Journal ArticleDOI
A recursive vesicle-based model protocell with a primitive model cell cycle
Kensuke Kurihara,Yusaku Okura,Muneyuki Matsuo,Taro Toyota,Kentaro Suzuki,Tadashi Sugawara,Tadashi Sugawara,Tadashi Sugawara +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that newborn daughter GVs can be restored to the status of their parental GVs by pH-induced vesicular fusion ofdaughter GVs with conveyer GVs filled with depleted substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proliferating coacervate droplets as the missing link between chemistry and biology in the origins of life.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify conditions suitable for concurrent peptide generation and self-assembly, and show how a proliferating peptide-based droplet could be created by using synthesised amino acid thioesters as prebiotic monomers.
Journal ArticleDOI
DNA Length-dependent Division of a Giant Vesicle-based Model Protocell.
Muneyuki Matsuo,Yumi Kan,Kensuke Kurihara,Takehiro Jimbo,Masayuki Imai,Masayuki Imai,Taro Toyota,Yuiko Hirata,Kentaro Suzuki,Tadashi Sugawara +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that vesicle division depends on the length of the encapsulated DNA, and the self-assembly of an internal supramolecular catalyst possibly leads to the direct causal relationship between DNA length and the capacity of the vesicles to self-reproduce.
Journal ArticleDOI
A sustainable self-reproducing liposome consisting of a synthetic phospholipid
TL;DR: It was found that the liposomes deformed into a budding shape, followed by division, after the addition of a membrane precursor, and this anionic monocomponent liposome could be regarded as a sustainable self-reproducing system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environment-Sensitive Intelligent Self-Reproducing Artificial Cell with a Modification-Active Lipo-Deoxyribozyme.
Muneyuki Matsuo,Yuiko Hirata,Kensuke Kurihara,Taro Toyota,Toru Miura,Kentaro Suzuki,Tadashi Sugawara +6 more
TL;DR: The GV-based artificial cell can be regarded as an intelligent supramolecular machine responding to external and internal environments, providing a new concept for developing molecular machines and robotics.
