摘要:

我们求解了一个模拟细胞核受限几何结构内的活性染色质动力学流体模型。结合解析与数值方法,我们描述了由具有极性对称性的马达活性驱动的染色质聚合物的行为,涵盖线性响应区域以及流动的长期完全非线性区域。边界的引入为染色质流动赋予了特殊几何形态,我们采用矢量球谐函数来描述这一形态,该工具极大简化了我们的解析与数值研究方法。我们发现,该模型在受限空间中的长期行为由围绕球形区域循环的稳定横向染色质流动主导。这些循环流动对扰动具有鲁棒性,其特征尺寸由区域大小决定。这一发现为我们深入理解细胞核内的活性染色质动力学提供了新视角,并为开发更复杂的活性染色质动力学模型奠定了基础。

英文摘要:

We solve a hydrodynamic model of active chromatin dynamics, within a confined geometry simulating the cell nucleus. Using both analytical and numerical methods, we describe the behavior of the chromatin polymer driven by the activity of motors having polar symmetry, both in the linear response regime as well as in the long-term, fully nonlinear regime of the flows. The introduction of a boundary induces a particular geometry in the flows of chromatin, which we describe using vector spherical harmonics, a tool which greatly simplifies both our analytical and numerical approaches. We find that the long-term behavior of this model in confinement is dominated by steady, transverse flows of chromatin which circulate around the spherical domain. These circulating flows are found to be robust to perturbations, and their characteristic size is set by the size of the domain. This gives us further insight into active chromatin dynamics in the cell nucleus, and provides a foundation for development of further, more complex models of active chromatin dynamics.
