| Vesicle dynamics in confined steady and harmonically modulated Poiseuille flows
Zakaria Boujja, Chaouqi Misbah, Hamid Ez-Zahraouy, Abdelilah Benyoussef, Thomas John, Christian Wagner, Martin Michael Müller |
We present a numerical study of the time-dependent motion of a membrane vesicle in a
channel under an imposed flow. In a Poiseuille flow the shape of the vesicle depends on the flow strength,
the mechanical properties of the membrane, and the width of the channel. In a wide parameter region, the
emerging snaking shape shows an oscillatory motion like a swimmer flagella even though the flow is
stationary. We quantify this behavior by the amplitude and frequency of the oscillations of the vesicle's
center of mass. The influence of an amplitude modulation of the imposed flow on the dynamics and shape of
the snaking vesicle is also investigated. We find that this modulation---when sufficiently small---induces
a modulation in amplitude and frequency of the center of mass of the snaking vesicle. For large
modulation amplitudes transitions to static shapes are observed.

| Myotubularin and PtdIns3P remodel the sarcoplasmic reticulum in muscle in vivo
Leonela Amoasii, Karim Hnia, Gaëtan Chicanne, Andreas Brech, Belinda Simone Cowling, Martin Michael Müller, Yannick Schwab, Pascale Koebel, Arnaud Ferry, Bernard Payrastre, Jocelyn Laporte |
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.

| Hamiltonian formulation of surfaces with constant Gaussian curvature
Miguel Trejo, Martine Ben Amar, Martin Michael Müller |
Dirac's method for constrained Hamiltonian systems is used to describe surfaces of constant Gaussian curvature. A geometrical free energy, for which these surfaces are equilibrium states, is introduced and interpreted as an action. An equilibrium surface can then be generated by the evolution of a closed space curve.
Since the underlying action depends on second derivatives, the velocity of the curve and its conjugate momentum must be included in the set of phase space variables. Furthermore, the action is linear in the acceleration of the curve and possesses a local symmetry---reparametrization invariance---which implies primary constraints in the canonical formalism. These constraints are incorporated into the Hamiltonian through Lagrange multiplier functions, that are identified as the components of the acceleration of the curve. The formulation leads to four first order partial differential equations, one for each canonical variable.
With the appropriate choice of parametrization only one of these equations has to be solved to obtain the surface which is swept out by the evolving space curve. To illustrate the formalism, several evolutions of pseudospherical surfaces are discussed.

| Elasticity Mapping of Pore-Suspending Native Cell Membranes
Bärbel Lorenz, Ingo Mey, Siegfried Steltenkamp, Tamir Fine, Christina Rommel, Martin Michael Müller, Alexander Maiwald, Joachim Wegener, Claudia Steinem, Andreas Janshoff |
The mechanics of cellular membranes is governed by a non-equilibrium composite framework
consisting of the semiflexible filamentous cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix proteins linked to
the lipid bilayer. While elasticity information of plasma membranes has mainly been obtained from
whole cell analysis, techniques that allow to address local mechanical properties of cell
membranes are desirable to learn how their lipid and protein composition is reflected in the elastic
behavior on local length scales. Here, we introduce an approach based on basolateral
membranes of polar epithelial Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) II cells, prepared on a highly ordered porous substrate that
allows elastic mapping on a submicrometer length scale. A strong correlation between the
density of actin filaments and the measured membrane elasticity is found. Spatially resolved indentation experiments carried out with atomic force and fluorescence microscope permit to relate the supramolecular structure to the elasticity of cellular membranes. It is shown that the elastic response of the pore-spanning cell membranes is governed by the local bending modules rather than the lateral tension.

| How paper folds: bending with local constraints
Jemal Guven, Martin Michael Müller |
A variational framework is introduced to describe how a surface bends when it is subject to local constraints on its geometry. This framework is applied to describe the patterns of a folded sheet of paper. The unstretchability of paper implies a constraint on the surface metric; bending is penalized by an energy quadratic in mean curvature. The local Lagrange multipliers enforcing the constraint are identified with a conserved tangential stress that couples to the extrinsic curvature of the sheet. The framework is illustrated by examining the deformation of a flat sheet into a generalized cone.

| Balancing torques in membrane-mediated interactions: Exact results and
numerical illustrations
Martin Michael Müller, Markus Deserno, Jemal Guven |
Torques on interfaces can be described by a divergence-free tensor
which is fully encoded in the geometry. This tensor consists of two
terms, one originating in the couple of the stress, the other capturing
an intrinsic contribution due to curvature. In analogy to the description
of forces in terms of a stress tensor, the torque on a particle can be
expressed as a line integral along any contour surrounding the particle.
Interactions between particles mediated by a fluid membrane are studied
within this framework. In particular, torque balance places a strong
constraint on the shape of the membrane. Symmetric two-particle
configurations admit simple analytical expressions which are valid
in the fully nonlinear regime; in particular, the problem may be
solved exactly in the case of two membrane-bound parallel cylinders.
This apparently simple system provides some flavor of the remarkably
subtle nonlinear behavior associated with membrane-mediated interactions.

| Mechanical Properties of Pore-Spanning Lipid Bilayers Probed by Atomic Force Microscopy
Siegfried Steltenkamp, Martin Michael Müller, Markus Deserno, Christian Hennesthal, Claudia Steinem, Andreas Janshoff |
We measure the elastic response of a free-standing lipid membrane to a local indentation by using an atomic force microscope. Starting point is a planar
gold-coated alumina substrate with a chemisorbed 3-mercaptopropionic acid
monolayer displaying circular pores of very well defined and tunable size, over
which bilayers composed of N,N,- dimethyl- N,N,- dioctadecylammonium bromide or
1,2 - dioleoyl - 3 - trimethylammonium - propane chloride were spread.
Centrally indenting these 'nanodrums' with an atomic force microscope tip yields
force-indentation curves, which we quantitatively analyze by solving the
corresponding shape equations of continuum curvature elasticity. Since the
measured response depends in a known way on the system geometry (pore size, tip
radius) and on material parameters (bending modulus, lateral tension), this opens
the possibility to monitor local elastic properties of lipid membranes in a
well-controlled setting.
