Stepping, Strain Gating, and an Unexpected Force-Velocity Curve for Multiple-Motor-Based Transport
BACKGROUND Intracellular transport via processive kinesin, dynein, and myosin molecular motors plays an important role in maintaining cell structure and function. In many cases, cargoes move distances longer than expected for single motors; there is significant evidence that this increased travel is in part due to multiple motors working together to move the cargoes. Although we understand sing...
متن کاملForce-velocity relations for multiple-molecular-motor transport.
A transition rate model of cargo transport by N molecular motors is proposed. Under the assumption of steady state, the force-velocity curve of multimotor system can be derived from the force-velocity curve of a single motor. Our work shows, in the case of low load, that the velocity of multimotor system can decrease or increase with increasing motor number, which is dependent on the single mot...

متن کاملA New Technique based on Strain Energy for Correction of Stress-strain Curve
Tensile stress-strain curve is of high importance in mechanics of materials particularly in numerical simulations of material deformations. The curve is usually obtained by experiment but is limited by necking phenomenon. Engineering stress-strain curve is converted to true stress-strain curve through simple formulas. The conversion, however, is correct up the point of necking. From this point ...
متن کاملMultiple-motor based transport and its regulation by Tau.
Motor-based intracellular transport and its regulation are crucial to the functioning of a cell. Disruption of transport is linked to Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. However, many fundamental aspects of transport are poorly understood. An important issue is how cells achieve and regulate efficient long-distance transport. Mounting evidence suggests that many in vivo cargoes ar...
