Kinesin-driven de-mixing of cytoskeleton composites drives emergent mechanical properties
Janet Sheung, Christopher Gunter, Katarina Matic +5
The cytoskeleton is an active composite of filamentous proteins that dictates diverse mechanical properties and processes in eukaryotic cells by generating forces and autonomously…
DNA transport is topologically sculpted by active microtubule dynamics
Dylan P. McCuskey, Raisa E. Achiriloaie, Claire Benjamin +6
The transport of macromolecules, such as DNA, through the cytoskeleton is critical to wide-ranging cellular processes from cytoplasmic streaming to transcription. The rigidity and…
Motor-driven advection competes with crowding to drive spatiotemporally heterogeneous transport in cytoskeleton composites
Janet Y Sheung, Jonathan Garamella, Stella K Kahl +3
The cytoskeleton -- a composite network of biopolymers, molecular motors, and associated binding proteins -- is a paradigmatic example of active matter. Particle transport through…
Active restructuring of cytoskeleton composites leads to increased mechanical stiffness, memory, and heterogeneity
Janet Y. Sheung, Daisy H. Achiriloaie, Karthik Peddireddy +5
The composite cytoskeleton, comprising interacting networks of semiflexible actin and rigid microtubules, actively generates forces and restructures using motor proteins such as my…
