Association dynamics and lateral transport in biological membranes

Abstract: A theoretical analysis is presented for the interrelated effects of lateral diffusion and a simple form of molecular association (A + B in equilibrium with C) in biological membranes. Expression are derived for the characteristic functions measured in fluorescence redistribution after photobleaching experiments, corresponding to both the Fourier transform analysis of concentration in a plane and the normal mode analysis for a spherical surface. The results are related to the reputed binding of integral membran… Show more

“…It is likely that the major reduction in the G lateral diffusion coefficients relative to the values expected in simple bilayers is due to the interactions of this protein either directly or indirectly (via other membrane proteins) with structures peripheral to the plasma membrane (10,14,15,17). For example, in VSV-infected cells, Reider et al (27) have demonstrated that the M protein in infected cells does lower the mobile fraction of G protein, but no effect on the mobility of the diffusing population was observed.…”

“…In a simpler view, microaggregation might slow lateral or rotational diffusion (the latter being relatively more sensitive to the size of the molecular aggregate (see Saffman & Delbruck, 1975;Koppel, Sheetz & Schindler, 1981;Koppel, 1981;Hughes et al, 1982), thereby affecting the rate of some surface biochemical reaction critical to triggering.…”

“…A final possibility is that antibodies bound to bilayers may associate into immobile submicroscopic clusters. If bound, clustered antibodies were in dynamic equilibrium with bound, monomeric antibodies, the second component could reflect the residency time of antibodies in immobile clusters (Koppel, 1981;Elson, 1985). The putative antibody clusters (mobile or immobile) might act as nucleation sites and precede crystallization of antibodies on phospholipid Langmuir-Blodgett films (Uzgiris and Kornberg, 1983;Uzgiris, 1986).…”
