Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Increase in Surface Pressure (ΔΠ) as a function of time for different concentration of AP2 on lipid monolayers enriched in 10 wt. % PtdIns(4,5)P 2 and TGN38 (2wt. %). The initial surface pressure Π 0 in all the cases has been fixed to 25 ± 1 mN/m similar to the lateral pressure in a plasma membrane leaflet. (B) Normalized surface pressure plotted against to the time elapsed after a lag period and fitted by a stretched exponential (straight lines) following . (C) Concentration dependence of the average relaxation ratio and a linear fit (straight lines). (D) Maximal increase in surface pressure ΔΠ ∞ for lipid monolayers at different composition at Π 0 =25 ± 1 mN/m and a fixed concentration of AP2 of 500 nM. (E) Tensiometry binding analysis for AP2 recruited to a monolayer enriched in PtdIns(4,5)P 2 and TGN38 or CD4 at different values of Π 0 . The increment in pressure, ΔΠ, is proportional to the amount of protein binding to the lipid monolayer at the air/water interface. Straight lines are fits to the experimental data obtained through the Hill-Langmuir relation . (F) The increment in pressure, ΔΠ as a function of AP2 concentration for CD4 and TGN38 monolayers after subtracting PtdIns(4,5)P 2 contribution. ( G ) Uppermost surface pressure increments due to the interaction of AP2 with a monolayer at Π 0 = 25 ± 1 mN/m, at different concentration of PtdIns(4,5)P 2 . ( H ) Dissociation constants for PtdIns(4,5)P 2 monolayers enriched in CD4 and TGn38 at different initial surface pressure. Bar diagrams in D, G, H are represented as mean ± S.D. (n = 5).
Article Snippet: Lipid monolayers were doped with 0.1 mol % BODIPY-TMR PtdIns(4,5)P 2 and observed using an inverted bright-field microscope (Nikon Eclipse) with an extra-long working distance (WD 3.7–2.7 mm, NA 0.60) objective of 40× magnification.
