Measuring retroactivity from noise in gene regulatory networks.
Synthetic gene regulatory networks show significant stochastic fluctuations in expression levels due to the low copy number of transcription factors. When a synthetic gene network is allowed to regulate a downstream network, the response time of the regulating transcription factors increases. This effect has been termed "retroactivity". In this article, we describe a method for estimating the r...
متن کاملNoise and Multistability in Gene Regulatory Networks
Proteins are the functional machinery in living cells. Proteins interact with each other and bind to DNA to form so-called gene regulatory networks and in this way regulate the level, location and timing of expression of other proteins. Cells implement feedback loops to create a memory of their gene expression states. In this way, every differentiated cell in a multicellular organism remembers ...
متن کاملIntrinsic noise in gene regulatory networks.
Cells are intrinsically noisy biochemical reactors: low reactant numbers can lead to significant statistical fluctuations in molecule numbers and reaction rates. Here we use an analytic model to investigate the emergent noise properties of genetic systems. We find for a single gene that noise is essentially determined at the translational level, and that the mean and variance of protein concent...
متن کاملMeasuring the Degree of Modularity from Gene Expression Noise in Gene Regulatory Circuits
Gene regulatory circuits show significant stochastic fluctuations in their circuit signals due to the low copy number of transcription factors. When a gene circuit component is connected to an existing circuit, the dynamic properties of the existing circuit can be affected by the connected component. In this paper, we investigate modularity in the dynamics of the gene circuit based on stochasti...
متن کاملPhenotype Accessibility and Noise in Random Threshold Gene Regulatory Networks
Evolution requires phenotypic variation in a population of organisms for selection to function. Gene regulatory processes involved in organismal development affect the phenotypic diversity of organisms. Since only a fraction of all possible phenotypes are predicted to be accessed by the end of development, organisms may evolve strategies to use environmental cues and noise-like fluctuations to ...
