Mechanisms of Membrane-bending01:15

Mechanisms of Membrane-bending

2.8K
The living membranes are flexible due to their fluid mosaic nature; however, their bending into different shapes is an active process regulated by specific lipids and proteins. The membrane bending can be transient as seen in vesicles or stable for a long time as in microvilli. Cells regulate the size, location, and duration of the membrane curvature.
Membrane bending can happen due to intrinsic changes in lipid composition or extrinsic association with different proteins. The proteins involved...

Mechanism of Lamellipodia Formation

2.7K
Cells migrating in response to external stimuli form lamellipodia, which are thin membrane protrusions supported by a mesh of linked, branched, or unbranched actin filaments. These actin filaments interact with myosin motor proteins, creating the dynamic actomyosin complex within the cytoskeleton. Contractility, or the ability to generate contractile stress, is inherent to the actomyosin complex. It helps cells detect the stiffness of the surrounding ECM and exert contractile force for...

ATP Synthase: Mechanism01:48

ATP Synthase: Mechanism

15.0K
In animals, the mitochondrial F1F0 ATP synthase is the key protein that synthesizes ATP molecules through a complex catalytic mechanism. While the nuclear genome encodes the majority of ATP synthase subunits, the mitochondrial genome encodes some of the enzyme's most critical components. The formation of this multi-subunit enzyme is a complex multi-step process regulated at the level of transcription, translation, and assembly. Defects in one or more of these steps can result in decreased...

Mechanism of Ciliary Motion

3.8K
The ciliary structures were first seen in 1647 by Antonie Leeuwenhoek while observing the protozoans. In lower organisms, these appendages are responsible for cell movement, while in higher organisms, these appendages help in the movement of the extracellular fluids within the body cavities.
The cilia are made up of microtubules in a 9+2 arrangement, with nine microtubule doublet ring bundles, surrounding a pair of central singlet microtubule bundles. The doublet microtubule bundles are...

Actin Treadmilling01:18

Actin Treadmilling

8.2K
Actin filaments undergo polymerization and depolymerization from either end. The polymerization and depolymerization rates depend on the cytosolic concentration of free G-actins. The polymerization rate is generally higher at the plus or barbed end, while the depolymerization rate is higher at the minus or pointed end. At a steady state, critical concentration describes the concentration of free G-actin monomers at which the polymerization rate at the plus end is equal to that of the...

Tension Response at Adherens Junctions01:26

Tension Response at Adherens Junctions

2.8K
The adherens junctions that anchor cells together are multi-protein complexes that dynamically adapt to mechanical stimuli such as tensile forces and shear stress. Mechanosensory proteins in these junctions can sense such mechanical stimuli and undergo a shift in their conformation, resulting in an altered function — a process called mechanotransduction.
α-Catenin as a Mechanosensory Protein
The α-catenin of adherens junctions is an allosteric protein with three VH (vinculin...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Máquinas moleculares
  • Química supramolecular
  • Almacenamiento de información

Sus antecedentes:

  • Las células procesan la información utilizando mecanismos análogos a las máquinas de Turing.
  • Las máquinas moleculares sintéticas capaces de leer / escribir información en cintas artificiales son actualmente difíciles de alcanzar.
  • Trabajos anteriores demostraron catalizadores y rotaxanos para la modificación de polímeros y la transferencia de bloques.

Principales métodos:

  • Se diseñó un sistema de trinquete molecular, empleando un éter de corona como "cabeza de lectura".
  • Se utilizaron pulsos de combustible químico para conducir el éter de la corona a lo largo de una cadena molecular codificada ("cinta").

Principales resultados:

  • El ratchet molecular leyó con éxito la información de las cintas moleculares codificadas con dígitos ternarios (-1, 0, +1).
  • Los cambios conformacionales del éter de la corona proporcionaron una lectura no destructiva de la información estereoquímica de la cinta.
  • El sistema demostró un comportamiento automático de estado finito, moviéndose unidireccionalmente a lo largo de la secuencia codificada.

  • Se ha desarrollado un nuevo ratchet molecular capaz de leer información de cintas moleculares artificiales.
  • Este sistema funciona como un autómata de estado finito, un tipo de máquina de Turing.
  • Los hallazgos abren posibilidades para futuras lecturas y escrituras de información utilizando nanomáquinas artificiales.
