The homodimerisation and localisation of PDK1 PH domain follows PtdIns(3,4,5)P₃ levels, contrary to full-length PDK1. All experiments were performed under resting conditions (−), stimulation of the PI3K pathway with EGF (+) or treated with the PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) prior to stimulation. SKBR3 cells were cotransfected with GFP- and mRFP- tagged PH^PDK1. (A) Representative intensity and FRET-FLIM f_D images. (B) Relative distribution of PH^PDK1 at the PM and the cytoplasm of SKBR3 cellx. The dashed line indicates the reference level for a control cytoplasmic protein (Table 1). (C) Quantification of the homodimerisation efficiency of WT PH^PDK1 and its mutants. (D) Localisation of the PH^PDK1 homodimers in SKBR3 cells. The graph shows the ratio of PH^PDK1 dimers at the PM and the cytoplasm based on the segmentation of the f_D images shown in (A). Scale is 20 µm. N > 30. Error bars: SEM. (C,D) N > 30. Box: 2xSEM; Whiskers: 80% population. Mann-Whitney test *p < 0.05. Three independent experiments.
