Table 1.

Translocation reference levels for cytoplasm- and membrane-targeted fluorescent control constructs measured through the EGFP, mCherry, and FRET-FLIM imaging detectors (supporting methods) at different pixel sizes.

275 nm pixel-size images were acquired for FRET experiments (Figs 25), while 68 nm pixel-size images were acquired for the quantification of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 levels (Fig. S6). The difference between PM/Cyt intensity values for 275 nm and 68 nm pixel size is due to the lower resolution of the former. fDeff PM/Cyt is the PM to cytoplasm fDeff ratio, which quantifies the relative distribution of FRETting pairs. The uncertainty is indicated as SEM for at least N > 20.
