Fig. 6. Kindlin 2 membrane recruitment and free diffusion is crucial for kindlin enrichment in FAs.

Fig. 6

Top panel: TIRF images of photoconverted mEos2 coupled to kindlin-2-WT (a), kindlin-2-QW (b), kindlin-2-ΔPH (c), kindlin-2-ΔPH-CAAX (d), or photoconverted mEos2 alone (e). Bottom panel: TIRF images of GFP-paxillin showing the localization of FAs. Scale bar, 2 µm. f Enrichment inside FAs defined as the ratio of the average fluorescence intensity inside FAs to average fluorescence intensity outside FAs. Black bars represent medians and interquartile ranges. Displayed results correspond to pooled data from three independent experiments (kindlin-2-WT: 36 cells, kindlin-2-QW: 24 cells, kindlin-2-ΔPH: 27 cells, kindlin-2-ΔPH-CAAX: 50 cells, kindlin-2-L357A: 34 cells, kindlin-2-K390A: 30 cells, mEos2: 38 cells). Where indicated, statistical significance was obtained using two‐tailed, non‐parametric Mann–Whitney rank sum test. The different conditions were compared to the mEos2‐kindlin-2-WT condition. Otherwise, a black line indicates which conditions were compared. The exact P values are indicated on the figure except when P < 0.0001. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
