Elongated Membrane Zones Boost Interactions of Diffusing Proteins
Biological membranes are two dimensional, making the discovery of quasi-one-dimensional diffusion of membrane proteins puzzling. Jaqaman et al. (2011) now show that actomyosin and tubulin interact to establish long, thin diffusion corridors, thereby increasing the effective concentration of select membrane proteins to promote their interactions and modulate signaling.
متن کاملTheory and simulations of adhesion receptor dimerization on membrane surfaces.
The equilibrium constants of trans and cis dimerization of membrane bound (2D) and freely moving (3D) adhesion receptors are expressed and compared using elementary statistical-thermodynamics. Both processes are mediated by the binding of extracellular subdomains whose range of motion in the 2D environment is reduced upon dimerization, defining a thin reaction shell where dimer formation and di...
متن کاملInteractions between Membrane Inclusions on Fluctuating Membranes
We model membrane proteins as anisotropic objects characterized by symmetric-traceless tensors and determine the coupling between these orderparameters and membrane curvature. We consider the interactions 1) between transmembrane proteins that respect up-down (reflection) symmetry of bilayer membranes and that have circular or non-circular cross-sectional areas in the tangent-plane of membranes...
متن کاملA multi-species exchange model for fully fluctuating polymer field theory simulations.
Field-theoretic models have been used extensively to study the phase behavior of inhomogeneous polymer melts and solutions, both in self-consistent mean-field calculations and in numerical simulations of the full theory capturing composition fluctuations. The models commonly used can be grouped into two categories, namely, species models and exchange models. Species models involve integrations ...
متن کاملon translation of politeness strategies in dialogues involving female characters in translations and retranslations of novels translated before and after the islamic revolution of iran and their effects on the image of women: a polysystem theory approach
abstract reception environment has considerable effects on accepting a translation. as the expectations of a target culture and its values and needs change throughout history, its criteria for accepting a translation or rejecting it will change accordingly (gentzler, 2001). the expectations of iran, as the reception environment in the present study, have changed after the islamic revolution. i...
