Table 1. Predicted molecular weights and mobile fractions for Venus, Venus-LC3B, and Venus-LC3B mutants based on the FRAP diffusion measurements in live HEK 293 cells under basal conditions.
Construct | Monomer MW (kDa) | FRAP predicted MW (kDa)* | FRAP mobile fraction (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Venus | 27 | N/A | 100 ± 1 (34) |
Venus-LC3B | 45 | 500 ± 200 (30) | 99 ± 1 (30) |
Venus-LC3B (F52A/L53A) | 45 | 1200 ± 400 (30) | 100 ± 1 (30) |
Venus-LC3B (R70A) | 45 | 130 ± 50 (30) | 102 ± 2 (30) |
*Calculated assuming diffusing species has a spherical shape; mean ± 95% CI (N, # cells).
