Depolarization of SH-SY5Y cells increases the interaction between Arc-mCherry and EGFP-PICK1. (a) The amount of Arc/PICK1 complex formation is increased under depolarizing conditions based on the G(0) values from the cross-correlation functions obtained from RICS (ccRICS) analysis. (b,c) Intensity images of EGFP-PICK1 in non-depolarizing and depolarizing buffer (respectively) show areas of PICK1 localization. (d) Phasor points of a co-transfected cell under depolarizing conditions show a population of unquenched pixels (no interaction) circled in green with a lifetime of 2.3 ns and a distinct second population of quenched pixels (interaction between Arc-mCherry and EGFP-PICK1) circled in red with a much lower lifetime of 1.8 ns. (e,f) Spatial arrangement of phasor points on representative non-depolarized and depolarized cells (respectively) indicate the location of pixels that do not show FRET (e; green) and pixels showing FRET (f; red).
