Title: Simple models of intra-cellular transport and sorting
Abstract:Biological cells are compartmentalized into various organelles that continuously exchange material but that nevertheless maintain distinct biochemical identities. Heterogeneities of chemical composition are crucial to the proper maturation and sorting of proteins secreted by the cell, and must be actively maintained by energy-consuming processes. The Golgi apparatus plays a central role as a major sorting station along the secretory pathway of cells. It appears to be a self-organized, compartmentalized and polar structure, able to undergo fusion and scission, through which most protein synthesized by the cell must pass in order for them to be fully functional. In this talk, I will present some aspects of intra-cellular organization and transport as viewed from a physicist's standpoint. I will discuss the minimal requirement for the generation and maintenance of organelles with distinct biochemical identities, and present simple views of the Golgi biogenesis.
