abstract = {Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based tension
sensor modules (TSMs) are available for investigating how
distinct proteins bear mechanical forces in cells. Yet,
forces in the single piconewton (pN) regime remain difficult
to resolve, and tools for multiplexed tension sensing are
lacking. Here, we report the generation and calibration of a
genetically encoded, FRET-based biosensor called FL-TSM,
which is characterized by a near-digital force response and
increased sensitivity at 3–5 pN. In addition, we present a
method allowing the simultaneous evaluation of coexpressed
tension sensor constructs using two-color fluorescence
lifetime microscopy. Finally, we introduce a procedure to
calculate the fraction of mechanically engaged molecules
within cells. Application of these techniques to new talin
biosensors reveals an intramolecular tension gradient across
talin-1 that is established upon integrin-mediated cell
adhesion. The tension gradient is actomyosin- and
vinculin-dependent and sensitive to the rigidity of the
extracellular environment.},
