中文简介:
细胞的生存能力和参与社区的能力,如人体,需要一个物流网络,分配营养,细胞内容,和信息在生物学上合理的时间尺度。在嘈杂的环境中运行的单个硬连线分子制剂的总和是如何产生一个健壮的、适应性强的系统的?例如,运动蛋白沿着细胞内丝将货物运送到分子间隔网络中的适当位置,分子间隔网络的连通性正逐渐得到阐明。然而,令人惊讶的是,人们对这些运动蛋白的作用知之甚少,尤其是(1)它们在细胞中的去向,(2)它们的运输方式,以及(3)它们的活动是如何被调控的。为了解决这些基本问题,我们对运动蛋白进行了修饰,这样它们就可以在活细胞中被可视化,并与它们的物理结合伙伴一起被恢复。单个运动蛋白也被从细胞中移除,以确定对不同细胞转运途径的总体影响。我们发现不同的运动蛋白以独特的亚细胞间室为靶点,并识别出这些细胞间室中的调节蛋白,这些调节蛋白可以作为分子邮政编码,或者以其他方式调节货物结合和释放的周期。总的来说,这提供了一个使用有限数量的组件管理复杂系统的生物学解决方案示例。
课程简介: The ability of cells to survive and participate in a community, such as the human body, requires a logistical network that distributes nutrients, cellular contents, and information at biologically reasonable time-scales. How does a robust, adaptable system emerge from the sum of individual hard-wired molecular agents operating in a noisy environment? For example, motor proteins deliver cargo along intracellular filaments to appropriate sites in a network of molecular compartments whose connectivity is slowly becoming elucidated. However, surprisingly little is known about what these motor proteins do, specifically, (1) where they go in cells, (2) what they transport, and (3) how their activity is regulated. To address these basic questions, we modified motor proteins so they could be visualized in live cells and recovered with their physical binding partners. Individual motor proteins were also removed from cells to determine the overall effect on different cellular trafficking pathways. We found that different motor proteins are targeted to unique sub-cellular compartments and identified regulatory proteins resident in these compartments that could serve as molecular postal codes, or otherwise regulate the cycle of cargo binding and release. Overall, this provides an example of a biological solution to managing complex systems using a limited number of components.
