Figure 1 (a) Complete instrumental apparatus assembled around a bright-field inverted microscope. Light from halogen lamp (HL) travels through condenser (C) and illuminates the sample. Objective (O) collects the images, which are captured by analogic camera (aCCD) (25 fps), visualized on control monitor (Mo), and recorded with VCR after image processing (IP). The arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) provides the input signal to high-voltage amplifier (Amp), which drives piezo-element (Pz). Piezo-translator (Pz) is mounted on three-axis micromanipulator (μM1) and sets the vesicle-holding pipette displacement. Aspiration pressure is controlled by adjusting the elevation of a water tank (PT). One bead is held in a pipette that is connected to mechanical micromanipulator μM2. Both μM2 and μM1 are mounted on the stage of the microscope. The second bead is trapped by optical tweezer, which is created by steering light from infrared laser (IR laser) into the microscope via external optics including lenses (L1 and L2), periscope (P), and dichroic mirror (D). (b) Schematic of experimental design. (Top) A vesicle (radius Rv) is aspirated in a pipette (diameter 2Rp). Two tethers were extracted from the vesicle, respectively, with the micromanipulated and the optically trapped bead. Length of the nanotubes is Lt. Tether force, ft, is monitored by optical tracking of the x and y components of bead displacement. In this “V” configuration, the half-angle between both tethers is θ. In the Theory section, we used the notation θ0 for the half-angle between the two radial directions (from the centers of the beads to the center of the vesicle). The vesicle is retracted, which induces a diminution of θ0, down to a value θ0,c when coalescence occurs. (Bottom) when both tethers merge, a “Y” configuration is reached. D and d are the distances that are experimentally measured and will serve for analysis.

Figure 2 Bending rigidity measurements by micropipette aspiration. Semilog plot of tension versus apparent area expansion. Squares are data points obtained for vesicles made from EPC/mPEG-DOPE/DSPE-PEG-biotin (95:4.995:0.005) over tensions from 10−7 to 10−5 N/m using the micropipette aspiration technique. The exponential rise of tension with area expansion reveals the regime dominated by thermal fluctuations. The solid line is a fit using Eq. 2. The slope yields the bending rigidity κ=11.8 kBT. The dashed line corresponds to the hypothetical variation of tension as a function of area expansion for more rigid vesicles (typically in a liquid-ordered state) (κ=70 kBT). Because the low-tension regime is only accessible for area expansion lower than 0.01, direct measurement of κ for liquid-ordered vesicles is not possible by this method.

Figure 3 Extraction of a single-membrane tether using an optical trap. (a) Plots of measured force versus time for fluid (“liquid-disordered”) vesicles made of EPC/mPEG-DOPE/DSPE-PEG-biotin (95:4.995:0.005) (solid curve) and for liquid-ordered vesicles made of BSM/cholesterol/mPEG-DOPE/DSPE-PEG-biotin (47.5:47.5:4.995:0.005) (dotted line). Tube extraction and retraction are recorded consecutively (end of extraction cycle marked by the vertical dashed line). See text for details. (b) Plot of the tether force f as a function of the square root of membrane tension σ averaged over 10 vesicles made of EPC/mPEG-DOPE/DSPE-PEG-biotin (95:4.995:0.005). The variation is linear, as predicted by Eq. 3. The slope of the linear fit (dashed line) yields the bending rigidity: κ=12±1 kBT.

Figure 4 Tether coalescence. (a) Videomicrographs of the experimental arrangement. The vesicle is aspirated in the left pipette. Two beads serve as handles to extrude tethers from the vesicle. A bead held in a pipette is maneuvered with a micromanipulator. The second bead is trapped in a fixed optical tweezer. The upper image shows the “V” configuration, before tube coalescence. The vesicle-holding pipette is retracted until coalescence is triggered. The lower image shows the equilibrium “Y” configuration reached after coalescence. Scale bar is 5μm. (b) Plot of the coalescence angle, θc, versus membrane tension for two fluid vesicles (EPC/mPEG-DOPE/DSPE-PEG-biotin (95:4.995:0.005)) of different radii (open squares, R0=13μm; solid squares, R0=7.5μm). (c) Typical temporal evolution of the tether force during tubes extraction and coalescence (marked by asterisk symbol). The vesicle was made from EPC/mPEG-DOPE/DSPE-PEG-biotin (95:4.995:0.005) and aspirated at σ=5×10−5 N/m. The inset shows the x and y components of the tether force, as derived from the x-y optical tracking of the bead position. The drop in fx and the increase in fy reflect the sudden change in tether orientation after coalescence. The overall tether force after coalescence, ft=fx2+fy2, is the same as before coalescence because the membrane tension is set constant by micropipette aspiration.

Figure 5 (a) Qualitative profile of a membrane deformed by the extraction of a tether of radius Rt with a force ft. The angle φ denotes the absolute angle between the membrane surface and a plane perpendicular to the tether axis, which is located at a distance r. (b) Notations defining the relevant geometric parameters. D and d are the experimentally measured distances that allow us to calculate the angle θ and the half-separation s between vesicle-tether junctions. θ0 and s0 are the corresponding angle and half-separation in the absence of any surface mediated interaction. Rv is the vesicle radius. Biophysical Journal 2005 88, 2714-2726DOI: (10.1529/biophysj.104.056473) Copyright © 2005 The Biophysical Society Terms and Conditions

Figure 6 Plot of ft/(πRvθ0,c2) (solid squares) and ft×(Rvθ0,c2/8π) (open circles) versus membrane tension for vesicles made from EPC/mPEG-DOPE/DSPE-PEG-biotin (95:4.995:0.005). Note that Rv was actually corrected by a geometric factor, (1+Rv/Lt), which is not negligible for tubes that are not much longer than the size of the vesicle (see Theory section for details); ft is the tether force at coalescence. As expected from Eqs. 15 and 16, ft/(πRvθ0,c2) yields σ, whereas ft×(Rvθ0,c2/8π) represents κ.
