Nucleosome sliding can influence the spreading of histone modifications
Shantanu Kadam, Tripti Bameta, Ranjith Padinhateeri
Nucleosomes are the fundamental building blocks of chromatin that not only help in the folding of chromatin but also in carrying epigenetic information. It is known that nucleosome…
Heterogeneous interactions and polymer entropy decide organization and dynamics of chromatin domains
Kiran Kumari, J. Ravi Prakash, Ranjith Padinhateeri
Chromatin is known to be organized into multiple domains of varying sizes and compaction. While these domains are often imagined as static structures, they are highly dynamic and s…
High fidelity epigenetic inheritance: Information theoretic model predicts -threshold filling of histone modifications post replication
Nithya Ramakrishnan, Sibi Raj B Pillai, Ranjith Padinhateeri
Beyond the genetic code, there is another layer of information encoded as chemical modifications on histone proteins positioned along the DNA. Maintaining these modifications is cr…
Computing 3D chromatin configurations from contact probability maps by Inverse Brownian Dynamics
K. Kumari, B. Duenweg, R. Padinhateeri +1
The three-dimensional organization of chromatin, on the length scale of a few genes, is crucial in determining the functional state - accessibility and the amount of gene expressio…
Universality of the collapse transition of sticky polymers
Aritra Santra, Kiran Kumari, R. Padinhateeri +2
The universality of the swelling of the radius of gyration of a homopolymer relative to its value in the state, independent of polymer-solvent chemistry, in the crossover regim…
Sufficient conditions for the additivity of stall forces generated by multiple filaments or motors
Tripti Bameta, Dipjyoti Das, Dibyendu Das +2
Molecular motors and cytoskeletal filaments work collectively most of the time under opposing forces. This opposing force may be due to cargo carried by motors or resistance coming…
Force-induced dynamical properties of multiple cytoskeletal filaments are distinct from that of single filaments
Dipjyoti Das, Dibyendu Das, Ranjith Padinhateeri
How cytoskeletal filaments collectively undergo growth and shrinkage is an intriguing question. Collective properties of multiple bio-filaments (actin or microtubules) undergoing h…
Collective force generated by multiple biofilaments can exceed the sum of forces due to individual ones
Dipjyoti Das, Dibyendu Das, Ranjith Padinhateeri
Collective dynamics and force generation by cytoskeletal filaments are crucial in many cellular processes. Investigating growth dynamics of a bundle of N independent cytoskeletal f…
The random release of phosphate controls the dynamic instability of microtubules
Ranjith Padinhateeri, Anatoly B. Kolomeisky, David Lacoste
A simple stochastic model which describes microtubule dynamics and explicitly takes into account the relevant biochemical processes is presented. The model incorporates binding and…
