Effects of valency on initial localization and response to PKA activation. (A) Table contains the amino acid sequences of the peptides containing the different number of substrates. (B) Representative images of peptides containing one, two, and three substrates, each of which is fused to a yellow fluorescent protein (YFP), show the initial distribution (Pre) and the distribution 10 minutes post-treatment (Post) of 50 µM forskolin and 100 µM IBMX. (C) Response profile shows the normalized fluorescence signal change resulting from the activation of PKA for peptide consisting of one (blue), two (yellow), and three (black) substrates. (D) Bar chart represents the pre-treatment localization (blue) and post-treatment localization (red) as measured by taking the ratio of cytosol-to-nuclear fluorescent signal for peptide consisting of one, two, and three substrates. All data points in this figure represent an average signal intensity calculated from 30 cells over 3 independent experiments. Error bar represents standard error of mean. * represents p < 0.001. Scale bar represents 10 µm.
