Fig. 1. Characterization of the genetically engineered LANS system enabling light-dependent recruitment of LANS2 to nucleoli. A. Schematic representation of the lightdependent dimerization probes LANS1 and LANS2. FP=fluorescent protein. В. Fluorescence microscopy images of HeLa cells transfected with LANS1 and LANS2 before (left), during (middle), and after (right) blue light irradiation. White arrows indicate the nucleoli. С. Fluorescence image of the nucleolus in HeLa cell expressing the DPF3-mScarlet sensor. D. Graph showing the nucleolus/cytoplasm relative fluorescence ratio for LANS2 during the experiment. Data represent mean ± range (n = 33 nucleoli)
