Supplemental Figure legends

Figure S1. Characterization and calculation of reference parameters for particles

diffusion and intensity, related to Figure 1. (A) AcGFP monomeric protein

immobilized on glass was used to calculate the smallest detectable diffusion coefficient;

∼95% of immobile AcGFP monomeric protein had a diffusion coefficient ≤0.0015

µm2/s. Thus, we considered this as the threshold for discriminating immobile vs. mobile

trajectories. Median indicated (red). Similar results were obtained on fixed Jurkat CD4+

cells transfected with CXCR4-AcGFP. (B-C) CXCR4-AcGFP confined particles show

restricted mobility within ∼200 nm regions. Jurkat CD4+ cells were electroporated with

CXCR4-AcGFP (JKCD4) and assessed by SPT-TIRF. (B) Three representative 2D

trajectories of CXCR4-AcGFP on steady state cells. Boxes around the trajectories are

340 x 340 nm and show CXCR4wt diffusion in regions of ∼200 nm. Trajectories were

acquired at 10 frames/s. (C) Confinement size (L) in µm is shown; each dot represents

mean L/cell. We evaluated L for CXCR4 confined trajectories in 12 cells. Data shown

as mean ± SEM. (D-F) Detection of monomeric CD86-AcGFP expressed on Jurkat

CD4+ cells by SPT-TIRF. (D) Representative frame showing different CD86-AcGFP

fluorescent spots. The position of each particle was detected automatically (in the

example, 8 particles were detected, red circles). Scale bar, 1 µm. (E) Representative

intensity profile of the monomeric CD86-AcGFP particle, marked as 8 in D). A single

photobleaching step was detected, as expected for single molecules. The inset shows the

fluorescence intensity of particle 8 in frame 10 (1s, i) and in frame 100 (10 s, ii). (F)

Fluorescence intensity histogram from monomeric CD86-AcGFP single particles,

detected by one photobleaching step evaluation (data from 161 trajectories in 25 cells in

3-5 separate experiments). The reference fluorescence intensity value for monomer

(1336 ± 156 a.u.) was obtained from the Gaussian fit (red line) of the histogram. (G)

multiple comparison test were used (not significant, p >0.05). (E-F) CXCL12-mediated

CXCR4 nanoclusters do not correspond to internalization vesicles, related to Figure 2.

(E) Jurkat CD4+ cells expressing CXCR4-AcGFP were untreated, pretreated with

PitStop2 (30 µM, red box), an inhibitor of clathrin-coated pits, or with PitStopNeg, a

chemical compound used as a PitStop2 control (30 µM, control, hatched blue box) (15

min, 37ºC). Cells were placed on FN or FN+CXCL12 (100 nM) coverslips (5 min,

37ºC, 5% CO2), fixed and evaluated by SPT. CXCL12-mediated nanoclustering of

CXCR4 particles, defined as increase of particle intensity, was similar in all

experimental conditions tested. One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple

comparison test were used to determine significant differences between means (not

significant, p >0.05, ** p <0.001). (F) CXCL12-mediated CXCR4 nanoclusters size

(particle intensity, a.u.) was evaluated by SPT in CXCR4-AcGFP-expressing Jurkat

CD4+ cells pre-treated with brefeldin A, an inhibitor of intracellular protein transport

(10 µg/ml; 30 min, 37ºC, 5% CO2). *** p <0.0001; two-tailed Mann-Whitney

constant amount of CXCR4-CFP and increasing amounts of CXCR4-YFP. Cells were

pre-treated with LatA (1 µM, 15 min, 37ºC; red) and then stimulated with CXCL12

(100 nM, 30 min, 37ºC). Control experiments were done using ethanol (diluent for

LatA) (control, blue). Data were analyzed using a nonlinear regression for a single

binding site model. One representative experiment of seven is shown. (B-E) SPT was

used to assess the effect of nocodazole on CXCR4 dynamics and clustering. JKCD4

particle trajectories classified as confined, Brownian or directed motion using the

moment scaling spectrum (MSS) analysis on unstimulated or CXCL12-stimulated cells

(236 trajectories on steady state control; 309 trajectories on steady state nocodazole;

177 trajectories on CXCL12-stimulated control and 179 trajectories on CXCL12-

stimulated nocodazole; in > 10 JKCD4 cells per condition, n = 3, not significant, p

>0.05, ** p <0.01; Chi-square test). Notice that CXCL12 stimulation leads to a slight

increase on the percentage of trajectories exhibiting directed transport, which are fully

abrogated by nocodazole. This indicates that although some vesicle trafficking might be

present, it constitutes only a very small fraction of the total trajectories analyzed.

Figure S5. Effects of the blockade of actin polymerization and CD4 co-expression

in CXCL12-mediated responses, related to Figure 5. (A) CD4 coexpression does not

modify cell surface CXCR4 levels. Jurkat cells were electroporated with CD4-YFP or

YFP vector (YFP). After 24 h, CXCR4 membrane expression was determined by flow

cytometry. (B) Purified human naïve CD4+ T lymphocytes were pretreated LatA (1 µm,

15 min, 37ºC) or with LatA diluent (ethanol, control). Ca2+ mobilization assays were

performed in response to CXCL12 (50 nM, 20 nM and 10 nM). Quantification of Ca2+

flux response (%) is shown. (C-F) BRET titration curves using 293T cells transiently

contransfected with a constant amount of Gαi-Rluc (0.5 µg) and increasing amounts of

CXCR4-YFP (0.15-3.5 µg, C), or CXCR4mut-YFP (0.15-3.5 µg, D), or 5HT2B-YFP as

a negative control (0.15-8.0 µg, E). (F) BRETmax and BRET50 values were calculated by

using a nonlinear regression equation for a single binding-site model and expressed as

mean ± SEM (n=4).

cells were electroporated with CXCR4-YFP, CXCR5-YFP, or CCR7-YFP. Migration of

treated with DMSO (peptides diluent, control), 221TMV- or 239TMVI-biotinylated

peptides (50 µg/ml; 30 min 37ºC, 5% CO2), followed by streptavidin-PE, and membrane

peptide levels analyzed by flow cytometry. (C) Representative flow cytometry analysis

of JK-CD4 transiently transfected with CXCR4wt-AcGFP or with CXCR4mut-AcGFP

(JK-CD4 wt and JK-CD4 mut cells, respectively). (D) CXCL12-induced internalization

of JK-CD4 wt and JK-CD4 mut cells. (E) Jurkat CD4+ cells were electroporated with

CXCR4wt-AcGFP (JKCD4wt) or CXCR4mut-AcGFP (JKCD4mut). SPT-TIRF was

used to analyze the percentage of CXCR4 single particle trajectories classified as

confined, Brownian or directed motion by MSS analysis, on unstimulated or CXCL12-

stimulated cells (steady-state JKCD4wt 192 trajectories from 26 cells; steady-state

JKCD4mut 113 from 14 cells; CXCL12-stimulated JKCD4wt 254 from 24 cells;

CXCL12-stimulated JKCD4mut 227 trajectories from 22 cells; n = 3-5) (not significant,

p >0.05; Chi-square test).
