Julien Fierling, Albert Johner, Igor M. Kulić, Hervé Mohrbach, Martin Michael Müller |
We study the deformations of a fluid membrane imposed by adhering stiff
bio-filaments due to the torques they apply. In the limit of small deformations, we
derive a general expression for the energy and the deformation field of the membrane.
This expression is specialised to different important cases including closed and helical
bio-filaments. In particular, we analyse interface-mediated interactions and membrane
wrapping when the filaments apply a local torque distribution on a tubular membrane.

The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a specialized form of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in skeletal muscle
and is essential for calcium homeostasis. The mechanisms involved in SR
remodeling and maintenance of SR subdomains are elusive. In this study, we identified
myotubularin (MTM1), a phosphatase mutated in X-linked centronuclear myopathy
(XLCNM), as a key regulator of phosphoinositide-3-monophosphate (PtdIns3P) levels at the
SR. Mtm1 deficient mouse muscles and myoblasts from XLCNM patients exhibit abnormal
SR/ER networks. In vivo modulation of MTM1 enzymatic activity in muscle using ectopic
expression of wild-type or a dead-phosphatase MTM1 protein leads to differential SR
remodeling. Active MTM1 is associated to flat membrane stacks, while dead-phosphatase
MTM1 mutant promotes highly curved cubic membranes originating from the SR and
enriched in PtdIns3P. Moreover, expression of the PtdIns3P binding module 2XFYVE also
modified the SR shape at triads. Our findings, supported by the parallel analysis of the Mtm1-
null mouse and in vivo study, reveal a direct function of MTM1 enzymatic activity in SR
remodeling and a key role for its substrate PtdIns3P in promoting SR membrane curvature in
skeletal muscle. We propose that alteration in SR remodeling is a primary cause of X-linked
centronuclear myopathy. The tight regulation of PtdIns3P on specific membrane subdomains
may be a general mechanism to control membrane curvature.

![](grafiken/20epole_icon.png) | Dipoles in thin sheets
Jemal Guven, J. A. Hanna, Osman Kahraman, Martin Michael Müller |
A flat elastic sheet may contain pointlike conical singularities that carry a metrical "charge" of Gaussian curvature. Adding such elementary defects to a sheet allows one to make many shapes, in a manner broadly
analogous to the familiar multipole construction in electrostatics. However, here the underlying field theory is non-linear,
and superposition of intrinsic defects is non-trivial as it must respect the immersion of the resulting surface in three
dimensions. We consider a "charge-neutral" dipole composed of two conical singularities of opposite sign.
Unlike the relatively simple electrostatic case, here there are two distinct stable minima and an infinity of unstable equilibria.
We determine the shapes of the minima and evaluate their energies in the thin-sheet regime where bending dominates
over stretching. Our predictions are in surprisingly good agreement with experiments on paper sheets.

![](grafiken/02multibody_icon.gif) | Interface mediated interactions between particles -- a geometrical approach
Martin Michael Müller, Markus Deserno, Jemal Guven |
Particles bound to an interface interact because they deform its shape.
The stresses that result are fully encoded in the geometry and described
by a divergence-free surface stress tensor. This stress tensor can be
used to express the force on a particle as a line integral along any
conveniently chosen closed contour that surrounds the particle. The
resulting expression is exact (i.e., free of any 'smallness' assumptions)
and independent of the chosen surface parametrization. Additional surface
degrees of freedom, such as vector fields describing lipid tilt, are readily
included in this formalism. As an illustration, we derive the exact force
for several important surface Hamiltonians in various symmetric two-particle
configurations in terms of the midplane geometry; its sign is evident in
certain interesting limits. Specializing to the linear regime, where the
shape can be analytically determined, these general expressions yield
force-distance relations, several of which have originally been derived
by using an energy based approach.
