Supplementary Information

This file contains Supplementary Methods, Supplementary Data, Supplementary Figures S1-S10 with Legends and Supplementary References.

Supplementary Movie 1

This Movie shows the Rac1 activation measured using the FRET/CyPet ratio to monitor interaction between Rac1 and the p21-binding domain from PAK1 (see Figs. 1a, S1a). Left panel: corresponding time points imaged by DIC. Frame interval: 10 s. Replay: 10 frames/s. Duration of original sequence: 20 min. Magnification 40x, 2x2 binning. Scale bar: 20 microm. Colour-bar defines the dynamic range of the corrected FRET/CyPet ratio.

Supplementary Movie 2

This Movie shows the zoom of the protrusive region of Movie 1. This sector of the cell edge is analyzed in Fig. 2.

Supplementary Movie 3

This Movie shows the Cdc42 activation measured using the meroCBD biosensor (see Figs. 1b, S1b). Left panel: corresponding time points imaged by DIC. Frame interval: 10 s. Duration of original sequence: 13 min. Replay: 10 frames/s. Magnification 40x, 2x2 binning. Scale bar: 20 microm. Colour-bar defines the dynamic range of the merocyanine dye/EGFP ratio.

Supplementary Movie 4

This Movie shows the zoom of the protrusive region of Movie 3. This sector of the cell edge is analyzed in Fig. 2.

Supplementary Movie 5

This Movie shows the RhoA activation measured using the single chain, intramolecular FRET biosensor (see Figs. 1c, S1c). Left panel: corresponding time points imaged by DIC. Frame interval: 10 s. Replay: 10 frames/s. Duration of original sequence: 10 min. Magnification 40x, 2x2 binning. Scale bar: 20 microm. Colour-bar defines the dynamic range of the FRET/CFP ratio.

Supplementary Movie 6

This Movie shows the zoom of the protrusive region of Movie 5. This sector of the cell edge is analyzed in Fig. 2.

Supplementary Movie 7

This Movie shows sampling windows of 1.8 microm width and 0.9 microm depth placed at 0 microm and 2.5 microm from the edge follow the cell morphology. Windows are overlaid on the time lapse sequence shown in Movie 4. Frame interval: 10s. Replay: 10 frames/s.

Supplementary Movie 8

This Movie shows the RhoA activation measured using the intermolecular dual chain FRET biosensor (see Figs. S1d, S10). Frame interval: 10 s. Replay: 10 frames/s. Magnification 40x, 2x2 binning. Scale bar: 20 microm. Colour-bar defines the dynamic range of the corrected FRET/CyPet ratio.

Supplementary Movie 9

This Movie shows the zoomed view of protrusion and retraction activity of a randomly migrating MEF imaged simultaneously using Cdc42 and RhoA biosensors (see Fig. S7 for snapshots of the full view time sequence). Frame interval: 10s. Replay: 10 frames/s. Magnification 40x, 2x2 binning. Scale-bar: 15 microm. Colour-bar defines the dynamic range of the Cdc42 and RhoA signals.
