Transcriptional regulation: contending with complexity.
Regulation of gene expression is fundamental to biological systems, and much of this occurs at the level of transcription initiation. Consider the complexity of the transcriptional regulatory problem in the simple eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Approximately 200 transcriptional activators are thought to be responsible for regulation of 6,200 genes (Fig. 1). At each gene, activators interac...
متن کاملMicroRNAs preferentially target the genes with high transcriptional regulation complexity.
Over the past few years, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as a new prominent class of gene regulatory factors that negatively regulate expression of approximately one-third of the genes in animal genomes at post-transcriptional level. However, it is still unclear why some genes are regulated by miRNAs but others are not, i.e. what principles govern miRNA regulation in animal genomes. In this stu...
متن کاملContending with Complexity: The Role of Evaluation in Implementing Sustainable Natural Resource Management
Three case studies show that natural resource management (NRM) research aimed at sustainably improving the well-being of African small-holder farmers is complex, and that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is an essential tool in coping with this complexity, supported by an ‘innovation systems’ view of the adoption process. In the case studies, researchers adjusted their activities and outputs on ...
متن کاملAdaptation with transcriptional regulation
Biochemical adaptation is one of the basic functions that are widely implemented in biological systems for a variety of purposes such as signal sensing, stress response and homeostasis. The adaptation time scales span from milliseconds to days, involving different regulatory machineries in different processes. The adaptive networks with enzymatic regulation (ERNs) have been investigated in deta...
متن کاملContending with Complexity: the Development and Use of Scaled Worlds as Research Tools
Complex, real-world behavior takes place in complex, real-world environments. Efforts to study cognition in such environments can be hampered by difficulty in accurately tracking information flow. This problem may be tackled by studying task performance in the context of a scaled world-an abstracted version of the task environment designed to elucidate information flow while maintaining the cri...
