Figures & data
Figure 1 Cartoon diagrams of genetically encoded force sensors where the letter A in the fluorophore represents the acceptor Venus, the letter D represents the donor Cerulean. The arrows represent energy transfer from donor to acceptor. (A) stFRET; (B) sstFRET. (C) TSMod, mTFP1 is the donor and Venus is the acceptor. (D) PriSSM, using wild-type GFP and circularly permutated GFP for PRIM dimers.

Figure 2 Diagrams of inserting the force probes into host proteins. (A) Actinin-stFRET forming anti-parallel dimers. (B) Spectrin-stFRET exists as a hetero-dimer with α and β subunits. (C) Vinculin-TSMod associating at focal adhesions as monomers. (D) A protein construct of PriSSM with myosin motors on the ends.
