A synthetic gene circuit for measuring autoregulatory feedback control.
Autoregulatory feedback loops occur in the regulation of molecules ranging from ATP to MAP kinases to zinc. Negative feedback loops can increase a system's robustness, while positive feedback loops can mediate transitions between cell states. Recent genome-wide experimental and computational studies predict hundreds of novel feedback loops. However, not all physical interactions are regulatory,...
متن کاملOptimal feedback strength for noise suppression in autoregulatory gene networks.
Autoregulatory feedback loops, where the protein expressed from a gene inhibits or activates its own expression are common gene network motifs within cells. In these networks, stochastic fluctuations in protein levels are attributed to two factors: intrinsic noise (i.e., the randomness associated with mRNA/protein expression and degradation) and extrinsic noise (i.e., the noise caused by fluctu...
متن کاملSynthetic feedback control using an RNAi-based gene-regulatory device
BACKGROUND Homeostasis within mammalian cells is achieved through complex molecular networks that can respond to changes within the cell or the environment and regulate the expression of the appropriate genes in response. The development of biological components that can respond to changes in the cellular environment and interface with endogenous molecules would enable more sophisticated geneti...
متن کاملA Small-Molecule Inducible Synthetic Circuit for Control of the SOS Gene Network without DNA Damage
The bacterial SOS stress-response pathway is a pro-mutagenic DNA repair system that mediates bacterial survival and adaptation to genotoxic stressors, including antibiotics and UV light. The SOS pathway is composed of a network of genes under the control of the transcriptional repressor, LexA. Activation of the pathway involves linked but distinct events: an initial DNA damage event leads to ac...
متن کاملOptimizing module matching for synthetic gene circuit design automation
An integral challenge in automated synthetic circuit design is to select the optimal set of parts to populate an abstract circuit topology, so that the circuit behavior best approximates the desired one. In some cases, it is also possible to reuse multi-part constructs, or modules that have been already built and experimentally characterized. Efficient part and module matching algorithms are es...
