Biological Sources of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Noise in cI Expression of Lysogenic Phage Lambda
Genetically identical cells exposed to homogeneous environment can show remarkable phenotypic difference. To predict how phenotype is shaped, understanding of how each factor contributes is required. During gene expression processes, noise could arise either intrinsically in biochemical processes of gene expression or extrinsically from other cellular processes such as cell growth. In this work...
متن کاملStability and instability in the lysogenic state of phage lambda.
Complex gene regulatory circuits exhibit emergent properties that are difficult to predict from the behavior of the components. One such property is the stability of regulatory states. Here we analyze the stability of the lysogenic state of phage λ. In this state, the virus maintains a stable association with the host, and the lytic functions of the virus are repressed by the viral CI repressor...
متن کاملSolitons and Physics of the Lysogenic to Lytic Transition in Enterobacteria Lambda Phage
The lambda phage is a paradigm temperate bacteriophage. Its lysogenic and lytic life cycles echo competition between the DNA binding CI and CRO proteins. Here we address the Physics of this transition in terms of an energy function that portrays the backbone as a multi-soliton configuration. The precision of the individual solitons far exceeds the B-factor accuracy of the experimentally determi...
متن کاملTranscription termination and late control in phage lambda.
A transcription termination site occurs between the promoter for late gene expression of bacteriophage lambda and the late genes themselves. It is proposed that the lambda Q gene product controls late gene expression by over-coming this termination barrier.
متن کاملWhy the lysogenic state of phage lambda is so stable: a mathematical modeling approach.
We develop a mathematical model of the phage lambda lysis/lysogeny switch, taking into account recent experimental evidence demonstrating enhanced cooperativity between the left and right operator regions. Model parameters are estimated from available experimental data. The model is shown to have a single stable steady state for these estimated parameter values, and this steady state correspond...
