Theoretical knock-outs on biological networks.
In this work we redefine the concept of biological importance and how to compute it, based on a model of complex networks and random walk. We call this new procedure, theoretical knock-out (KO). The proposed method generalizes the procedure presented in a recent study about Oral Tolerance. To devise this method, we make two approaches: algebraically and algorithmically. In both cases we compute...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of protein kinase networks in living cells: beyond "knock-outs" and "knock-downs".
The identification of over 500 protein kinases encoded by the human genome sequence offers one measure of the importance of protein kinase networks in cell biology. High throughput technologies for inactivating genes are producing an awe-inspiring amount of data on the cellular and organismal effects of reducing the levels of individual protein kinases. Despite these technical advances, our und...
متن کاملHG-GAM KNOCK-OUTS 1 Running head: HB-GAM KNOCK-OUTS Neuroanatomical Characteristics of Mice Deficient in Heparin Binding Growth Associated Molecule (HB-GAM)
Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) is a categorical term used to classify disorders in which the patient suffers deficits in three main domains: language, behavior and social skills. Heparin Binding Growth Associated Molecule (HB-GAM) is an extracellular protein involved in neurite outgrowth and radial migration. Mice deficient in HB-GAM demonstrate deficits in cognition, behavior and socia...
متن کاملModel-based Predictions of the Influence of Circadian Clock Genes Knock-Outs on the Cell Cycle
The existence of links between the cell division cycle and the circadian clock has been recently discovered. In this research report, we perform a small in silico analysis of how mutations on the clock genes composing the mammalian circadian clock affect the phenotype of the cell cycle. For this purpose, we use a coupled model of the mammalian circadian clock and the mammalian cell cycle where ...
متن کاملA new kinetic framework for synaptic vesicle trafficking tested in synapsin knock-outs.
At least two rate-limiting mechanisms in vesicle trafficking operate at mouse Schaffer collateral synapses, but their molecular/physical identities are unknown. The first mechanism determines the baseline rate at which reserve vesicles are supplied to a readily releasable pool. The second causes the supply rate to depress threefold when synaptic transmission is driven hard for extended periods....
