MTS-dGFP fusion construct requires intact TOM40/TOM20 translocase for mitochondrial import, serving as direct read-out of compartmentalized proteostasis capacity. CHOP promoter-driven alternative fluorophore provides stress-responsive signal. Cryo-EM of import pores in same cells anchors ratiometric imaging to ultrastructure. Primary flaw: reporter fails entirely when import machinery is impaired (ceiling effect), generating false-negatives indistinguishable from severe pathology.
FRAP-based measurement of TDP-43 liquid-liquid phase separation state provides a continuous biomarker of nuclear-cytoplasmic compartmentalization. Endogenous TDP-43-eGFP knock-in in iPSC neurons enables longitudinal monitoring; orthogonal validation via mAb414 nuclear pore integrity anchors imaging to ultrastructure. Primary constraint is imaging endpoint gap—two-photon FRAP is not deployable in standard trials; PET ligand development is the critical path to clinical utility.
