Exponential Signaling Gain at the Receptor Level Enhances Signal-to-Noise Ratio in Bacterial Chemotaxis
Cellular signaling systems show astonishing precision in their response to external stimuli despite strong fluctuations in the molecular components that determine pathway activity. To control the effects of noise on signaling most efficiently, living cells employ compensatory mechanisms that reach from simple negative feedback loops to robustly designed signaling architectures. Here, we report ...
متن کاملComment on "Signal-to-noise ratio gain in neuronal systems".
We discuss the gain in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) recently reported by Liu et al. [Phys. Rev. E 63, 051912 (2001)] in the Hodgkin-Huxley neuronal model. We show first that the possibility of signal-to-noise ratio enhancements can be checked by consideration of the statistical characteristics of switching between the system states, and we examine how the SNR depends on the shape of a periodic s...
متن کاملReceptor density balances signal stimulation and attenuation in membrane-assembled complexes of bacterial chemotaxis signaling proteins.
All cells possess transmembrane signaling systems that function in the environment of the lipid bilayer. In the Escherichia coli chemotaxis pathway, the binding of attractants to a two-dimensional array of receptors and signaling proteins simultaneously inhibits an associated kinase and stimulates receptor methylation--a slower process that restores kinase activity. These two opposing effects l...
متن کاملEffect of signal to noise ratio on the speech perception ability of older adults
Background: Speech perception ability depends on auditory and extra-auditory elements. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is an extra-auditory element that has an effect on the ability to normally follow speech and maintain a conversation. Speech in noise perception difficulty is a common complaint of the elderly. In this study, the importance of SNR magnitude as an extra-auditory effect on speech...
متن کاملBacterial chemotaxis and the question of gain.
T devil was always in the details. But as we accumulate more and more quantitative data on living cells, those diabolical details become increasingly finicky and numerical. Small differences that we would have cheerfully disregarded a decade ago as being due to ‘‘experimental error’’ or ‘‘differences in technique’’ suddenly become crucial—the nub of debate if not controversy. Sometimes, even, t...
