Stochasticity of gene products from transcriptional pulsing.
Transcriptional pulsing has been observed in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and plays a crucial role in cell-to-cell variability of protein and mRNA numbers. An important issue is how the time constants associated with episodes of transcriptional bursting and mRNA and protein degradation rates lead to different cellular mRNA and protein distributions, starting from the transient regime leading...
متن کاملTranscriptional pulsing and consequent stochasticity in gene expression
Transcriptional pulsing has been observed in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes and plays a crucial role in cell to cell variability of protein and mRNA numbers. The issue is how the time constants associated with episodes of transcriptional bursting impact cellular mRNA and protein distributions and reciprocally, to what extent experimentally observed distributions can be attributed to transcript...
متن کاملTranscriptional Pulsing of a Developmental Gene
It has not been possible to view the transcriptional activity of a single gene within a living eukaryotic cell. It is therefore unclear how long and how frequently a gene is actively transcribed, how this is modulated during differentiation, and how transcriptional events are dynamically coordinated in cell populations. By means of an in vivo RNA detection technique , we have directly visualize...
متن کاملTranscriptional stochasticity in gene expression.
Due to the small number of copies of molecular species involved, such as DNA, mRNA and regulatory proteins, gene expression is a stochastic phenomenon. In eukaryotic cells, the stochastic effects primarily originate in regulation of gene activity. Transcription can be initiated by a single transcription factor binding to a specific regulatory site in the target gene. Stochasticity of transcript...
متن کاملTranscriptional pulsing of a nucleolar transgene
The pulsatile nature of transcription has recently emerged as an important property of gene expression. Here we report on the characterization of a RNA polymerase II transgene that is transcribed in the nucleolus. Using the MS2-GFP reporter system and live cell imaging, we found that the synthesis of a MS2-tagged transcript in the nucleolus was discontinuous in all of the cells that were observ...
