- W4367678932 abstract "Abstract Many cells adjust the direction of polarized growth or migration in response to external directional cues. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae orient their cell fronts (also called polarity sites) up pheromone gradients in the course of mating. However, the initial polarity site is often not oriented towards the eventual mating partner, and cells relocate the polarity site in an indecisive manner before developing a stable orientation. During this reorientation phase, the polarity site displays erratic assembly-disassembly behavior and moves around the cell cortex. The mechanisms underlying this dynamic behavior remain poorly understood. Particle-based simulations of the core polarity circuit revealed that molecular-level fluctuations are insufficient to overcome the strong positive feedback required for polarization and generate relocating polarity sites. Surprisingly, inclusion of a second pathway that promotes polarity site orientation generated a mobile polarity site with properties similar to those observed experimentally. This pathway forms a second positive feedback loop involving the recruitment of receptors to the cell membrane and couples polarity establishment to gradient sensing. This second positive feedback loop also allows cells to stabilize their polarity site once the site is aligned with the pheromone gradient. Author summary Cells perform many complex tasks, including directed growth, migration, division and differentiation. To accomplish these tasks, the relevant molecular machinery is localized to specific cellular regions. The asymmetric distribution of cellular components is referred to as cell polarity. Polarity is established by localized activation of the protein Cdc42. Establishing mechanisms that regulate the spatiotemporal activity of Cdc42 is a fundamental area of cell biology. Mating yeast cells dynamically relocate a region of high Cdc42 activity, referred to as the polarity site, and grow toward each other after proper alignment of the sites. We investigated mechanisms that generate dynamic polarity sites by performing particle-based simulations of the biochemical reactions that regulate Cdc42 activity. The reactions contain two positive feedback loops that reinforce Cdc42 activity. The first involves autocatalytic activation of Cdc42 through recruitment of an activator. While necessary for polarity establishment, this feedback loop on its own created a stable polarity site that did not relocate. Incorporation of the second feedback loop, which couples the polarity machinery to extracellular mating signals, generated mobile polarity sites. This feedback loop also provides a mechanism for developing stable alignment of polarity sites. Our findings provide insight into how cells regulate polarity dynamics to accomplish complex tasks." @default.
