Noise processing by microRNA-mediated circuits: The Incoherent Feed-Forward Loop, revisited
The intrinsic stochasticity of gene expression is usually mitigated in higher eukaryotes by post-transcriptional regulation channels that stabilise the output layer, most notably protein levels. The discovery of small non-coding RNAs (miRNAs) in specific motifs of the genetic regulatory network has led to identifying noise buffering as the possible key function they exert in regulation. Recent ...
متن کاملOn the functional properties of microRNA-mediated feed forward loops
Motivation: Recent studies of genomic-scale regulatory networks suggested that a feed-forward loop (FFL) circuitry is a key component of many such networks. This led to a study of the functional properties of different FFL types, where the regulatory elements are transcription factors. Results: Here we investigate these properties when the mediating regulatory element of the loop is a microRNA....
متن کاملBCL-3 Attenuation of TNFA Expression Involves an Incoherent Feed-Forward Loop Regulated by Chromatin Structure
Induction of genes is rarely an isolated event; more typically occurring as part of a web of parallel interactions, or motifs, which act to refine and control gene expression. Here, we define an Incoherent Feed-forward Loop motif in which TNFα-induced NF-κB signalling activates expression of the TNFA gene itself and also controls synthesis of the negative regulator BCL-3. While sharing a common...
متن کاملThe incoherent feed-forward loop accelerates the response-time of the gal system of Escherichia coli.
Complex gene regulation networks are made of simple recurring gene circuits called network motifs. One of the most common network motifs is the incoherent type-1 feed-forward loop (I1-FFL), in which a transcription activator activates a gene directly, and also activates a repressor of the gene. Mathematical modeling suggested that the I1-FFL can show two dynamical features: a transient pulse of...
متن کاملThe incoherent feed-forward loop can generate non-monotonic input functions for genes
Gene regulation networks contain recurring circuit patterns called network motifs. One of the most common network motif is the incoherent type 1 feed-forward loop (I1-FFL), in which an activator controls both gene and repressor of that gene. This motif was shown to act as a pulse generator and response accelerator of gene expression. Here we consider an additional function of this motif: the I1...
