Dynamic binding of PH-GFP and PI-4,5-P2 and postfusion labeling of the secretory granule membrane. PH-GFP reversibly binds to PI-4,5-P2. The stable labeling of the fused granule membrane by PH-GFP probably reflects diffusion of PI-4,5-P2, bound or unbound to PH-GFP, with simultaneous association and dissociation of PH-GFP and PI-4,5-P2. The left and right side of the fusion pore depict diffusion of PH-GFP/PI-4,5-P2 or unbound PI-4,5-P2, respectively. De novo synthesis of PI-4,5-P2 on the fused granule membrane (see text) would also enhance PH-GFP binding.
