Membrane tension feedback on shape and motility of eukaryotic cells

Journal Article Winkler, Benjamin ; Aranson, Igor S. ; Ziebert, Falko - Physica. D, Nonlinear Phenomena

In the framework of a phase field model of a single cell crawling on a substrate, we investigate how the properties of the cell membrane affect the shape and motility of the cell. Since the membrane influences the cell dynamics on multiple levels and provides a nontrivial feedback, we consider the following fundamental interactions: (i) the reduction of the actin polymerization rate by membrane tension; (ii) area conservation of the cell’s two-dimensional cross-section vs. conservation of the circumference (i.e. membrane inextensibility); and (iii) the contribution from the membrane’s bending energy to the shape and integrity of the cell.

Flagellum couples cell shape to motility in Trypanosoma brucei

Journal Article Sun, Stella Y. ; Kaelber, Jason T. ; Chen, Muyuan ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

In the unicellular parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of human African sleeping sickness, complex swimming behavior is driven by a flagellum laterally attached to the long and slender cell body. Using microfluidic assays, we demonstrated that T. brucei can penetrate through an orifice smaller than its maximum diameter. Efficient motility and penetration depend on active flagellar beating. To understand how active beating of the flagellum affects the cell body, we genetically engineered T. brucei to produce anucleate cytoplasts (zoids and minis) with different flagellar attachment configurations and different swimming behaviors. We used cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to visualize zoids andmore »« less

High-throughput cell-free screening of eukaryotic membrane protein expression in lipidic mimetics

Journal Article Bruni, Renato ; Laguerre, Aisha ; Kaminska, Anna‐Maria ; ... - Protein Science

Membrane proteins play essential roles in cellular function and metabolism. Nonetheless, biophysical and structural studies of membrane proteins are impeded by the difficulty of their expression in and purification from heterologous cell-based systems. As an alternative to these cell-based systems, cell-free protein synthesis has proven to be an exquisite method for screening membrane protein targets in a variety of lipidic mimetics. Here we report a high-throughput screening workflow and applied it to screen 61eukaryotic membrane protein targets. For each target, we tested its expression in lipidic mimetics: two detergents, two liposomes, and two nanodiscs. We show that 35 membrane proteinsmore »« less
