Mobility in geometrically confined membranes

Abstract: Lipid and protein lateral mobility is essential for biological function. Our theoretical understanding of this mobility can be traced to the seminal work of Saffman and Delbrück, who predicted a logarithmic dependence of the protein diffusion coefficient (i) on the inverse of the size of the protein and (ii) on the "membrane size" for membranes of finite size [Saffman P, Delbrück M (1975) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 72:3111-3113]. Although the experimental proof of the first prediction is a matter of debate, the s… Show more

“…The mobility of DiI decreased as the molecules approached the tips of filopodia or spines (Fig. 3E), possibly due to the higher local membrane curvature (36) and the different composition of membrane proteins at these locations.…”

“…27). It is thus likely that curvature will amplify this effect, as curvature significantly reduces protein diffusion 28 and also affects lipids dynamics 26 . Under such conditions, one would expect that the transient segregation of PtdIns(4,5)P 2 generates a positive feedback, allowing proteins that selectively interact with PtdIns(4,5)P 2 to locally accumulate on PtdIns(4,5)P 2 -enriched areas, independently of their ability to polymerize (that is, AP180 and Epsin2).…”

“…Experimental measurements of L sd for lipid bilayer systems are typically in the 100 nm to micron range. 24,25,[38][39][40][41][42] In coarse-grained models, some details of lipid and solvent structure are lost and there is no reason to expect close correspondence to experimental numbers. For example, in the coarse-grained MARTINI force field, 5 η m has been determined to be 1.2 × 10 −8 P cm for DPPC bilayers, with water viscosity η f = 7 × 10 −3 P. 9 Within MARTINI simulations, we expect L sd ≈ 8.6 nm-much smaller than the experimental range.…”
