We observed that the oscillation period of MinD within rod-like and filamentous cells of Escherichia coli varied by a factor of 4 in the temperature range from 20 degrees C to 40 degrees C. The detailed dependence was Arrhenius, with a slope similar to the overall temperature-dependent growth curve of E. coli. The detailed pattern of oscillation, including the characteristic wavelength in filamentous cells, remained independent of temperature. A quantitative model of MinDE oscillation exhibited similar behavior, with an activated temperature dependence of the MinE-stimulated MinD-ATPase rate.
我们观察到,在20摄氏度至40摄氏度的温度范围内,大肠杆菌杆状和丝状细胞内MinD的振荡周期变化了4倍。详细的依赖关系符合阿伦尼乌斯方程,其斜率与大肠杆菌整体温度依赖性生长曲线相似。振荡的详细模式,包括丝状细胞中的特征波长,与温度无关。MinDE振荡的定量模型表现出类似的行为,MinE刺激的MinD-ATP酶速率具有活化的温度依赖性。
