长度调节驱动纤维-马达混合体的自组织

Length Regulation Drives Self-Organization in Filament-Motor Mixtures

Moritz Striebel, Fridtjof Brauns, Erwin Frey

摘要:

细胞骨架网络形成复杂的细胞内结构。在这里,我们研究了一个极小模型,其中电机作为解聚酶,从而调节灯丝长度的混合物。结合基于代理的模拟和流体动力学方程,我们表明,资源有限的长度调节驱动细丝簇的形成,尽管没有机械细丝之间的相互作用。即使个体的取向保持固定,集体的细丝取向出现在簇中,与它们的界面正交对齐。

英文摘要:

Cytoskeletal networks form complex intracellular structures. Here we investigate a minimal model for filament-motor mixtures in which motors act as depolymerases and thereby regulate filament length. Combining agent-based simulations and hydrodynamic equations, we show that resource-limited length regulation drives the formation of filament clusters despite the absence of mechanical interactions between filaments. Even though the orientation of individual remains fixed, collective filament orientation emerges in the clusters, aligned orthogonal to their interfaces.
