13. 2 (17). The parallel orientation of ΔSN2 in such complexes would bring CFP into proximity not with Venus but with another CFP, possibly favoring nonfluorescent energy transfer between two CFPs. The complex would also hinder the approach of CFP and Venus that might occasionally occur by thermal flexing of unstructured SCORE. Both effects would tend to diminish FRET.

15. All constructs were found not only in the plasma membrane but also inside the cell, especially when strongly overexpressed. However, the proportion of SCORE inside cells did not vary systematically between different SCORE mutants (fig. S1).

20. In the very dimmest cells, autofluorescence resulted in an apparent FRET ratio of 1 with all three probes. At higher probe concentrations, the influence of autofluorescence waned, as documented by the Syx-insensitive probe SCORE ΔSN1, whose FRET values approached those seen under other conditions (Fig. 3, C and F).
