275 nm pixel-size images were acquired for FRET experiments (Figs 2–5), 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. PM/Cyt is the PM to cytoplasm ratio, which quantifies the relative distribution of FRETting pairs. The uncertainty is indicated as SEM for at least N > 20.
