进行性分子马达货物运输的随机模拟

Stochastic simulations of cargo transport by processive molecular motors

Christian B. Korn, Stefan Klumpp, Reinhard Lipowsky, Ulrich S. Schwarz

摘要:

我们使用随机计算机模拟研究运输的球形货物颗粒沿着微管样的轨道上的平面基板上的几个驱动蛋白样的加工马达。我们新开发的粘合剂电机动力学算法结合了数值积分的朗之万方程的运动与动力学规则的分子马达的球。朗之万部分包括扩散运动、牵引马达的作用以及球与壁之间的流体动力学相互作用。电机的动力学规则包括绑定到灯丝和从灯丝解除绑定以及主动电机步骤。我们发现,模拟的平均运输长度呈指数增长与绑定电机的数量,与早期的结果吻合得很好。对于用作连接器力学模型的弹簧和电缆,在电机轨道的绑定范围内的电机数量随时间波动,具有泊松分布。只有在粘度和附着时间高的情况下,才会出现在相等载荷分担意义上的协同性。

英文摘要:

We use stochastic computer simulations to study the transport of a spherical cargo particle along a microtubule-like track on a planar substrate by several kinesin-like processive motors. Our newly developed adhesive motor dynamics algorithm combines the numerical integration of a Langevin equation for the motion of a sphere with kinetic rules for the molecular motors. The Langevin part includes diffusive motion, the action of the pulling motors, and hydrodynamic interactions between sphere and wall. The kinetic rules for the motors include binding to and unbinding from the filament as well as active motor steps. We find that the simulated mean transport length increases exponentially with the number of bound motors, in good agreement with earlier results. The number of motors in binding range to the motor track fluctuates in time with a Poissonian distribution, both for springs and cables being used as models for the linker mechanics. Cooperativity in the sense of equal load sharing only occurs for high values for viscosity and attachment time.
