Abstract

We introduce a three-dimensional stochastic reaction-diffusion model to describe MinD/MinE dynamical structures in Escherichia coli. This model spontaneously generates pole-to-pole oscillations of the membrane-associated MinD proteins, MinE ring, as well as filaments of the membrane-associated MinD proteins. Experimental data suggest MinD filaments are two-stranded. In order to model them we assume that each membrane-associated MinD protein can form up to three bonds with adjacent membrane-associated MinD molecules and that MinE induced hydrolysis strongly depends on the number of bonds MinD has established.
