Kymographs and autocorrelation analysis of NPCs.
(A–D) Kymographs
of NPCs at the cytoplasmic face (top row), recorded as explained in Figure 1, but with time on
the vertical axis (recorded at line frequencies of 5 and 10 Hz). The
concomitant autocorrelation factor, R, is displayed
as a function of position with respect to the pore center and as a
function of time-lag, τ, with τ plotted on linear (second
row) and logarithmic (third row) scales. The average height profiles
(blue) and respective standard deviations (red) are plotted in the
final row. (E and F) Same as for (A–D) but for the nucleoplasmic
face of NPCs. Kymograph height scales: 50 nm (A and C), 60 nm (B),
25 nm (D), 40 nm (E and F). (A–D) Data each from different
NPCs. (E and F) The same NPC scanned at 5 and 10 Hz.
