Micron-scale plasma membrane curvature is recognized by the septin cytoskeleton
Cells change shape in response to diverse environmental and developmental conditions, creating topologies with micron-scale features. Although individual proteins can sense nanometer-scale membrane curvature, it is unclear if a cell could also use nanometer-scale components to sense micron-scale contours, such as the cytokinetic furrow and base of neuronal branches. Septins are filament-forming...
متن کامل3D reconstruction of mammalian septin filaments.
Mammalian septins are a family of guanosine triphosphate-binding proteins thought to play a role in a number of key cellular processes, such as cytokinesis, protein scaffolding and vesicle trafficking. Although their precise functions remain to be determined, electron microscopy has shown septin filament formation in vitro and a role as a cytoskeletal polymer has been proposed. Here, we present...
متن کاملSelf assembly of human septin 2 into amyloid filaments.
Septins are a conserved group of GTP-binding proteins that form hetero-oligomeric complexes which assemble into filaments. These are essential for septin function, including their role in cytokinesis, cell division, exocytosis and membrane trafficking. Septin 2 (SEPT2) is a member of the septin family and has been associated with neurofibrillary tangles and other pathological features of senile...
متن کاملDiffusion-Generated Motion by Mean Curvature for Filaments
In previous work, we introduced a simple algorithm for producing motion by mean curvature of a surface, in which the motion is generated by alternately diiusing and renormalizing a characteristic function. This procedure is interesting due to its extreme simplicity, and because it isolates the connection between diiusion and curvature motion. However, it makes sense only for surfaces, i.e. obje...
متن کاملMreB filaments align along greatest principal membrane curvature to orient cell wall synthesis
MreB is essential for rod shape in many bacteria. Membrane-associated MreB filaments move around the rod circumference, helping to insert cell wall in the radial direction to reinforce rod shape. To understand how oriented MreB motion arises, we altered the shape of Bacillus subtilis. MreB motion is isotropic in round cells, and orientation is restored when rod shape is externally imposed. Stat...
