Abstract
AbstractThe inability to simultaneously observe all of the important Rho GTPases (Cdc42, Rac1, and RhoA) has prevented us from obtaining evidence of their coordinated regulation during cell deformation. Here, we propose Motion-Triggered Average (MTA), an algorithm that converts individually observed GTPases into pseudo-simultaneous observations. Using the time series obtained by MTA and mathematical model, we succeeded for the first time in decoding the cell edge velocity from the three GTPase activities to provide clear numerical evidence for coordinated cell edge regulation by the three GTPases. We found that the characteristics of the obtained activities were consistent with those of previous studies, and that GTPase activities and their derivatives were involved in edge regulation. Our approach provides an effective strategy for using single-molecule observations to elucidate problems hampered by the lack of simultaneous observations.
