Geometry-induced protein pattern formation.
Protein patterns are known to adapt to cell shape and serve as spatial templates that choreograph downstream processes like cell polarity or cell division. However, how can pattern-forming proteins sense and respond to the geometry of a cell, and what mechanistic principles underlie pattern formation? Current models invoke mechanisms based on dynamic instabilities arising from nonlinear interac...
متن کاملProtein Pattern Formation
Protein pattern formation is essential for the spatial organization of many intracellular processes like cell division, flagellum positioning, and chemotaxis. A prominent example of intracellular patterns are the oscillatory pole-to-pole oscillations of Min proteins in E. coli whose biological function is to ensure precise cell division. Cell polarization, a prerequisite for processes such as s...
متن کاملGeometry and boundary control of pattern formation and competition
This paper presents the effective control of the formation and competition of cellular patterns. Simulation and theoretical analyses are carried out for pattern formation in a confined circular domain. The Cahn–Hilliard equation is solved with the zero-flux boundary condition to describe the phase separation of binary mixtures. A wavelet-based discrete singular convolution algorithm is employed...
متن کاملPattern Formation Induced by Time-Dependent Advection
We study pattern-forming instabilities in reaction-advection-diffusion systems. We develop an approach based on Lyapunov-Bloch exponents to figure out the impact of a spatially periodic mixing flow on the stability of a spatially homogeneous state. We deal with the flows periodic in space that may have arbitrary time dependence. We propose a discrete in time model, where reaction, advection, an...
متن کاملTravelling lipid domains in a dynamic model for protein-induced pattern formation in biomembranes.
Cell membranes are composed of a mixture of lipids. Many biological processes require the formation of spatial domains in the lipid distribution of the plasma membrane. We have developed a mathematical model that describes the dynamic spatial distribution of acidic lipids in response to the presence of GMC proteins and regulating enzymes. The model encompasses diffusion of lipids and GMC protei...
