Title: Inferring Src kinetics from single molecule measurements

Abstract: We describe a novel approach to generate fluorescent biosensors. The binder/tag method is based on the insertion of a small peptide in the target protein. Readout of conformational change results from the conformation-dependent interaction of this peptide (the ‘tag’) with a separately expressed protein (the ‘binder’). We apply binder/tag to study Src kinetics at the single molecule level. We present computational and mathematical approaches for detecting clusters of Src activity and inferring in vivo activation kinetics from single molecule data. Our analysis reveals Src clusters consist of roughly 200 molecules and have a lifetime of roughly 10 seconds. Analyzing Src conformation during single particle tracking also revealed increased Src density and activity in adhesions, and clusters of Src molecules that contained slowly diffusing regions of activated Src.
