Figure Legend Snippet: ZO-1 Is under Tensile Stress Regulated by Matrix Stiffness (A) Domain structure of ZO-1. Indicated are the main structural domains and the insertion site of the FRET module. (B and C) The ZO-1 tension sensor (ZO-1-TS) was transiently expressed in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells prior to an analysis of localization by immunofluorescence (B) and immunoblotting (C) with anti-GFP or anti-CTD antibodies. (D and E) FRET analysis by acceptor bleaching and confocal microscopy of full-length ZO-1-TS and the control sensor lacking the CTD. Blebbistatin (10 μM) was added for 20 min prior to imaging. The yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) image taken prior to bleaching reveals the localization of the sensor. The graph shows a quantification of junctional FRET efficiencies of analyzed cells (n for ZO-1-TS, 23; ZO-1-TS-ΔCTD, 17; ZO-1-TS with Blebbistatin, 17; ZO-1-TS-ΔCTD with Blebbistatin, 11; box-plot shows median and interquartile ranges). (F and G) FRET analysis by epifluorescence microscopy of control siRNA-transfected MDCK cells plated on Matrigel-coated glass coverslips or hydrogels of different stiffnesses prior to transfection of the ZO-1 sensor (F). (G) Shows FRET efficiencies at cell-cell contacts of n analyzed cells (n for ZO-1-TS glass, 31; 40 kPa, 31; 1 kPa, 20; ZO-1-TS-ΔCTD glass, 17; 40 kPa, 18; 1 kPa, 18; box-plot shows median and interquartile ranges). Magnification bars, 20 μm. See also
