AbstractChanges in chromatin compaction are crucial during genomic responses. Thus, methods that enable such measurements are instrumental for investigating genome function. Here, we address this challenge by developing, validating, and streamlining histone-based fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) that robustly detects chromatin compaction states in fixed and live cells; in 2D and 3D. We present quality-controlled and detailed method that is simpler and faster than previous approches, and uses FLIMfit open-source software. We demonstrate the versatility of our method through its combination with immunofluorescence and its implementation in immortalised cells and primary neurons. Owing to these developments, we applied this method to elucidate the function of the DNA damage response kinase, ATM, in regulating chromatin organisation after genotoxic-stress. We unravelled a role for ATM in regulating chromatin compaction independently of DNA damage. Collectively, we present an adaptable chromatin FLIM method for examining chromatin structure in cells, and establish its broader utility.

We present a novel imaging technique with super-resolution axial sensitivity, exploiting the changes in fluorescence lifetime above a plasmonic substrate. Using conventional confocal fluorescence lifetime imaging, we show that it is possible to deliver down to 6 nm axial position sensitivity of fluorophores in whole biological cell imaging. We employ this technique to map the topography of the cellular membrane, and demonstrate its application in an investigation of receptor-mediated endocytosis in carcinoma cells.
