The recruitment of actin regulators, such as ENA/VASP proteins, to sites of protrusion underlies diverse molecular mechanisms of filopodia formation and extension. We developed Filopodyan (filopodia dynamics analysis) in Fiji and R to measure fluorescence in filopodia and at their tips and bases concurrently with their morphological and dynamic properties. Filopodyan supports high-throughput phenotype characterization as well as detailed interactive editing of filopodia reconstructions through an intuitive graphical user interface. Our highly customizable pipeline is widely applicable, capable of detecting filopodia in four different cell types in vitro and in vivo. We use Filopodyan to quantify the recruitment of ENA and VASP preceding filopodia formation in neuronal growth cones, and uncover a molecular heterogeneity whereby different filopodia display markedly different responses to changes in the accumulation of ENA and VASP fluorescence in their tips over time. date: 2017-10-02 date_type: published official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201705113 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub pmcid: PMC5626553 language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Journal Article verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1585445 doi: 10.1083/jcb.201705113 pii: jcb.201705113 lyricists_name: Livesey, Frederick lyricists_id: FLIVE31 actors_name: Bracey, Alan actors_id: ABBRA90 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Cell Biology volume: 216 number: 10 pagerange: 3405-3422 event_location: United States issn: 1540-8140 citation: Urbančič, V; Butler, R; Richier, B; Peter, M; Mason, J; Livesey, FJ; Holt, CE; Urbančič, V; Butler, R; Richier, B; Peter, M; Mason, J; Livesey, FJ; Holt, CE; Gallop, JL; - view fewer <#> (2017) Filopodyan: An open-source pipeline for the analysis of filopodia.
