Figure 4. Stage specific phenotypes detected by DASC compared to transferrin uptake measurement.

(A) Schematic of 4 stages of CME: CS initiation, CCP stabilization, CCP maturation and CCV internalization. Stage 1-3 are quantified by CS initiation rate (CS init. in min−1μm−2), CCP% and CCP lifetime distribution. Bulk assays for transferrin receptor uptake (TfReff) measure CCV formation are not stage specific. CCP rate (min−1μm−2) measures the combination of initiation and stabilization. Effects of siRNA knockdown of CALM, epsin1 and Eps15 on (B) CS initiation rate, (C) CCP%, (D) CCP rate, (E) CCP lifetime distribution and (F) TfReff (internalized over surface bound transferrin receptors, error bars as 95% confidence interval and statistical significance explained in Materials and methods). 20 bootstrapped siControl movies from all experimental days as siControl* are compared to the specific siRNA conditions to obtained the DASC determined phenotypes in (B–D). (G) Probability distribution of -log10p of CCP% for 300 bootstraps. The 3 conditions in (B–D) plus siMock (20 more of bootstrapped siControl movies) are shown. Veridical lines indicates location of n.s. (p>0.05) and *** (p<0.001) significance. See details on data pooling in Materials and methods.

(A) Internalized transferrin receptors (TfRint) after 10 min in arbitrary unit (a.u.) after normalization to control. (B) Surface bound transferrin receptors (TfRsuf) (a.u.) after normalization to control. (C) Efficiency of transferrin receptor uptake (TfReff) as ratio of TfRint over TfRsuf after normalization to control. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance of TfRint and TfRsuf are obtained using 2-sample t-test. A statistical test for ratios is applied to calculate the significance of TfReff, see Materials and methods. (D) Representative KD efficiency of 11 EAPs shown by western blots.
