(A) Alexa488-labeled p-Nephrin (2200 molecules/µm2) was clustered by addition of 2 μM N-WASP and 1 μM Nck. Images show time course of p-Nephrin (top row), actin (middle row) and merge (bottom row) …
(A) Images of clusters formed by p-Nephrin (2173 molecules/μm2 on the supported lipid bilayer) plus soluble 1 μM Nck, 2 μM N-WASP, 10 nM Arp2/3 complex, and 1 μM actin (10% rhodamine labeled) at 0 …
Enlarged actin assembly images from Figure 7, including more time points between 36 and 45 min. Top, middle, and bottom rows show p-Nephrin Alexa488, rhodamine-actin and merge, respectively.
Time-lapse images taken immediately after adding 1 μM Nck and 1 μM N-WASP to p-Nephrin Alexa488. Images were captured every minute.
Time-lapse of clusters made from 1 μM Nck and 1 μM N-WASP with p-Nephrin Alexa488 on the membrane. Images were captured every 30 s. In addition to fusion events, the clusters also occasionally …
Addition of 10 μM 1pY—TIR causes the clusters of 1 μM (SH3)3 and 500 nM N-WASP to dissipate. Images were captured every 30 s.
