RNA病毒装配动力学的生成树模型

The Spanning Tree Model for the Assembly Kinetics of RNA Viruses

Inbal Mizrahi, Robijn Bruinsma, Joseph Rudnick

摘要:

我们提出了一个简单的动力学模型的小单链RNA病毒,可用于进行分析包装不同类型的RNA分子之间的竞争组装。RNA的选择机制是纯粹的动力学和基于组装能量分布之间的微小差异。赢得这些包装竞赛的RNA分子的特征在于具有最小的“最大阶梯距离”和最大的“包裹数”。前者是测量基因组分子的“分支性”的拓扑不变量,而后者测量基因组分子与衣壳蛋白最大结合的能力。该模型还可以用于研究成核和生长理论对病毒组装的适用性,病毒组装随着RNA-蛋白质相互作用强度的增加而破裂。

英文摘要:

We present a simple kinetic model for the assembly of small single-stranded RNA viruses that can be used to carry out analytical packaging contests between different types of RNA molecules. The RNA selection mechanism is purely kinetic and based on small differences between the assembly energy profiles. RNA molecules that win these packaging contests are characterized by having a minimum "Maximum Ladder Distance" and a maximum "Wrapping Number".The former is a topological invariant that measures the "branchiness" of the genome molecule while the latter measures the ability of the genome molecule to maximally associate with the capsid proteins. The model can also be used study the applicability of the theory of nucleation and growth to viral assembly, which breaks down with increasing strength of the RNA-protein interaction.
