Abstract
Master transcription factors such as TP63 establish super-enhancers (SEs) to drive core transcriptional networks in cancer cells, yet the spatiotemporal regulation of SEs within the nucleus remains unknown. The nuclear pore complex (NPC) may tether SEs to the nuclear pore where RNA export rates are maximal. Here, we report that NUP153, a component of the NPC, anchors SEs to the NPC and enhances TP63 expression by maximizing mRNA export. This anchoring is mediated through protein-protein interaction between the intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of NUP153 and the coactivator BRD4. Silencing of NUP153 excludes SEs from the nuclear periphery, decreases TP63 expression, impairs cellular growth, and induces epidermal differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma. Overall, this work reveals the critical roles of NUP153 IDRs in the regulation of SE localization, thus providing insights into a new layer of gene regulation at the epigenomic and spatial level.

Abstract
The microenvironment is indispensable for functionality of various biomacromolecules, subcellular compartments, living cells, and organisms. In particular, physical properties within the biological microenvironment could exert profound effects on both the cellular physiology and pathology, with parameters including the polarity, viscosity, pH, and other relevant factors. There is a significant demand to directly visualize and quantitatively measure the fluctuation in the cellular microenvironment with spatiotemporal resolution. To satisfy this need, analytical methods based on fluorescence probes offer great opportunities due to the facile, sensitive, and dynamic detection that these molecules could enable in varying biological settings from in vitro samples to live animal models. Herein, we focus on various types of small molecule fluorescent probes for the detection and measurement of physical parameters of the microenvironment, including pH, polarity, viscosity, mechanical force, temperature, and electron potential. For each parameter, we primarily describe the chemical mechanisms underlying how physical properties are correlated with changes of various fluorescent signals. This review provides both an overview and a perspective for the development of small molecule fluorescent probes to visualize the dynamic changes in the cellular environment, to expand the knowledge for biological process, and to enrich diagnostic tools for human diseases.

Abstract
Cellular membranes, including the plasma and endosome membranes, are barriers to outside proteins. Various vehicles have been devised to deliver proteins across the plasma membrane, but in many cases, the payload gets trapped in the endosome. Here we designed a photo-responsive phase-separating fluorescent molecule (PPFM) with a molecular weight of 666.8 daltons. The PPFM compound condensates as fluorescent droplets in the aqueous solution by liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), which disintegrate upon photoirradiation with a 405 nm light-emitting diode (LED) lamp within 20 min or a 405 nm laser within 3 min. The PPFM coacervates recruit a wide range of peptides and proteins and deliver them into mammalian cells. Photolysis disperses the payload from condensates into the cytosolic space. Altogether, a type of small molecules that are photo-responsive and phase separating are discovered; their coacervates can serve as transmembrane vehicles for intracellular delivery of proteins, whereas photo illumination triggers the cytosolic distribution of the payload.

Abstract
Protein liquid-liquid phase separation drives the dynamic assembly of membraneless organelles for fulfilling different physiological functions. Under diseased condition, protein may undergo liquid-to-solid condensation to form pathological amyloid aggregates closely associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Chemical probe serves as an important chemical tool not only for exploring the basic principle of the dynamic assembly of different protein condensates in vitro and in cell but also for clinical diagnosis and therapeutics of the related diseases. In this review, we first introduce chemical probes to image and regulate protein condensates. Then, we summarized three different categories of chemical probes including general amyloid dye, selective positron emission tomography tracer, and disaggregating binder, which feature distinct interaction pattern and activity upon binding to different pathological amyloid fibrillar aggregates. Next, we discuss the development of chemical probes for tracking protein amorphous aggregates in cells. Finally, we point out future direction in expanding the probes' chemical space and applications.

Abstract
Precise determination of boundaries in co-culture systems is difficult to achieve with scanning electrochemical microscopy alone. Thus, biological scanning electrochemical microscope platforms generally consist of a scanning electrochemical microscope positioner mounted on the stage of an inverted microscope for correlated electrochemical and optical imaging. Use of a fluorescence microscope allows for site-specific fluorescence labeling to obtain more clearly resolved spatial and electrochemical data. Here, we construct a unique hyperspectral assisted-biological scanning electrochemical microscope platform to widen the scope of biological imaging. Specifically, we incorporate a variable fluorescence bandpass source into a biological scanning electrochemical microscope platform for simultaneous optical, spectral, and electrochemical imaging. Not only does this platform serve as a cost-effective alternative to white light laser imaging, but additionally it provides multi-functional analysis of biological samples. Here, we demonstrate the efficacy of our platform to discern the electrochemical contribution of site-specific cells by optically and spectroscopically resolving boundaries as well as cell types within a complex biological system.

Abstract
Epigenetic deregulation plays an essential role in colorectal cancer progression. Bromodomains are epigenetic “readers” of histone acetylation. Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) plays a pivotal role in transcriptional regulation and is a feasible drug target in cancer cells. Disease-specific elevation of nucleoporin, a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), is a determinant of cancer malignancy, but BRD4-driven changes of NPC composition remain poorly understood. Here, we developed novel aminocyclopropenones and investigated their biological effects on cancer cell growth and BRD4 functions. Among 21 compounds developed here, we identified aminocyclopropenone 1n (ACP-1n) with the strongest inhibitory effects on the growth of the cancer cell line HCT116. ACP-1n blocked BRD4 functions by preventing its phase separation ability both in vitro and in vivo, attenuating the expression levels of BRD4-driven MYC. Notably, ACP-1n significantly reduced the nuclear size with concomitant suppression of the level of the NPC protein nucleoporin NUP210. Furthermore, NUP210 is in a BRD4-dependent manner and silencing of NUP210 was sufficient to decrease nucleus size and cellular growth. In conclusion, our findings highlighted an aminocyclopropenone compound as a novel therapeutic drug blocking BRD4 assembly, thereby preventing BRD4-driven oncogenic functions in cancer cells. This study facilitates the development of the next generation of effective and potent inhibitors of epigenetic bromodomains and extra-terminal (BET) protein family.

Abstract
Nuclear pore complexes (NPC) regulate molecular traffics on nuclear envelope, which plays crucial roles during cell fate specification and diseases. The viral accessory protein NSP9 of SARS-CoV-2 is reported to interact with nucleoporin 62 (NUP62), a structural component of the NPC, but its biological impact on the host cell remain obscure. Here, we established new cell line models with ectopic NSP9 expression and determined the subcellular destination and biological functions of NSP9. Confocal imaging identified NSP9 to be largely localized in close proximity to the endoplasmic reticulum. In agreement with the subcellular distribution of NSP9, association of NSP9 with NUP62 was observed in cytoplasm. Furthermore, the overexpression of NSP9 correlated with a reduction of NUP62 expression on the nuclear envelope, suggesting that attenuating NUP62 expression might have contributed to defective NPC formation. Importantly, the loss of NUP62 impaired translocation of p65, a subunit of NF-κB, upon TNF-α stimulation. Concordantly, NSP9 over-expression blocked p65 nuclear transport. Taken together, these data shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of host cells during SARS-CoV-2 infection.
