Clocking out: modeling phage-induced lysis of Escherichia coli
Ryan, G. L.; Rutenberg, A. D. (2007-07)Phage lambda lyses the host Escherichia coli at a precisely scheduled time after induction. Lysis timing is determined by the action of phage holins, which are small proteins that induce hole formation in the bacterium's ... -
Maximally fast coarsening algorithms
Cheng, M.; Rutenberg, A. D. (2005-11)We present maximally fast numerical algorithms for conserved coarsening systems that are stable and accurate with a growing natural time step Deltat=At2/3s. We compare the scaling structure obtained from our maximally fast ... -
Pulling helices inside bacteria: imperfect helices and rings
Allard, J. F.; Rutenberg, A. D. (2009-04)We study steady-state configurations of intrinsically-straight elastic filaments constrained within rod-shaped bacteria that have applied forces distributed along their length. Perfect steady-state helices result from axial ... -
Self-organization of the MinE protein ring in subcellular Min oscillations
Derr, J.; Hopper, J. T.; Sain, A.; Rutenberg, A. D. (2009-07)We model the self-organization of the MinE ring that is observed during subcellular oscillations of the proteins MinD and MinE within the rod-shaped bacterium Escherichia coli. With a steady-state approximation, we can ... -
Steady-state helices of the actin homolog MreB inside bacteria: dynamics without motors
Allard, J. F.; Rutenberg, A. D. (2007-09)Within individual bacteria, we combine force-dependent polymerization dynamics of individual MreB protofilaments with an elastic model of protofilament bundles buckled into helical configurations. We use variational ... -
