(A) The time course of a representative dragging experiment. The displacement of the particle and the center of the OT are plotted against time. d _esc represents the escape distance, and δ_OT is the distance between the particle and the center of the OT at the escape point. Other parameters are explained in B. See the text for details. (B) Schematic drawings of the dragging experiments showing the interaction between the membrane protein and the membrane skeleton for the fence and tether models. d _fd represents the freely dragged distance, and δ_msk represents the strain of the membrane skeleton/cytoskeleton at the escape point. See the text for details.
