Peptide 1D4 (TETSQVAPA) was synthesized at the Keck Biotechnology Resource Laboratory at Yale University. Two fluorescently labeled peptides, GLP-1-(7–37) and Ex-4, were also obtained from there with the E21K and L21K mutations, respectively for lysine conjugation with 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (FAM). The following materials were purchased from indicated sources: peptide GLP-1-(7–37) from GL Biochem (Shanghai) Ltd; Ex-4 from Abcam; BODIPY-FL-GTPγS from Invitrogen; 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) from Avanti Polar Lipids; n-dodecyl-β-D-maltopyranoside (DDM) from Anatrace; Bio-Beads SM-2 from Bio-Rad; and Rho 1D4 purified monoclonal antibody from University of British Columbia. The antibody was coupled to UltraLink Hydrazide resin purchased from Thermo Scientific [36 (link), 37 (link)]. All other chemicals were analytical grade obtained from Sigma or American Biochemicals. Membrane scaffold protein (MSP1E3D1) was expressed and purified as described previously [33 , 35 (link)].
