Bifurcation Analysis for Phage Lambda with Binding Energy Uncertainty
In a phage λ genetic switch model, bistable dynamical behavior can be destroyed due to the bifurcation caused by inappropriately chosen model parameters. Since the values of many parameters with biological significance often cannot be accurately acquired, it is thus of fundamental importance to analyze how and to which extent the system dynamics is influenced by model parameters, especially tho...
متن کاملStochastic kinetic analysis of developmental pathway bifurcation in phage lambda-infected Escherichia coli cells.
Fluctuations in rates of gene expression can produce highly erratic time patterns of protein production in individual cells and wide diversity in instantaneous protein concentrations across cell populations. When two independently produced regulatory proteins acting at low cellular concentrations competitively control a switch point in a pathway, stochastic variations in their concentrations ca...
متن کاملStability puzzles in phage lambda.
In the absence of RecA-mediated cleavage of the repressor, the lambda prophage is exceptionally stable. We develop a stochastic model that predicts the stability of such epigenetic states from affinities of the molecular components. We find that the stability, in particular, depends on the maximum possible cI protein production, and on the number of translated cro proteins per transcribed mRNA....
متن کاملWhat has phage lambda ever done for us?
Shortly after the dawn of biochemical genetics, Escherichia coli K-12 replaced Neurospora crassa as the key model organism. With E. coli K-12 came another, even simpler, system: each bacterial cell contained a dormant virus (bacteriophage) called lambda (λ). Occasionally, the quiescent λ genome was activated to generate free phage particles. Thus it was discovered that phage λ propagates by two...
متن کاملA programme for the construction of a lambda phage.
Infection of a sensitive host by the lambdoid coliphages can cause death of the bacterial cell by lysis or can lead to a lysogenic cell, with the viral DNA stably integrated into the host chromosome. These alternative responses both require the coordination of several host and phage functions, and lambda infection follows a well controlled developmental plan. The lytic and lysogenic pathways of...
