ABSTRACT
Communication between cells is crucial to the survival of both uni- and multicellular organisms. The primary mode of communication involves chemical cues. There is great current interest in mimicking this behavior in synthetic cells to understand the physical basis of intercellular communication and design collective functional behavior. Using liposomal cell mimics, we demonstrate how a chemical input can elicit a mechanical response (enhanced motility). We employed a single substrate to trigger enzyme cascade-induced control of the diffusion of up to three different liposome populations. Furthermore, substrate competition allows temporal control over enhanced diffusion. The use of enzyme cascades to propagate chemical signals provides a robust and efficient mechanism for diverse populations of protocells to coordinate their motion in response to signals from each other.
