    Figure Lengend Snippet: a Boxplot showing relative duty ratio for α-actinin crosslinked network normalized by the mean of no-crosslinked condition. Duty ratio is estimated from the inverse of myosin ATPase activity ( n = 12 droplets, N = 6 independent experiments in 0; n = 10, N = 5 in 0.01; n = 11, N = 8 in 0.1; n = 17, N = 10 in 0.4; n = 11, N = 5 in 1). b Boxplot showing relative duty ratio for fascin crosslinked network normalized by the mean of no-crosslinked condition ( n = 7, N = 4 in 0; n = 11, N = 6 in 0.01; n = 6, N = 3 in 0.1; n = 8, N = 4 in 0.4; n = 10, N = 5 in 1). c Boxplot showing relative duty ratio for fimbrin crosslinked network normalized by the mean of no-crosslinked condition ( n = 6, N = 3 in 0; n = 5, N = 3 in 0.01; n = 11, N = 6 in 0.1; n = 6, N = 3 in 0.4; n = 10, N = 6 in 1). d Boxplot showing relative duty ratio for filamin crosslinked network normalized by the mean of no-crosslinked condition ( n = 6, N = 3 in 0; n = 5, N = 3 in 0.01; n = 11, N = 6 in 0.04; n = 9, N = 6 in 0.1; n = 11, N = 5 in 1). e Relative inferred mechanical power, normalized by the mean of no-crosslinked condition, dependence on various crosslinker concentrations. Sample size is the same as ( a – d ). Inset is the boxplots showing relative power at [Crosslinker]/[Actin] = 1 ( n = 11, N = 5 in α-actinin; n = 10, N = 5 in fascin; n = 10, N = 6 in fimbrin; n = 11, N = 5 in filamin). f Summary of the crosslinker-induced load-dependence of inferred mechanical power. Fascin and filamin-crosslinked networks allow strongly load-dependent inferred mechanical power, whereas fimbrin and α-actinin-crosslinked networks allow weakly load-dependent inferred mechanical power. g Relative inferred mechanical power vs relative energy consumption rate on various crosslinkers (α-actinin: n = 12, N = 6 in 0; n = 10, N = 5 in 0.01; n = 11, N = 8 in 0.1; n = 14, N = 10 in 0.4; n = 11, N = 5 in 1; fascin: n = 7, N = 4 in 0; n = 9, N = 6 in 0.01; n = 6, N = 3 in 0.1; n = 7, N = 4 in 0.4; n = 10, N = 5 in 1; fimbrin: n = 6, N = 3 in 0; n = 5, N = 3 in 0.01; n = 11, N = 6 in 0.1; n = 6, N = 3 in 0.4; n = 10, N = 6 in 1; filamin: n = 6, N = 3 in 0; n = 5, N = 3 in 0.01; n = 9, N = 6 in 0.04; n = 9, N = 6 in 0.1; n = 11, N = 5 in 1). h Schematic summarizing crosslinker-induced control of inferred mechanical power and ATP consumption rate by myosin. Data are presented as mean ± SD. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; n.s. not significant. Scale bars, 10 μm.

    Article Snippet: In the experiments assembling crosslinked actin network, fascin (CS-FSC01; Cytoskeleton Inc.), Fimbrin (Methods), α-actinin (AT01; Cytoskeleton Inc.), and Filamin (8312-01; Hypermol) were used at varied concentrations.
