Abstract
Sensitive fluorescence techniques opened novel opportunities to study the function and interaction of proteins in living cells. Here, we review the contribution of fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) and single-molecule tracking to study the dynamics of TNF receptor 1 and 2 (TNFR1/2). Although these techniques greatly differ, both report a similar behavior of TNF receptor (TNFR) species in Hela cells under different experimental conditions. FCS as well as single-molecule tracking revealed an increase of the diffusion coefficient of TNFR1 after treating cells with methyl-cyclodextrin.
In addition, FCS studies of the activation of TNFR1 showed that ligand binding hardly affects its diffusion coefficient.
In contrast, unstimulated TNFR2 was observed to diffuse faster than TNFR1, whereas ligand stimulation of TNFR2 decreases the diffusion coefficient.
In conclusion, the results indicate that the two TNFRs compartmentalize in distinct domains of the plasma membrane most likely determined by the respective transmembrane domains and/or transmembrane domain near regions.
