A Toggle Switch in Plant Nitrate Uptake
In plants, the uptake of nitrate from the soil is a critical process controlled by complex regulatory networks that target nitrate transporters in the roots. In this issue, Ho et al. (2009) show that phosphorylation of the CHL1 nitrate transporter allows the plant root to sense and respond to different nitrate concentrations in the soil.
متن کاملA cholesterol toggle switch.
Cholesterol levels in mammalian cells are controlled by an intricate mechanism in which the transcription factor SREBP plays a key role. Work in this issue (Radhakrishnan et al., 2008) employing direct measurement of endoplasmic reticulum cholesterol levels offers insights into the "switch" that controls this system with surprising precision.
متن کاملNoise in Genetic Toggle Switch Models
In this paper we study the intrinsic noise effect on the switching behavior of a simple genetic circuit corresponding to the genetic toggle switch model. The numerical results obtained from a noisy mean-field model are compared to those obtained from the stochastic Gillespie simulation of the corresponding system of chemical reactions. Our results show that by using a two step reaction approach...
متن کاملAn electrically actuated molecular toggle switch
Molecular electronics is considered a promising approach for future nanoelectronic devices. In order that molecular junctions can be used as electrical switches or even memory devices, they need to be actuated between two distinct conductance states in a controlled and reproducible manner by external stimuli. Here we present a tripodal platform with a cantilever arm and a nitrile group at its e...
متن کاملThe Switch in a Genetic Toggle System with Lévy Noise
A bistable toggle switch is a paradigmatic model in the field of biology. The dynamics of the system induced by Gaussian noise has been intensively investigated, but Gaussian noise cannot incorporate large bursts typically occurring in real experiments. This paper aims to examine effects of variations from one protein imposed by a non-Gaussian Lévy noise, which is able to describe even large ju...
