FIGURE 3.
Establishment of LOV domain-based iLID system in macrophages and Dictyostelium. (A) Time-lapse confocal images of RAW 264.7 macrophage expressing tgRFPt-SSPB R73Q (or sspb) before or after 488 nm laser was turned on globally. Time in min:sec format. Scale bars represent 5 μm. (B) Time-lapse images of RAW 264.7 macrophage expressing tgRFPt-SSPB R73Q (or sspb) which was recruited exclusively to one side of the cell by applying 488 nm light near it, as denoted by dashed white box. Both (A, B) highlight the fast reversibility of this system. Time in min:sec format. Scale bars represent 5 μm. (C) Time-lapse confocal images of a field of vegetative Dictyostelium expressing tgRFPt-SSPB R73Q (or sspb) before or after 488 nm laser was switched on globally. Pink arrows denote successful recruitment in cells. Time in min:sec format. Scale bars represent 5 μm. (D) Time-lapse images of vegetative Dictyostelium expressing tgRFPt-SSPB R73Q (or sspb) which was recruited exclusively to one side of the cell by applying 488 nm light near it, as denoted by dashed white box. Time in min:sec format. Scale bars represent 5 μm. (E) A linescan across the cytosol-membrane of the cell in (D) denoting increased sspb intensity on the membrane after laser was switched on near the region. (F) Schematic representation of experimental data shown in (A). (G) Schematic representation of experimental data shown in (B, D). Both (F, G) highlight fast reversibility of iLID system with both global or local recruitment experiments.
