Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles

Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Small vesicles orbiting larger ones in an electric field exhibit dynamic angular segregation. This behavior, driven by induced dipolar interactions, forms distinct vesicle bands in a toroidal flow.

Area of Science:

Physics, soft matter
Biophysics

Background:

Electric fields induce aggregation in vesicle suspensions.
Toroidal electrohydrodynamic flow fields can trap particles.

Purpose of the Study:

Investigate dynamic angular segregation of small vesicles orbiting larger ones.
Model the behavior of vesicles in electrohydrodynamic flow.

Main Methods:

Applied low-frequency electric fields to vesicle suspensions.
Observed vesicle behavior in a toroidal electrohydrodynamic flow.
Developed a model based on rotating point dipoles.

Main Results:

Small vesicles (<10 microm) orbit larger vesicles (>20 microm).
Observed dynamic angular segregation of orbiting vesicles into distinct bands.
Model accurately predicted diverse vesicle trajectories.

Conclusions:

Angular segregation is explained by induced dipolar interactions.
The point dipole model successfully captures vesicle dynamics in cellular flow.
This behavior offers insights into particle self-organization in complex fluids.
