Osmoelastic coupling in biological structures: formation of parallel bundles of actin filaments in a crystalline-like structure caused by osmotic stress.

Abstract：

:A high molecular weight inert molecule, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), or a soluble protein, ovalbumin, causes parallel bundles of actin filaments in a crystalline-like structure under physiological conditions of ionic compositions and pH. The bundle formation depends on the molecular weight of PEG, and a larger molecular weight of PEG can make the bundle at a lower concentration. Actin bundle formation has a discrete dependence on the concentration of PEG. The light scattering following PEG-induced bundle formation increased abruptly at 4.5% (w/w) PEG 6000, while at concentrations less than or equal to 4.0% (w/w) no increase was observed. Labeling actin filaments with heavy meromyosin indicated that the polarity of the filament in the bundle is random. The PEG-induced bundle formation depends on the ionic strength of the solutions and also the concentration of the filament, showing that a higher concentration of PEG was required at lower ionic strength or a lower concentration of the filament. The results described above cannot be explained on the basis of the postulation that the direct binding of PEG molecules to the actin filaments may cause bundle formation. Alternatively, the mechanism can be explained reasonably by the theory of osmoelastic coupling based on preferential exclusion of PEG molecules from the filament surface. High molecular weight molecules such as PEG should be preferentially excluded from the region adjacent to the actin filaments (exclusion layer) by steric hindrance, thereby making imbalance of osmolarity between the bulk and the exclusion layer. This imbalance puts an osmotic stress on the actin filament.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
