CLIC4 translocation toward activated GPCRs and NHERF2. (A) Differential distribution of translocated GFP-CLIC4 in the same cell. N1E-115 cells were first stimulated with TRP (50 μM) and thereafter with LPA (1 μM). Also see Supplemental Video 2. Right, differential recruitment of endogenous CLIC4 by LPA and TRP. Bars, 10 μm. (B) Colocalization of GFP-CLIC4 and DsRed-NHERF2 at polarized regions of the plasma membrane in N1E-115 cells. Bar, 10 μm. (C) Triple colocalization of endogenous CLIC4 (Alexa488-conjugated secondary antibody; shown in blue), DsRed-NHERF2 (shown in green), and HA-LPA2 (Alexa633-conjugated secondary antibody; shown in red). Bar, 10 μm. (D) CLIC4 translocates to activated LPA receptor complexes. Pictures taken from time-lapse movies showing LPA1-GFP and CLIC4-mCherry before and after LPA stimulation. Arrows indicate plasma membrane regions where LPA1-GFP and CLIC4-mCherry transiently colocalize after LPA addition (also see Supplemental Video 3). Bar, 10 μm. (E) CLIC4 accumulates selectively in ligand-exposed membrane domains. TRP was locally applied by combining an application and a suction pipette. Besides TRP (3 μM), the application pipette contained calcium orange (0.2 mM) to continuously monitor the flux between both pipettes. After verifying the gradient steepness of the TRP/dye mix, a selected cell was positioned near the pipettes and GFP-CLIC4 was imaged during local TRP application. Top, fluorescence and transmission images before ligand application. Arrows indicate pipettes (cell debris was attracted by the suction pipette). Bottom, at t = 0, a brief pulse of TRP reaches a small area of the plasma membrane. At t = 40 s, GFP-CLIC4 accumulates selectively at the TRP-exposed area of the plasma membrane. At t = 50 s, a second TRP pulse is applied. At t = 90 s, further accumulation of GFP-CLIC4 is observed. Also see Supplemental Video 4. Pictures are representative of four independent experiments. Bar, 20 μm.
