Comparison of explicit and mean-field models of cytoskeletal filaments with crosslinking motors
Adam R. Lamson, Jeffrey M. Moore, Fang Fang +3
In cells, cytoskeletal filament networks are responsible for cell movement, growth, and division. Filaments in the cytoskeleton are driven and organized by crosslinking molecular m…
Effects of soft interactions and bound mobility on diffusion in crowded environments: a model of sticky and slippery obstacles
Michael W. Stefferson, Samantha A. Norris, Franck J. Vernerey +2
Crowded environments modify the diffusion of macromolecules, generally slowing their movement and inducing transient anomalous subdiffusion. The presence of obstacles also modifies…
Phase-plane analysis of the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with binding kinetics and switching between antiparallel lanes
Hui-Shun Kuan, Meredith D. Betterton
Motor protein motion on biopolymers can be described by models related to the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process (TASEP). Inspired by experiments on the motion of kinesin-…
Motor protein accumulation on antiparallel microtubule overlaps
Hui-Shun Kuan, M. D. Betterton
Biopolymers serve as one-dimensional tracks on which motor proteins move to perform their biological roles. Motor protein phenomena have inspired theoretical models of one-dimensio…
Biophysics of filament length regulation by molecular motors
Hui-Shun Kuan, M. D. Betterton
Regulating physical size is an essential problem that biological organisms must solve from the subcellular to the organismal scales, but it is not well understood what physical pri…
Microtubule depolymerization by the kinesin-8 motor Kip3p: a mathematical model
L. E. Hough, Anne Schwabe, Matthew A. Glaser +2
Proteins from the kinesin-8 family promote microtubule (MT) depolymerization, a process thought to be important for the control of microtubule length in living cells. In addition t…
