离子通道门控的分数扩散模型

Fractional diffusion modeling of ion channel gating

Igor Goychuk, Peter Hanggi

摘要:

提出了离子通道门控的反常扩散模型。该方案能够描述非指数,幂律分布的停留时间间隔在几种类型的离子通道。我们的方法提出了由Millhauser,Salpeter和Oswald [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85,1503(1988)]到连续的、异常的缓慢构象扩散的情况。相应的推广是来自连续时间随机游走组成的最近邻跳跃,在标度极限的分数扩散方程的结果。所研究的模型只包含三个参数:平均停留时间,构象扩散的特征时间,亚扩散指数。得到了停留时间分布特征函数的解析表达式。在正常扩散的限制情况下,我们先前的研究结果[Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99,3552(2002)]中所描述的。取决于所选择的参数,分数扩散模型表现出非常丰富的行为的停留时间分布与不同的特征时间制度。此外,相应的电导波动的自相关函数显示非平凡的功能。我们的理论模型与大电导钾离子通道的实验数据符合得很好。

英文摘要:

An anomalous diffusion model for ion channel gating is put forward. This scheme is able to describe non-exponential, power-law like distributions of residence time intervals in several types of ion channels. Our method presents a generalization of the discrete diffusion model by Millhauser, Salpeter and Oswald [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85, 1503 (1988)] to the case of a continuous, anomalous slow conformational diffusion. The corresponding generalization is derived from a continuous time random walk composed of nearest neighbor jumps which in the scaling limit results in a fractional diffusion equation. The studied model contains three parameters only: the mean residence time, a characteristic time of conformational diffusion, and the index of subdiffusion. A tractable analytical expression for the characteristic function of the residence time distribution is obtained. In the limiting case of normal diffusion, our prior findings [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 99, 3552 (2002)] are reproduced. Depending on the chosen parameters, the fractional diffusion model exhibits a very rich behavior of the residence time distribution with different characteristic time-regimes. Moreover, the corresponding autocorrelation function of conductance fluctuations displays nontrivial features. Our theoretical model is in good agreement with experimental data for large conductance potassium ion channels.
