Many biological processes rely on protein-membrane interactions in the presence
of mechanical forces, yet high resolution methods to quantify such interactions
are lacking. Here, we describe a single-molecule force spectroscopy approach to
quantify membrane binding of C2 domains in Synaptotagmin-1 (Syt1) and Extended
Synaptotagmin-2 (E-Syt2). Syts and E-Syts bind the plasma membrane via multiple
C2 domains, bridging the plasma membrane with synaptic vesicles or endoplasmic
reticulum to regulate membrane fusion or lipid exchange, respectively. In our
approach, single proteins attached to membranes supported on silica beads are
pulled by optical tweezers, allowing membrane binding and unbinding transitions
to be measured with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. C2 domains from
either protein resisted unbinding forces of 2-7 pN and had binding energies of
4-14 k(B)T per C2 domain. Regulation by bilayer composition or Ca(2+)
recapitulated known properties of both proteins. The method can be widely applied
to study protein-membrane interactions.
