Shear Stress Induces Concentration Gradient Distributions of Membrane Proteins in Live Cells

Sawako Yamashiro, Misato Nomura, Nils Chapin, Sreeja Sasidharan, Louis L. H. Elverston, Kohjiro Nagao, Leah E. Knepper, Damien Thévenin, Naoki Watanabe, Aurelia R. Honerkamp‐Smith

The paper shows that shear stress creates concentration gradients of membrane proteins in live cells, suggesting a mechanism for flow sensing.

Flow transports extracellular lipid-anchored proteins across the surface of living COS-7 cells

Sreeja Sasidharan, Leah E. Knepper, Larissa Socrier, Liliane Smits, Samuel Pash, Linda J. Lowe‐Krentz, Damien Thévenin, Aurelia R. Honerkamp‐Smith

The paper shows that lipid-anchored proteins on COS-7 cells form reversible concentration gradients under shear stress, suggesting passive flow transport as a mechanism for membrane protein organization.
