Memory in receptor-ligand-mediated cell adhesion.
Single-molecule biomechanical measurements, such as the force to unfold a protein domain or the lifetime of a receptor-ligand bond, are inherently stochastic, thereby requiring a large number of data for statistical analysis. Sequentially repeated tests are generally used to obtain a data ensemble, implicitly assuming that the test sequence consists of independent and identically distributed (i...
متن کاملEquilibrium thermodynamics of cell-cell adhesion mediated by multiple ligand-receptor pairs.
In many situations, cell-cell adhesion is mediated by multiple ligand-receptor pairs. For example, the interaction between T cells and antigen-presenting cells of the immune system is mediated not only by T cell receptors and their ligands (peptide-major histocompatibility complex) but also by binding of intracellular adhesion molecules. Interestingly, these binding pairs have different resting...
متن کاملRab11 is required for maintenance of cell shape via βPS integrin mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila
In eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric GTPases of the Rab protein family. Rab11, (a subfamily of the Ypt/Rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric Rab GTPases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. In an earlier communication, we have shown th...
متن کاملSurface deformation and shear flow in ligand mediated cell adhesion.
We present a unified, multiscale model to study the attachment/detachment dynamics of two deforming, charged, near spherical cells, coated with binding ligands and subject to a slow, homogeneous shear flow in a viscous, ionic fluid medium. The binding ligands on the surface of the cells experience both attractive and repulsive forces in an ionic medium and exhibit finite resistance to rotation ...
متن کاملLigand-Induced Cell Adhesion in Synapse Formation
Construction of the neural netwoks depends largely on precise contacts between neurons and non-neuronal cells. Numerous studies have described different types of adhesive interactions between cells in the nervous system. These include adhesive contacts between neural cell bodies, axonal attachments to glial cells, axon fasciculation, connection between preand postsynaptic specializations as wel...
