(a) Overall structure of the mouse E-cad cytoplasmic tail in complex with mouse ß-cat as a ribbon diagram. Cylinders represent α-helices and the arm repeat region of ß-cat is shown in grey (H1, H2 and intervening loops) and blue (H3). The regions of E-cad are shown in magenta (I), green (II), yellow (III), red (IV), and brown (V). The N- and C- terminus of each protein is marked. Structure based on reference (Huber and Weis, 2001). (b) ß-cat in complex with Region II of E-cad showing the interaction of ß-cat Y654 with E-cad D665, in mice. Arm repeats in ß-cat are marked with R. Residues of ß-cat are labelled in bold italics, and residues of E-cad in plain text. Oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphur are shown in red, blue and green spheres, respectively. Individual side chains of ß-cat are shown in purple (H3) or grey (others). Only those residues are shown that form direct contacts between the two proteins. E-cad is shown with yellow bonds while hydrogen bonds and salt bridges are shown as thin pink lines. (c) Model of the Drosophila ß-cat protein (Armadillo) shown as a white ribbon diagram (Model structure was build using the SwissModel program) in complex with the c-terminal part of DE-cad. The Drosophila Armadillo Y667 residue that corresponds to the mouse Y654 residue is shown in red. The Armadillo loops between alpha-helices H2 and H3 of Arm repeat 12 and between alpha-helices H2 and H3 of Arm repeat 11 are coloured in light blue. DE-cad is shown in the different colours corresponding to its different interaction regions (here only region I, II and III). The sequence of region II used as immunogen is coloured in bright orange.. The lower panel is the same view but turned by 900. (d) Sequence alignment of the 12th Arm repeat of the ß-cat protein of different model species is shown with the Src phosphorylation site of a specific Tyrosine is boxed in red. (e) Sequence alignment of the cytoplasmic tail of E-cad of Mus musculus (Mm), and Drosophila melanogaster (Dm) with corresponding UniProt identifiers are given. Colours encode chemical properties of amino acids, following ClustalX 2.1 conventions. The lines on top indicate the different regions of interaction with ß-cat (shown in c) with the boxes indication alpha-helices.

Fluorescence lifetime measurements of the β-cat-C-terminus-GFP donor in the presence of the Alexa555 antibody against E-cad linear region II as acceptor mesoderm invagination.

(a) Illustration of FRET experiments performed at two different stages of development when the strain in the tissue builds up. Embryos expressing β-cat-GFP (donor) are injected with anti-E-cad antibodies directly labelled with Alexa555 (acceptor) for FRET experiments. FRET experiments are performed by analysing the lifetime of the donor. Images showing the lifetime of GFP donor: the FRET efficiency will decrease when the two sites that are attached to the fluorophore, become more separated by increased strain in the molecule. Structure based on reference (Huber and Weis, 2001). (b) Invaginating embryo showing the invaginated furrow at stage 6 with a longer junctional lifetime compared to the surrounding ectodermal tissue and to stage 5 mesoderm cells (examples shown with yellow arrows). (c) Left- Quantification of the lifetime difference at different stages and different tissues. ANOVA test p value: p=0.0156. T-test p-values are of p=0.021 for mesoderm (N = 11) versus ectoderm (N = 10) at stage 6 and 0.004 for mesoderm at stage 6 versus stage 5 (N = 11). No significant change was observed in the ectoderm at stage 6 (N = 10) compared to stage 5 (N = 8) (p=0.74), and between the mesoderm and the ectoderm at stage 5 (p=0.33). In some embryos, the ectoderm could not be imaged properly. Right- Differences of lifetime of β-cat-GFP expressing Drosophila embryos injected with PBS without antibody in the mesoderm at stage 5 (N = 9) and stage 6 (N = 9) respectively (p=0.83). As expected, PBS injection without the antibody acceptor lead to a lifetime of 2.600 ± 0.039 ns, higher compared to 2.473 ± 0.074 ns with the antibody at stage 5 (see Figure 2c-source data2, p=0.00016). Statistical tests are t-student.

Specific labeling of junctional E-cad with JCAb20.

(a) Left: Western blots showing whole embryo protein extracts (denatured conditions) detected with either DE-cad antibody (first lane) or our new JCAb20 against the region in E-cad binding to β-cat at the Y654-β-cat/D665-E-cad site. Right: Immunoprecipitation by using the JCAb20 antibody as a trap, and the DE-cad antibody for revelation. The band is at the 140 kDA weight of the mature DE-cad protein. Other bands around 40 kDA are presumably immunoglobulins. Colored bands are pre-stained markers. (b) Immunostainings of methanol fixed embryo mesoderm epithelia at stage 5. Note that the epitope detected by the antibody JCAb20 co-localises with β-cat. See Table 1 for the list of hits resulting from a standard protein-protein BLAST search against the Drosophila proteome (taxid: 7227) for the immunogen peptide sequence used to generate the JCAb20 antibody.

FLIM measurements in the mesoderm in response to magnetically induced cell apex constriction mimicking the onset of mesoderm invagination.

(a) Illustration of the magnetic stimulation setup. The blue region corresponds to the mesoderm, in which UMLs where injected. (b) Time series of a magnetic stimulation experiment with β-cat-GFP expressing flies injected with siRNA for snail and twist as well as UMLs and Alexa555 labelled antibody against E-cad. The grey bar indicates when magnetic force was applied. Yellow arrows indicate examples of lifetime increase in the junctions. Times are indicated in min/s. (c) Quantification of the cell apex area for the experiment shown in b. Note that the area is decreasing in the sna twi RNAi background when the magnetic field is applied. (d) Lifetime difference of stage 6 to the average lifetime before magnetic field application of stage 5, of N = 9 experiments with magnet applied and N = 8 without magnet applied as well as N = 6 experiments with PBS instead of antibody injected and magnet applied. Whereas the experiments without magnetic field applied, or PBS instead of antibody injected, show no difference, the one with antibody and magnetic field applied show a significant increase of the lifetime, p value = 0.00061 (t-students test). The absence of increase of the lifetime difference within sna twi RNAi non-invaginating conditions without magnet between stage 5 and stage 6 is characterized by the p-value p=0.0003 compared to the increase between stage 5 and 6 in the invaginating WT of Figure 2c-left, and of p=0.75 compared to the lifetime difference in the invaginating WT injected with PBS of Figure 2c-right (t-students test). (e) Lifetime difference to the average lifetime before the magnetic field was applied for the experiment shown in. Grey box indicates when the magnetic field was applied.

‘pvalue Fisher t-test curves comparison’.

Entering the values in the ‘experiment.xls’ file (‘1’ is time 1 and ‘2’ is time 2 of the experimental curve, C is control and P is perturbed conditions), saving it and putting it in the same file than the script, opening the script under Rstudio on MacOS10, selecting the program from line 1 to line 83, running it, selecting the test ‘t’ line 85, running it, leads to the p-value.
