Multicellular self-organization of P. aeruginosa due to interactions with secreted trails
Anatolij Gelimson, Kun Zhao, Calvin K. Lee +3
Guided movement in response to slowly diffusing polymeric trails provides a unique mechanism for self-organization of some microorganisms. To elucidate how this signaling route lea…
Effective dynamics of microorganisms that interact with their own trail
W. Till Kranz, Anatolij Gelimson, Kun Zhao +2
Like ants, some microorganisms are known to leave trails on surfaces to communicate. We explore how trail-mediated self-interaction could affect the behavior of individual microorg…
A Dynamic Network Formation Model for Understanding Bacterial Self-Organization into Micro-Colonies
Luca Canzian, Kun Zhao, Gerard C. L. Wong +1
We propose a general parametrizable model to capture the dynamic interaction among bacteria in the formation of micro-colonies. micro-colonies represent the first social step towar…
Cooperativity and Frustration in Protein-Mediated Parallel Actin Bundles
Homin Shin, Kirstin R. Purdy Drew, James R. Bartles +2
We examine the mechanism of bundling of cytoskeletal actin filaments by two representative bundling proteins, fascin and espin. Small-angle X-ray studies show that increased bindin…
Structure and stability of self-assembled actin-lysozyme complexes in salty water
Lori K. Sanders, Camilo Guaqueta, Thomas E. Angelini +4
Interactions between actin, an anionic polyelectrolyte, and lysozyme, a cationic globular protein, have been examined using a combination of synchrotron small-angle x-ray scatterin…
