在波前冲浪:分子马达驱动的货物粒子的双向运动

Surfing at the wave fronts: the bidirectional movement of cargo particles driven by molecular motors

Daniel Gomes Lichtenthaler, Carla Goldman

摘要:

分子马达蛋白的集体行为已经在文献中使用模型来描述一维连续马达分布的长时间动力学进行了研究。在这里,我们考虑在这些连续运动系统的领域中与粒子(囊泡、细胞器、病毒等)的运输相关的现象。我们认为,货物的运动可能会导致其干扰现有的电机分布和冲浪在所产生的冲击波分离区域内的瞬态制度不同的电机密度的能力。在这种情况下,所观察到的货物运动的双向性自然与冲击方向的逆转有关。比较定量的结果预测该模型与现有数据的货物速度允许我们建议,运输粒子的几何特性应确定的范围和强度的扰动,它产生的,因此,它的动态。这些想法可能的影响,在细胞体的病毒运动进行了讨论与他们的区别形态特征。关键词:分子马达集体效应;货物运输;非线性偏微分方程;冲击波。

英文摘要:

The collective behavior of molecular motor proteins have been investigated in the literature using models to describe the long-time dynamics of a unidimensional continuum motor distribution. Here, we consider the phenomena related to the transport of particles (vesicles, organelles, virus, etc) in the realm of these continuum motor systems. We argue that cargo movement may result from its ability to perturb the existing motor distribution and to surf at the resulting shock waves separating regions of different motor densities within the transient regime. In this case, the observed bidirectionality of cargo movement is naturally associated with reversals of shocks directions. Comparison of the quantitative results predicted by this model with available data for cargo velocity allows us to suggest that geometrical characteristics of the transported particle shall determine the extension and intensity of the perturbation it produces and thus, its dynamics. Possible implications of these ideas to virus movement at the cell body are discussed in connection with their distinguished morphological characteristics. Key words: collective effects of molecular motors; cargo transport; non-linear partial differential equations; shock waves.
