AbstractThe solubilization of membranes by detergents is critical for many technological applications and has become widely used in biochemistry research to induce cell rupture, extract cell constituents, and to purify, reconstitute and crystallize membrane proteins. The thermodynamic details of solubilization have been extensively investigated, but the kinetic aspects remain poorly understood. Here we used a combination of single-vesicle Förster resonance energy transfer (svFRET), fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring to access the real-time kinetics and elementary solubilization steps of sub-micron sized vesicles, which are inaccessible by conventional diffraction-limited optical methods. Real-time injection of a non-ionic detergent, Triton X, induced biphasic solubilization kinetics of surface-immobilized vesicles labelled with the Dil/DiD FRET pair. The nanoscale sensitivity accessible by svFRET allowed us to unambiguously assign each kinetic step to distortions of the vesicle structure comprising an initial fast vesicle-swelling event followed by slow lipid loss and micellization. We expect the svFRET platform to be applicable beyond the sub-micron sizes studied here and become a unique tool to unravel the complex kinetics of detergent-lipid interactions.

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is responsible for the recycling of endocytosed albumin and IgG and contributes to their long plasma half-life. We recently identified a FcRn-dependent, recycling pathway from macropinosomes in macrophages (Toh et al, 2019), however, little is known about the dynamics of intracellular FcRn-ligand interactions to promote recycling. Here we demonstrate a multiplexed biophysical fluorescent microscopy approach to resolve the spatiotemporal dynamics of albumin-FcRn interactions in living bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs). We used the phasor approach to fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) of Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to detect the interaction of a FcRn-mCherry fusion protein with endocytosed Alexa Fluor 488-labelled human serum albumin (HSA-AF488) in BMDMs, and Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS) analysis of single fluorescent-labelled albumin molecules to monitor the diffusion kinetics of internalised albumin. Our data identified a major fraction of immobile HSA-AF488 molecules in endosomal structures of human FcRn-positive mouse macrophages and an increase in FLIM- FRET following endocytosis, including detection of FRET in tubular-like structures. A non-binding mutant of albumin showed minimum FLIM-FRET and high mobility. These data reveal the kinetics of FcRn-ligand binding within endosomal structures for recruitment into transport carriers for recycling. These approaches have wide applicability for analyses of intracellular ligand-receptor interactions.
