Continuum Description of the Cytoskeleton: Ring Formation in the Cell Cortex
Alexander Zumdieck, Marco Cosentino Lagomarsino, Catalin Tanase +4
Motivated by the formation of ring-like filament structures in the cortex of plant and animal cells, we study the dynamics of a two-dimensional layer of cytoskeletal filaments and…
Min-oscillations in Escherichia coli induced by interactions of membrane-bound proteins
G. Meacci, K. Kruse
During division it is of primary importance for a cell to correctly determine the site of cleavage. The bacterium Escherichia coli divides in the center, producing two daughter cel…
Cellular organization by self-organization : mechanisms and models for Min protein dynamics
Martin Howard, Karsten Kruse
We use the oscillating Min proteins of Escherichia coli as a prototype system to illustrate the current state and potential of modeling protein dynamics in space and time. We demon…
Filament depolymerization by motor molecules
Gernot A. Klein, Karsten Kruse, Gianaurelio Cuniberti +1
Motor proteins that specifically interact with the ends of cytoskeletal filaments can induce filament depolymerization. A phenomenological description of this process is presented.…
