Combinatorial Gene Regulation Using Auto-Regulation
As many as 59% of the transcription factors in Escherichia coli regulate the transcription rate of their own genes. This suggests that auto-regulation has one or more important functions. Here, one possible function is studied. Often the transcription rate of an auto-regulator is also controlled by additional transcription factors. In these cases, the way the expression of the auto-regulator re...
متن کاملcomparing cerebral blood flow auto regulation in
introduction : cerebral autoregulation (ca) and mean cerebral blood flow velocity in males and females are still under controversy. the present study was scheduled to address the effect of sex on these parameters. materials and methods : the present study was interventional and performed on 30 healthy volunteers (15 males aging from 20-30 yrs and mean age of 23.9±3 years old and 15 females agin...
متن کاملCombinatorial gene regulation in Plasmodium falciparum.
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has a complicated life cycle with large variations in its gene expression pattern, but it contains relatively few specific transcriptional regulators. To elucidate this paradox, we identified regulatory sequences, using an approach that integrates the sequence conservation among species and the correlation in mRNA expression within a species. Our analy...
متن کاملCombinatorial gene regulation by eukaryotic transcription factors.
Recent structure determinations of high order complexes of eukaryotic transcription factors bound to DNA have revealed that residues from their DNA-binding domains are involved in protein-protein interactions between distinct factors. Protein-protein interactions between transactivation domains and coactivators have also been characterized in a number of recently determined structures. These st...
متن کاملEvolution of gene auto-regulation in the presence of noise.
Auto-regulatory negative feedback loops, where the protein expressed from a gene inhibits its own expression are common gene network motifs within cells. We investigate when will introducing a negative feedback mechanism be beneficial in terms of increasing a fitness function that is given by the probability of maintaining protein numbers above a critical threshold. Our results show the existen...
