Tailoring the mechanical properties of nanoparticle networks that encompass biomimetic catch bonds

Journal Article Zhang, Tao ; Mbanga, Badel L. ; Yashin, Victor V. ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science. Part B, Polymer Physics

ABSTRACT Biological “catch” bonds display the distinctive attribute that the bond lifetime can increase under an applied force. Insertion of biomimetic catch bonds into hybrid materials could lead to composites that exhibit remarkable mechanical properties. We model the tensile behavior of polymer‐grafted nanoparticle (PGN) networks interconnected by a mixture of catch bonds and conventional “slip” bonds, whose lifetimes decrease with force. We formulate a kinetic master equation that provides the complete probabilistic description of a system of two PGNs. The master equation is used to analyze the parameter space that determines the rupture behavior of the catch bonds in themore »« less

Harnessing biomimetic cryptic bonds to form self-reinforcing gels

Journal Article Biswas, Santidan ; Yashin, Victor V. ; Balazs, Anna C. - Soft Matter

Cryptic sites, which lay hidden in folded biomolecules, become exposed by applied force and form new bonds that reinforce the biomaterial. While these binding interactions effectively inhibit mechanical deformation, there are few synthetic materials that harness mechano-responsive cryptic sites to forestall damage. Here, we develop a computational model to design polymer gels encompassing cryptic sites and a lower critical solution temperature (LCST). LCST gels swell with a decrease in temperature, thereby generating internal stresses within the sample. The gels also encompass loops held together by the cryptic sites, as well as dangling chains with chemically reactive ends. A decrease inmore »« less

Mechanism of the cadherin–catenin F-actin catch bond interaction

Journal Article Wang, Amy ; Dunn, Alexander R. ; Weis, William I. - eLife

Mechanotransduction at cell–cell adhesions is crucial for the structural integrity, organization, and morphogenesis of epithelia. At cell–cell junctions, ternary E-cadherin/β-catenin/αE-catenin complexes sense and transmit mechanical load by binding to F-actin. The interaction with F-actin, described as a two-state catch bond, is weak in solution but is strengthened by applied force due to force-dependent transitions between weak and strong actin-binding states. Here, we provide direct evidence from optical trapping experiments that the catch bond property principally resides in the αE-catenin actin-binding domain (ABD). Consistent with our previously proposed model, the deletion of the first helix of the five-helix ABD bundle enablesmore »« less

Resolving the molecular mechanism of cadherin catch bond formation

Journal Article Manibog, Kristine ; Li, Hui ; Rakshit, Sabyasachi ; ... - Nature Communications

Classical cadherin Ca(2+)-dependent cell-cell adhesion proteins play key roles in embryogenesis and in maintaining tissue integrity. Cadherins mediate robust adhesion by binding in multiple conformations. One of these adhesive states, called an X-dimer, forms catch bonds that strengthen and become longer lived in the presence of mechanical force. Here we use single-molecule force-clamp spectroscopy with an atomic force microscope along with molecular dynamics and steered molecular dynamics simulations to resolve the molecular mechanisms underlying catch bond formation and the role of Ca(2+) ions in this process. Our data suggest that tensile force bends the cadherin extracellular region such that theymore »« less
