RNA polymerase motors: dwell time distribution, velocity and dynamical phases
Polymerization of RNA from a template DNA is carried out by a molecular machine called RNA polymerase (RNAP). It also uses the template as a track on which it moves as a motor utilizing chemical energy input. The time it spends at each successive monomer of DNA is random; we derive the exact distribution of these “dwell times” in our model. The inverse of the mean dwell time satisfies a Michael...
متن کاملDwell time symmetry in random walks and molecular motors.
The statistics of steps and dwell times in reversible molecular motors differ from those of cycle completion in enzyme kinetics. The reason is that a step is only one of several transitions in the mechanochemical cycle. As a result, theoretical results for cycle completion in enzyme kinetics do not apply to stepping data. To allow correct parameter estimation, and to guide data analysis and exp...
متن کاملForce and velocity measured for single molecules of RNA polymerase.
RNA polymerase (RNAP) moves along DNA while carrying out transcription, acting as a molecular motor. Transcriptional velocities for single molecules of Escherichia coli RNAP were measured as progressively larger forces were applied by a feedback-controlled optical trap. The shapes of RNAP force-velocity curves are distinct from those of the motor enzymes myosin or kinesin, and indicate that bio...
متن کاملDwell Time Refinement
The abstraction of a hybrid system by eliminating one or more of its continuous variables is in general too coarse. In this situation, dwell time refinement may be useful. The idea is to impose explicit constraints on the time that may resp. must be spent (or “dwelled”) between successive mode switches. We show how the required constraints can be inferred automatically (with acceptable cost). T...
متن کاملEnhancement of RNA Interference Effect in P19 EC Cells by an RNA-dependent RNA Polymerase
Background: RNA interference (RNAi) is a phenomenon uses double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) to specifically inhibit gene expression. The non-specific silencing caused by interferon response to dsRNA in mammalian cells limits the potential of utilizing RNAi to study gene function. Duplexes of 21-nucleotide short interfering dsRNA (siRNA) inhibit gene expression by RNAi. In some organisms, siRNA can als...
