AbstractSensing and reacting to the environment is essential for survival and procreation of most organisms. Caenorhabditis elegans senses soluble chemicals with transmembrane proteins (TPs) in the cilia of its chemosensory neurons. Development, maintenance and function of these cilia relies on intraflagellar transport (IFT), in which motor proteins transport cargo, including sensory TPs, back and forth along the ciliary axoneme. Here we use live fluorescence imaging to show that IFT machinery and the sensory TP OCR-2 reversibly redistribute along the cilium after exposure to repellant chemicals. To elucidate the underlying mechanisms, we performed single-molecule tracking experiments and found that OCR-2 distribution depends on an intricate interplay between IFT-driven transport, normal diffusion and subdiffusion that depends on the specific location in the cilium. These insights in the role of IFT on the dynamics of cellular signal transduction contribute to a deeper understanding of the regulation of sensory TPs and chemosensing.

Different semi-synthetic PDNAs (protein–DNA complexes), which encompass a protein core engineered from the cytochrome b5 scaffold, an embedded tuneable redox cofactor, a synthetic linker and a large oligonucleotide, were designed, synthesized and purified to homogeneity. These building blocks can be reversibly attached to Ni-DOGS {1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-[N(5-amino-1-carboxypentyl)iminodiacetic acid]succinyl}-doped supported membranes through a metal chelate bridge with the protein part and be polymerized in a fully controllable manner using a solid-phase synthesis strategy and a stepwise addition of suitable complementary oligonucleotides. The resulting structures could recreate a large range of regular distribution of patterned redox and absorbing centres separated by fully tuneable distances and geometry. Kinetic parameters for the self-assembly of building blocks were determined using SPRI (surface plasmon resonance imagery). Structures of resulting nano-objects were characterized using gel electrophoresis and single molecule approaches following decoration of assemblies with quantum dots.

The functional modification of solid surfaces with plasma membrane models has been drawing increasing attention as a straightforward strategy to bridge soft biological materials and hard inorganic materials. Planar model membranes can be deposited either directly on solid substrates (solid-supported membranes), or on ultrathin polymer supports (polymer-supported membranes) that mimic the generic role of the extracellular matrix and the cell surface. The first part of this review provides an overview of advances in the fabrication of polymer-supported membranes. The middle section describes how such thin polymer interlayers can physically modulate the membrane–substrate contact. The last section introduces several methods to localize membranes and membrane proteins. Finally, some ideas are presented on combining supported membrane concepts with semiconductor technology toward applications in materials science.
