Here, we study the homodimerization of the transmembrane domain of Neu, as well as an oncogenic mutant (V664E), in vesicles derived from the plasma membrane of mammalian cells. For the characterization, we use a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based method termed Quantitative Imaging-FRET (QI-FRET), which yields the donor and acceptor concentrations in addition to the FRET efficiencies in individual plasma membrane-derived vesicles. Our results demonstrate that both the wild-type and the mutant are 100% dimeric, suggesting that the Neu TM helix dimerizes more efficiently than other RTK TM domains in mammalian membranes. Furthermore, the data suggest that the V664E mutation causes a very small, but statistically significant change in dimer structure.
