FRET efficiencies determined by live-cell sensitized emission in the nucleus ( Nuc ) or cytoplasm ( Cyt ) of COS-1 cells expressing EGFP-mCherry (n = 31 each for nucleus and cytoplasm) and mCherry-EGFP (n = 34 each for nucleus and cytoplasm) (d), or EYFP-mCherry (n = 27 each for nucleus and cytoplasm) and mCherry-EYFP (n = 33 each for nucleus and cytoplasm) (e). Data were obtained from three independent experiments. DA , donor-acceptor configuration (EGFP-mCherry and EYFP-mCherry); AD , acceptor-donor configuration (mCherry-EGFP and mCherry-EYFP); D/A , non-fused control of donor (EGFP or EYFP) and acceptor (mCherry); Nuc , nucleus; Cyt , cytoplasm. Values are expressed as means ± SE. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 by two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni/Dunn’s post- hoc tests. n.s., not significant.

    a–d. Jittered plots of the transformed ( t ) FRET metric, K = E /(1- E ), calculated from FRET efficiency measured by live-cell acceptor photobleaching in COS-1 cells expressing the indicated fusion proteins: EGFP-mCherry (n = 30 each for nucleus and cytoplasm), mCherry-EGFP (n = 33 each for nucleus and cytoplasm), EYFP-mCherry (n = 28 each for nucleus and cytoplasm), and mCherry-EYFP (n = 33 each for nucleus and cytoplasm). Values are derived from three independent experiments. Data are shown as individual points (jittered). The dotted lines indicate the mean. **** p < 0.0001 by unpaired t -test. e. Orientation index ( OI = K AD / K DA ) in EGFP-mCherry and mCherry-EGFP, and EYFP-mCherry and mCherry-EYFP, calculated separately in the nucleus ( Nuc ) and cytoplasm ( Cyt ). Statistics were performed on mean values from three independent experiments (n = 3). Data are shown as means ± SE. ** p < 0.01 by one-sample t -test (µ = 1). The dotted line indicates 1.0. f–i. Scatter plots of donor fluorescence intensity ( FI ) vs. FRET efficiency measured by acceptor photobleaching in COS-1 cells expressing EGFP-mCherry (F; n = 173 ROIs), mCherry-EGFP (G; n = 181 ROIs), EYFP-mCherry (H; n = 151 ROIs), and mCherry-EYFP (I; n = 171 ROIs). Red dotted lines indicate linear regression fits ( r ² values shown). Data are from three independent experiments. Negligible correlations were observed.
