翻转在细丝网络中主动应力产生中的作用

Role of turn-over in active stress generation in a filament network

Tetsuya Hiraiwa, Guillaume Salbreux

摘要:

我们研究了在被动交联剂连接的细丝网络中产生收缩应力的交联剂、马达和细丝的周转率的影响,并受到分子马达施加的力的影响。我们进行了数值模拟,长丝被视为刚性杆和分子马达移动速度快的交联剂交换的时间尺度相比。我们发现,分子马达产生的收缩应力超过临界交联剂的数量。当被动交联剂被允许翻转时,由于簇的形成,由网络施加的应力消失。当细丝和被动交联剂都翻转时,聚集被阻止,网络达到动态收缩稳态。最大应力达到长丝和交联剂周转率的最佳比率。

英文摘要:

We study the effect of turnover of cross linkers, motors and filaments on the generation of a contractile stress in a network of filaments connected by passive crosslinkers and subjected to the forces exerted by molecular motors. We perform numerical simulations where filaments are treated as rigid rods and molecular motors move fast compared to the timescale of exchange of crosslinkers. We show that molecular motors create a contractile stress above a critical number of crosslinkers. When passive crosslinkers are allowed to turn over, the stress exerted by the network vanishes, due to the formation of clusters. When both filaments and passive crosslinkers turn over, clustering is prevented and the network reaches a dynamic contractile steady-state. A maximum stress is reached for an optimum ratio of the filament and crosslinker turnover rates.
