Actin cross-linkers and the shape of stereociliaMartin Lenz
Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, Paris, France
Biophys J 99:2423-33. 2010..Numerical simulations of interacting filaments suggest an anomalous power-law divergence of the protrusion length at the growth transition, which could be a universal feature of cross-linked depolymerizing systems...
Deformation of dynamin helices damped by membrane frictionSandrine Morlot
Laboratoire Physico Chimie Curie, Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, Paris, France
Biophys J 99:3580-8. 2010..Comparison between experiments and our model indicates that the deformation dynamics is dominated by the draining of the membrane out of the helix, allowing quantification of helix-membrane interactions...
Mechanical requirements for membrane fission: common facts from various examplesMartin Lenz
Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, CNRS, UMR 168, Physico Chimie Curie, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris 6, F 75248 Paris, France
FEBS Lett 583:3839-46. 2009..Then, we survey the recent knowledge obtained on other fission reactions, analyzing the similarities and differences with previous examples...
Membrane buckling induced by curved filamentsMartin Lenz
Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, Laboratoire Physico Chimie Curie, CNRS, UMR 168, Paris, F 75248 France
Phys Rev Lett 103:038101. 2009..We study strongly deformed dressed membranes and their bifurcation diagram numerically. Our mechanism could be validated by a simple experiment...
ATP-dependent mechanics of red blood cellsTimo Betz
Centre de Recherche, Institut Curie, Unités Mixte de Recherche 168, F 75248 Paris, France
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 106:15320-5. 2009..4 +/- 0.1 k(B)T, that corresponds to an actively increased effective temperature...
Mechanochemical action of the dynamin proteinMartin Lenz
Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, Laboratoire Physico Chimie Curie, Paris F 75248, France
Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys 78:011911. 2008..A more involved, semimicroscopic model yields complete predictions for the dynamics of the tube and possibly accounts for contradictory experimental results concerning its change of conformation as well as for plectonemic supercoiling...
Membrane curvature controls dynamin polymerizationAurelien Roux
Physico Chimie Curie, Institut Curie, Centre de Recherche, Unité Mixte de Recherche 168, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie, F 75248 Paris, France
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:4141-6. 2010..More generally, we expect that any protein that binds or self-assembles onto membranes in a curvature-coupled way should behave in a qualitatively similar manner, but with its own specific range of concentration...
A reaction-diffusion model of the cadherin-catenin system: a possible mechanism for contact inhibition and implications for tumorigenesisMarkus Basan
Laboratoire Physico Chimie Curie, CNRS UMR 168, Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris VI, Institut Curie Centre de Recherche, Paris, France
Biophys J 98:2770-9. 2010..In particular, we address the effect of a knockout of the adenomatous polyposis coli tumor suppressor gene. Potential direct tests of our model are discussed...
