Noise Facilitates Transcriptional Control under Dynamic Inputs
Cells must respond sensitively to time-varying inputs in complex signaling environments. To understand how signaling networks process dynamic inputs into gene expression outputs and the role of noise in cellular information processing, we studied the immune pathway NF-κB under periodic cytokine inputs using microfluidic single-cell measurements and stochastic modeling. We find that NF-κB dynami...
متن کاملKeeping Transcriptional Activators under Control
Transcriptional activators need to be modulated and eventually switched off after the initial event that triggers their activation. Here, we discuss how ubiquitination of activators and their proteasome-mediated turnover are crucial steps in this process.
متن کاملTranscriptional control of noise in gene expression.
Cis-regulatory control of transcription is the dominant form of regulation of gene expression. Recent experimental results suggest that, in addition to the mean expression level, cell-to-cell variability might also be transcriptionally regulated. Here, we develop a stochastic model of transcriptional regulation that allows us to calculate closed-form analytical expressions for the mean and vari...
متن کاملTranscriptional Coactivator CBP Facilitates Transcription Initiation and Reinitiation of HTLV-I and Cyclin D2 Promoter
HTLV-I is the etiologic agent for adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP). Taxi, the major activator of this virus, is a 40- kDa (353 amino acid) phosphoprotein, predominantly localized in the nucleus of the host cell, which functions to trans-activate both viral and cellular promoters. Recently it has been shown that HTLV-I a...
متن کاملA SNF2-like protein facilitates dynamic control of DNA methylation.
DRD1 is a SNF2-like protein previously identified in a screen for mutants defective in RNA-directed DNA methylation of a seed promoter in Arabidopsis. Although the initial study established a role for DRD1 in RNA-directed DNA methylation, it did not address whether DRD1 is needed for de novo or maintenance methylation, or whether it is required for methylation of other target sequences. We show...
