ANXA7 is required for ALG-2 binding to supported membranes. (a) Schematic representation of supported membrane model composed of primary and secondary membranes. Non-vesicular membrane patches with open edges were used in the subsequent experiments (POPC/POPS, 9:1 molar ratio). (b) Representative sequential images before and after addition of recombinant ANXA7-GFP protein to a membrane patch stained with DiD (DiD channel: upper panel. Lower panel: GFP channel) in the presence of Ca2+ (Also see Supplementary Movie S2). Note, ANXA7-GFP induces a pearl-like membrane conformation. (c) Similar experiment as in b but in the absence of Ca2+ (top panel) or POPS (lower panel). (d) Sequential images before and after addition of recombinant ALG-2-GFP protein to a membrane patch stained with DiD in the presence of Ca2+. (e) Addition of ANXA7 (without GFP) and ALG-2-GFP proteins trigger ALG-2-GFP membrane binding. Accumulation of ALG-2-GFP into pearl-like peripheral structures induced by ANXA7 are indicated by yellow arrows (upper panel, DiD. Lower panel: GFP channel).
