Lipid exchange promotes fusion of model protocells
Ziyan Fan, Yaam Deckel, Lauren A. Lowe +5
Vesicle fusion is an important process underlying cell division, transport, and membrane trafficking. In phospholipid systems, a range of fusogens including divalent cations and de…
Universal relationship in gene-expression changes for cells in steady-growth state
Kunihiko Kaneko, Chikara Furusawa, Tetsuya Yomo
Cells adapt to different conditions by altering a vast number of components, which is measurable using transcriptome analysis. Given that a cell undergoing steady growth is constra…
Ubiquity of Log-normal Distributions in Intra-cellular Reaction Dynamic
Chikara Furusawa, Takao Suzuki, Akiko Kashiwagi +2
The discovery of two fundamental laws concerning cellular dynamics with recursive growth is reported. First, the chemical abundances measured over many cells are found to obey a lo…
Origin of genetic information from minority control in a replicating system with mutually catalytic molecules
Kunihiko Kaneko, Tetsuya Yomo
As the first step in an investigation of the origin of genetic information, we study how some species of molecules are preserved over cell generations and play an important role in…
Evolution of genetic code through isologous diversification of cellular states
H. Takagi, K. Kaneko, T. Yomo
Evolution of genetic code is studied as the change in the choice of enzymes that are used to synthesize amino acids from the genetic information of nucleic acids. We propose the fo…
Sympatric speciation: compliance with phenotype diversification from a single genotype
Kunihiko Kaneko, Tetsuya Yomo
A novel mechanism for sympatric speciation that takes into account complex bio-processes within each individual organism is proposed. According to dynamical systems theory, organis…
