Optimal implementations for reliable circadian clocks.
Circadian rhythms are acquired through evolution to increase the chances for survival through synchronizing with the daylight cycle. Reliable synchronization is realized through two trade-off properties: regularity to keep time precisely, and entrainability to synchronize the internal time with daylight. We find by using a phase model with multiple inputs that achieving the maximal limit of reg...
متن کاملOptimal entrainment of circadian clocks in the presence of noise
Circadian clocks are biochemical oscillators that allow organisms to estimate the time of the day. These oscillators are inherently noisy due to the discrete nature of the reactants and the stochastic character of their interactions. To keep these oscillators in sync with the daily day-night rhythm in the presence of noise, circadian clocks must be coupled to the dark-light cycle. In this manus...
متن کاملRNA Structural Determinants of Optimal Codons Revealed by MAGE-Seq.
Synonymous codon choices at the beginning of genes optimize 5' RNA structures for enhanced translation initiation, but less is known about mechanisms that drive codon optimization downstream within the gene. To understand what determines codon choices across a gene, we generated 12,726 in situ codon mutants in the Escherichia coli essential gene infA and measured their fitness by combining mult...
متن کاملMelatonin Signaling Controls the Daily Rhythm in Blood Glucose Levels Independent of Peripheral Clocks
Melatonin is rhythmically secreted by both the pineal gland and retina in a circadian fashion, with its peak synthesis occurring during the night. Once synthesized, melatonin exerts its effects by binding to two specific G-protein coupled receptors-melatonin receptor type 1(MT1) and melatonin receptor type 2(MT2). Recent studies suggest the involvement of MT1 and MT2 in the regulation of glucos...
متن کاملOptimal and E cient Clock Synchronization Under Drifting Clocks
We consider the classical problem of clock synchronization in distributed systems. Previously, this problem was solved optimally and e ciently only in the case when all individual clocks are non-drifting, i.e., only for systems where all clocks advance at the rate of real time. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for systems with drifting clocks, which is the rst optimal algorithm to solv...
