Snare machinery is optimized for ultrafast fusion
Fabio Manca, Frederic Pincet, Lev Truskinovsky +3
SNARE proteins zipper to form SNAREpins that power vesicle fusion with target membranes in a variety of biological processes. A single SNAREpin takes about 1 second to fuse two bil…
Theory of cargo and membrane trafficking
Lionel Foret, Lutz Brusch, Frank Jülicher
Endocytosis underlies many cellular functions including signaling and nutrient uptake. The endocytosed cargo gets redistributed across a dynamic network of endosomes undergoing fus…
Comparing open and closed molecular self-assembly
Martin Castelnovo, Timothée Verdier, Lionel Foret
We study theoretically in the present work the self-assembly of molecules in an open system, which is fed by monomers and depleted in partial or complete clusters. Such a scenario…
Kinetic regulation of coated vesicle secretion
Lionel Foret, Pierre Sens
The secretion of vesicles for intracellular transport often rely on the aggregation of specialized membrane-bound proteins into a coat able to curve cell membranes. The nucleation…
Charged inclusion in nematic liquid crystals
Lionel Foret, Akira Onuki
We present a general theory of liquid crystals under inhomogeneous electric field in a Ginzburg-Landau scheme. The molecular orientation can be deformed by electric field when the…
Electric-field induced capillary interaction of charged particles at a polar interface
Lionel Foret, Alois Würger
We study the electric-field induced capillary interaction of charged particles at a polar interface. The algebraic tails of the electrostatic pressure of each charge results in a d…
