SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS
Pull-down assay. GST-MYO was incubated with full length recombinant human FAK
(FL-FAK) (Biosource, USA), phosphorylated FL-FAK with ATP (purity > 95%,
Sigma-Aldrich), FL-FAK with ATP and PF 573228 (purity > 95%, Sigma-Aldrich) His-
FERM-WT or His-FERM mutants as indicated (see results). GST-FERM, GST-
KINASE or GST-cTERM was incubated with the myosin fragment or total extracts
from NRVMs. GST-FERM was also incubated with the mutant of the myosin sequence
(MYO-MUT). The precipitated pellets from the various assays were resolved on SDS-
PAGE and the membranes immunoblotted with anti-myosin heavy chain (Abcam), anti-
FAK-c-20 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-FAK-A17 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or
anti-6his-tag antibodies (Abcam) antibodies. His-pull-down was performed with His-
FERM previously purified linked by affinity in nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid-agarose
(Qiagen) metal affinity beads and then incubated with extract from adult
cardiomyocytes. The proteins that remained linked to the pellet were identified by liquid
chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis as previously
described1.
In vitro kinase assay. Experiments were performed with FL-FAK (3 µg) incubated with
recombinant GST-MYO (1:1, 2:1 or 4: 1 molar ratios) or GST (1:1 molar ratio) at 37oC
for 4 hours. Kinase buffer (4.5 µL) and ATP (100 µM) were added to the mixture. The
protein was applied on a nitrocellulose membrane that was incubated with an anti-
pFAK-Try 397 antibody (Invitrogen) and [I125] Protein A.
Myosin binding assay. Purified myosin was resuspended in buffer I (50mM KCl, 5mM
NaH2PO4, pH 7.0) and 0.5-2.0µg of this solution was spotted onto nitrocellulose
Nature Chemical Biology: doi:10.1038/nchembio.717
membrane strips. The individual strips were incubated with distinct constructs
(GST-FERM, GST-KINASE, GST-cTERM) or GST. The strips were incubated with
monoclonal anti-GST, anti-FAK N-terminal or anti-FAK C-terminal antibodies (Santa
Cruz Biotechnology) and with 5µCi [I125] Protein A (30µCi/µg).
Myosin purification. Cardiac myosin was extracted and purified from neonatal rat
ventricles, according to a previously described protocol2.
SAXS analysis. The measurements were performed with a monochromatic X-ray beam
with a wavelength of λ=1.488A. The X-ray patterns were recorded using a two-
dimensional position-sensitive MARCCD detector. Two sample-to-detector distances
were used: 1661.38 mm and 446.53 mm, which cover a scattering vector range of
0.008Å-1<q <0.40 A-1, where q is the magnitude of the qr -vector defined by
( ) θλπ sin4=q (where 2θ is the scattering angle). Three measurements were carried
out using two different sample concentrations in buffer (20 mM sodium phosphate pH
7,4; 150 mM NaCl, 1mM DTT) 0.4 mg/mL and 0.1 mg/mL. The radius of gyration (Rg)
was calculated from the Guinier approximation (valid for qRg < 1.3)3-5 and also from the
pair distance distribution function, p(r), which was obtained using the program GNOM6.
The maximum dimension (Dmax) of the molecule was obtained from the p(r) function.
Cell culture. Primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs, 1- to 2-
day-old Wistar rats) were prepared as previously described7. The animals were handled
in compliance with the principles of laboratory of animal care formulated by the
university’s Animal Care and Use Committee. The NRVMs were plated in Bioflex
plates for stretch or in Petri plates (25 mm). NRVMs cultured in Bioflex plates were
Nature Chemical Biology: doi:10.1038/nchembio.717
stretched in a Flexercell FX-3000 strain unit to 10% of their resting length at a
frequency of 1 Hz (0.5-s stretch/0.5-s relaxation) for variable periods of time (10, 30
and 60 minutes)7.
siRNA synthesis and transfection protocol. siRNAs targeted to rat FAK, rat Myosin
or to GFP were designed, synthesized, and transfected into NRVMs as previously
reported30. The primers used to synthesis of the siRNAs sequences were displayed in
Supplementary Table 1.
Cell size analyses. For the analyses of cell surface area, NRVMs cultures were fixed
and immunostained with phalloidin and the nuclei were identified using DAPI. Cell
surface area was obtained by the analyses of individual cardiomyocytes with the Leica
Q Win software as previously described30.
Immunoprecipitation. NRVMs homogenized in lysis buffer were normalized and
incubated with anti-FAK-c20 polyclonal (Invitrogen) or with anti-Myc-tag antibodies
(Abcam) and proteins collected after addition of 20 µL of protein A-Sepharose beads
(GE Healthcare). Western blots of the immunoprecipitates were performed with the
primary anti-cardiac myosin heavy chain (Abcam), anti-FAK-c20, anti-β3 (c-20)
Integrin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-EGFR (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) or anti-
MET (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies. Band intensities were quantified by
optical densitometry.
Western blotting. Cells were washed in cold PBS and scraped into lysis buffer (1%
Triton, 10 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 100 mM NaF, 10 µg/ml aprotinin, 1 mM PMSF,
Nature Chemical Biology: doi:10.1038/nchembio.717
and 0.25 mM Na3VO4). The samples were centrifuged for 20 min at 11,000 g and the
soluble fraction was resuspended in Laemmli loading buffer (2% SDS, 20% glycerol,
0.04 mg/ml bromophenol blue, 0.12 M Tris·HCl, pH 6.8, and 0.28 M β-
mercaptoethanol). Equal amounts of protein (50 µg) from cell lysates were separated by
SDS-PAGE and blotted onto transfer membranes. The membranes were blocked for 1h
using 5% BSA in TBST buffer (10mM Tris, 0.1M NaCl, 0.1% Tween 20, pH 7.4).
Blots were incubated with the primary antibodies in 3% BSA in TBST buffer overnight
at 4 °C with gentle agitation. Following incubation with primary antibody, blots were
washed three times for 5 min each with TBST buffer and incubated with appropriate
horseradish peroxidase-labeled secondary antibodies in 3% BSA in TBST buffer for 1h
at 37°C. Proteins were detected using ECL. Quantification of bands was performed
using ImageJ (Image Processing and Analysis in JAVA-program/ National Institutes of
Health NIH). Signals from phosphoproteins were normalized to the total protein
obtained from blots with specific antibody.
Fluorescence microscopy analysis. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde plus
4% sucrose blocked with 3% BSA plus 0.6% Triton-X 100 at room temperature. Cells
were then incubated with anti-FAK c-20 primary and subsequently with anti-myosin
antibodies and with Alexa488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit and Alexa568-conjugated
goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) at room temperature. Alternatively to
myosin stained, NRVMs were incubated with rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin
(Molecular Probes) at room temperature. Slides were then mounted with Vectashield.
Images were obtained with a Zeiss LSM510 laser confocal or a LEICA A4000
fluorescence microscope.
Nature Chemical Biology: doi:10.1038/nchembio.717
Peptide synthesis. All peptides were synthesized, purified by liquid chromatography-
mass spectroscopy to >95% purity by Peptide Protein Research Ltd (Fareham, United
Kingdom). The peptides FP-1 (EIADQVDQE), FP-1-MUT (AIADAVAQA) and FP-2
(QTIQYSNSEDK) were covalently binding in HiTrap NHS-activated HP column or
used in pull-down assays. For in vivo experiments, cultured cardiomyocytes were
treated with the above peptides conjugated to TAT47-57 carrier through a dissociable
disulfide bond. Fluorescent FP-1 (FLU-FP-1: 5&6 carboxyfluorescein-EIADQVDQE)
and FP-1-TAT (FLU-FP-1-TAT: 5&6 carboxyfluorescein-EIADQVDQEC-SS-
CYGRKKRRQRRR) were used in in vivo experiments to test cell uptake and FLU-FP-1
in in vitro affinity experiments.

Peptide affinity columns. Affinity columns were obtained through covalent binding of
the FP-1, FP-1-MUT and control FP-2 peptides through their N-terminal to the gel of a
HiTrap NHS-activated HP column (1 ml) like previously described8. Extracts from
adult rat left ventricle were incubated with individual peptide columns for 1.5 h at 4 °C.
Columns were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and then with 0.1M
glycine, pH 2.7. Proteins that remained attached were eluted with 0.1 M glycine, pH
2.7, concentrated in centrifugal filter devices (Amicon Ultra; Millipore), and separated
by SDS-PAGE and used for western blotting.
Extraction and detection of intracellular FP-1. Peptide cellular fractions were
obtained by adaptation of a previously described protocol 9. Briefly, NRVMs were
scraped with a Lysis buffer (8 M urea, 75 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, pH 8.2, protease
inhibitors cocktail (Roche) and 1 mM PMSF), sonicated 3× 60 s at 4 °C, centrifuged at
2,500g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was transferred into new tubes and the
proteins were precipitated with cold acetone (1:3). The supernatant was dry by vacuum
centrifugation and resuspended in 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. Peptides were desalted by
reversed phase chromatography using solid-phase extraction cartridges (50 mg of tC18
SepPaks - Waters). The samples (1µM of TAT-FP-1 standard, peptide fraction from
control NRVMs lysates and peptide fraction from TAT-FP-1 treated NRVMs lysates)
were then subjected to MS/MS experiments. UPLC/MS/MS analysis was performed in
a Synapt HDMS instrument (Waters Co.) like described in pull-down assays.
Nature Chemical Biology: doi:10.1038/nchembio.717
Fluorescence Polarization. The FP-1 and FP-1-Mut peptides were synthesized, labeled
and HPLC-purified by Peptide Protein Research Ltd (Fareham, United Kingdom). In
order to analyze myosin-peptide binding affinity, we performed isotherms binding assay
by incubating 5 nM of fluorescein-labeled peptides with unlabeled myosin at
concentrations ranging from 10 nM to 15 µM (concentrations expressed as monomers).
Assay was performed at 20°C in 200 mM NaCl, 50 mM tris pH 8.0, 3 mM
dithiothreitol, 5% glycerol. Myosin-FP-1 binding assays were analyzed assuming
simple two-state reversible equilibrium between two species. The polarization binding
assay of Myosin with the FP-1 peptide was performed in PekinElmer EnVision
multilabel reader (PekinElmer). Excitation was set to 480 nm and emission at 535 nm,
according to equipment filters. Polarization values (P) were calculated according to the
equation:
P= 1000*(Is – G *Ip)/(Is + G * Ip) (1)
Where I refers to the measured fluorescence intensity, and indices s and p are the
position of the different excitation polarizers, and G is a correction factor, which takes
into account differences in sensitivity in the two directions Is and Ip according to:
G = Is/ Ip (2)
All fluorescence polarization data shown in this study are an average of at least
three independent experiments, performed with different protein batches and on
different days. For each sample, polarization was measured until absolute errors were
less than 0.002. As specificity control, FP-1-MUT peptide was incubated with myosin
in the same condition, and no binding was observed.
Quantitative analysis of binding equilibrium. Myosin-FP-1 interaction isotherms
were analyzed by Model-independent binding assuming a simple two-state reversible
Nature Chemical Biology: doi:10.1038/nchembio.717
equilibrium. The dissociation constant Kd of the above reaction can be described
according to:
Kd = (D*M)/MD (3),
where D is the molar concentration of the FP-1, M is the molar concentration of the free
Myosin, and MD is the molar concentration of the complex formed between FP-1 and
Myosin. The complex is related to the polarization measurements by:
MD = Dt*α (4),
and
α = (Pobs - Pi)/(Pf - Pi) (5),
where α is the fraction of bound myosin, Pobs is the observed polarization at total
monomeric protein concentration M, and Pi and Pf are, respectively, the lower and upper
asymptotic limits for polarization values obtained by fitting the curves. Then, it follows
that:
Pobs = Pi + (Pf - Pi)*{[(M + n)/(k n)]/ [1+(Mn/kn)]} (6),
where n is the Hill cooperativity coefficient. No corrections were applied to quantum
yields since no significant changes in fluorescence intensity occurred (fluorescence
intensity near 600,000). The data were fitted using nonlinear least-squares regression
analysis contained within SigmaPlot 2006 (Version 10.0, Jandel Scientific Co.).
Quantification of mRNAs. Total RNA was isolated from extracts of NRVMs as
previously described10. For mRNA quantification, target genes expression was analyzed
by Sybr Green qRT-PCR (Stratagene). The reactions were performed using the SYBR
Green (with Dissociation Curve) program on the Mx3000TM Comparative Quantitative
PCR System (Stratagene). The oligonucleotides used were FAK sense: 5’-

normalization. The median cycle threshold value was used for analysis, and all cycle
threshold values were normalized to the GAPDH mRNA expression level.
