Diffusion-driven self-assembly of emerin nanodomains at the nuclear envelope
Carlos D. Alas, Liying Wu, Fabien Pinaud +1
Emerin, a nuclear membrane protein with important biological roles in mechanotransduction and nuclear shape adaptation, self-assembles into nanometer-size domains at the inner nucl…
Dependence of protein-induced lipid bilayer deformations on protein shape
Carlos D. Alas, Christoph A. Haselwandter
Membrane proteins typically deform the surrounding lipid bilayer membrane, which can play an important role in the function, regulation, and organization of membrane proteins. Memb…
Self-assembly of polyhedral bilayer vesicles from Piezo ion channels
Mingyuan Ma, Christoph A. Haselwandter
Piezo ion channels underlie many forms of mechanosensation in vertebrates, and have been found to bend the membrane into strongly curved dome shapes. We develop here a methodology…
Distribution of randomly diffusing particles in inhomogeneous media
Yiwei Li, Osman Kahraman, Christoph A. Haselwandter
Diffusion can be conceptualized, at microscopic scales, as the random hopping of particles between neighboring lattice sites. In the case of diffusion in inhomogeneous media, disti…
Stochastic lattice model of synaptic membrane protein domains
Yiwei Li, Osman Kahraman, Christoph A. Haselwandter
Neurotransmitter receptor molecules, concentrated in synaptic membrane domains along with scaffolds and other kinds of proteins, are crucial for signal transmission across chemical…
Controlling the shape of membrane protein polyhedra
Di Li, Osman Kahraman, Christoph A. Haselwandter
Membrane proteins and lipids can self-assemble into membrane protein polyhedral nanoparticles (MPPNs). MPPNs have a closed spherical surface and a polyhedral protein arrangement, a…
