Calibration of distance-dependent GIET using DNA nanorulers.

Activated Ypt7 recruits effector proteins, for example the HOPS tethering complex at the vacuolar membrane.

50 nM HOPS Vps16-yEGFP complex was added to glass-supported lipid bilayers (middle row) and graphene-supported lipid monolayers (right row) loaded with 150 nM pYpt7-GTP, respectively. As a control, HOPS was incubated with the glass-supported lipid bilayer in the absence of pYpt7-GTP (left row). cLSM images were acquired under the same conditions. FLIM was not applicable to the negative control due to negligible binding of HOPS complex in this condition. Scale bars: 50 µm.

The means ± s.d. of histograms in A and B are 576 ± 96 photons, and 495 ± 90 photons, respectively.

Figure 5—figure supplement 3
Representative root mean square deviation (RMSD) of single-molecule intensity traces on glass.

From the RMSD and mean intensity, a relative error of 7.6% for single-molecule detection was obtained. Of note, the relative error at single-molecule level was ~2 times smaller than s.d. of the pooled single-molecule intensity analysis on glass (Figure 5—figure supplement 2), which can be explained by signal inhomogeneity due to the not fully uniform TIRF illumination profile.
