Figure 4: Comparison of the RASSF family members in terms of dimerisation with the SARAHMST1 domain using FRET.

(A) Plate map showing average EGFP donor lifetimes (ps) calculated for 10 fields of view (FOV) per well using a monoexponential fit. (B) False-colour FLIM images of cells from a typical FOV in each well showing the EGFP lifetime (ps) per pixel. (C) Box plots showing median EGFP lifetimes, interquartile (box range), standard deviation (whisker), 1% and 99% percentile (×) and minimum/maximum values (−) calculated for individual cells averaged over 10 FOV per well using monoexponential analysis: green: EGFP-RASSF(1–10) only; red: EGFP-RASSF(1–10) + mCherry-SARAHMST1; blue: EGFP-RASSF(1–10) + mCherry-MST1ΔSARAH (see Supplementary material for a table of differences in mean fluorescence lifetime). (D) Acceptor/donor intensity ratios (ImCherry/IEGFP) averaged over each cell for all the conditions in the plate. The colour code is the same as in C). (E) Scattered plots of EGFP lifetimes versus acceptor/donor intensity ratios (ImCherry/IEGFP) calculated for individual cells (with same colour code as for C). FLIM data were acquired with wide-field imaging.
