定量蛋白质扩散和细丝上的捕获

Quantifying protein diffusion and capture on filaments

Emanuel Reithmann, Louis Reese, Erwin Frey

摘要:

调节蛋白的功能相关性通常限于特定的结合位点,如微管或肌动蛋白丝的末端。蛋白质在这些功能位点上的定位是非常重要的。我们提出了一个定量的理论扩散和捕获过程中,蛋白质扩散的细丝和停止扩散时,到达细丝的结束。研究发现,一维扩散后的末端缔合是这类蛋白质尖端定位的主要来源。因此,扩散和捕获在提高酶促反应的反应速度方面是非常有效的,其中蛋白质和细丝末端彼此作为酶和底物。我们表明,反应速度可以有效地描述在Michaelis-Menten框架内。一维扩散和捕获一起击败了(三维)Smoluchowski扩散限制蛋白质与细丝末端结合的速率。

英文摘要:

The functional relevance of regulating proteins is often limited to specific binding sites such as the ends of microtubules or actin-filaments. A localization of proteins on these functional sites is of great importance. We present a quantitative theory for a diffusion and capture process, where proteins diffuse on a filament and stop diffusing when reaching the filament's end. It is found that end-association after one-dimensional diffusion is the main source for tip-localization of such proteins. As a consequence, diffusion and capture is highly efficient in enhancing the reaction velocity of enzymatic reactions, where proteins and filament ends are to each other as enzyme and substrate. We show that the reaction velocity can effectively be described within a Michaelis-Menten framework. Together one-dimensional diffusion and capture beats the (three-dimensional) Smoluchowski diffusion limit for the rate of protein association to filament ends.
