肌动蛋白丝生长对障碍与波动的形状

Actin filaments growing against a barrier with fluctuating shape

Raj Kumar Sadhu, Sakuntala Chatterjee

摘要:

我们研究力的产生由一组平行的肌动蛋白丝生长对非刚性障碍物,在存在的外部负载。这些细丝要么移动整个障碍物,消耗大量的能量,要么在其形状中引起局部变形,消耗少得多的能量。非刚性障碍物也有局部的热波动,由于它的形状可以随时间而变化,我们描述了这一点,使用波动的一维界面的高度轮廓与Kardar-Parisi-Zhang动力学。我们发现势垒的形状起伏强烈地影响力的产生机制。力-速度曲线的定性性质主要由细丝和屏障动力学的相对时间尺度决定。障碍物的高度轮廓也显示出有趣的变化与外部负载。我们的平均场理论的分析计算与我们的模拟结果显示出合理的协议。

英文摘要:

We study force generation by a set of parallel actin filaments growing against a non-rigid obstacle, in presence of an external load. The filaments polymerize by either moving the whole obstacle, with a large energy cost, or by causing local distortion in its shape which costs much less energy. The non-rigid obstacle also has local thermal fluctuations due to which its shape can change with time and we describe this using fluctuations in the height profile of a one dimensional interface with Kardar-Parisi-Zhang dynamics. We find the shape fluctuations of the barrier strongly affects the force generation mechanism. The qualitative nature of the force-velocity curve is crucially determined by the relative time-scale of filament and barrier dynamics. The height profile of the barrier also shows interesting variation with the external load. Our analytical calculation within mean-field theory shows reasonable agreement with our simulation results.
