Gene network requirements for regulation of metabolic gene expression to a desired state
Gene circuits that control metabolism should restore metabolic functions upon environmental changes. Whether gene networks are capable of steering metabolism to optimal states is an open question. Here we present a method to identify such optimal gene networks. We show that metabolic network optimisation over a range of environments results in an input-output relationship for the gene network t...
متن کاملMetabolic regulation and gene expression during aestivation.
The biochemical regulation of aestivation, a state of aerobic hypometabolism, achieves actions including strong overall suppression of metabolic rate, reprioritization of energy use by diverse cell functions, and enhancement of defenses such as protein chaperones and antioxidants that aid long-term life extension. This is accomplished by mechanisms that include differential action of intracellu...
متن کاملRegulation of gene expression by a metabolic enzyme.
Gene expression in eukaryotes is normally believed to be controlled by transcriptional regulators that activate genes encoding structural proteins and enzymes. To identify previously unrecognized DNA binding activities, a yeast proteome microarray was screened with DNA probes; Arg5,6, a well-characterized mitochondrial enzyme involved in arginine biosynthesis, was identified. Chromatin immunopr...
متن کاملDissecting Cis Regulation of Gene Expression in Human Metabolic Tissues
Complex diseases such as obesity and type II diabetes can result from a failure in multiple organ systems including the central nervous system and tissues involved in partitioning and disposal of nutrients. Studying the genetics of gene expression in tissues that are involved in the development of these diseases can provide insights into how these tissues interact within the context of disease....
متن کاملRegulation of Gene Expression
For all living cells, regulation of gene expression by extracellular signals is a fundamental mechanism of development, homeostasis, and adaptation to the environment. Indeed, the ultimate step in many signal transduction pathways is the modification of transcription factors that can alter the expression of specific genes. Thus, neurotransmitters, growth factors, and drugs are all capable of al...
