The Min proteins from Escherichia coli can self-organize into traveling waveson supported lipid bilayers. In Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 109, 15283 (2012) weshowed that these waves are guided along the boundaries of membrane patches. Weintroduced an effective two-dimensional model reproducing the observedpatterns. In arXiv:1403.5934v1, Jacob Halatek and Erwin Frey contest theability of our effective two-dimensional model to describe the dynamics of Minproteins on patterned supported lipid bilayers. We thank Halatek and Frey fortheir interest in our work and for again highlighting the importance ofdimensionality and geometry for pattern formation by the Min proteins. Here wereply in detail to the objections by Halatek and Frey and show that (1) oureffective two-dimensional model reproduces the observed patterns on isolatedpatches and that (2) a three-dimensional version of our model produces similarpatterns on square patches.

Response to Halatek and Frey: Effective two-dimensional model does account for geometry sensing by self-organized proteins patterns
