Journal ArticleDOI

Noise Can Induce Bimodality in Positive Transcriptional Feedback Loops Without Bistability

TL;DR: Using a synthetic system in budding yeast, it is shown that positive feedback involving a promoter with multiple transcription factor (TF) binding sites can induce a steady-state bimodal response without cooperative binding of the TF.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Molecular Model for Intercellular Synchronization in the Mammalian Circadian Clock

TL;DR: These simulations closely replicate experimental data and predict that heterogeneous oscillations arise from small differences in the molecular parameters between cells, that damped oscillators participate in entrainment and synchrony of the ensemble of cells, and that constant light desynchronizes oscillators by maximizing VIP release.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Screen for Cell Fitness in High or Low Oxygen Highlights Mitochondrial and Lipid Metabolism.

TL;DR: This resource performs genome-wide CRISPR growth screens at 21%, 5%, and 1% oxygen to systematically identify gene knockouts with relative fitness defects in high oxygen or low oxygen, and links hundreds of genes to oxygen homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Compendium of Genetic Modifiers of Mitochondrial Dysfunction Reveals Intra-organelle Buffering

TL;DR: Perhaps paradoxically, certain forms of mitochondrial dysfunction may best be buffered with "second site" inhibitors to the organelle, which benefits cells by rebalancing redox cofactors, increasing reductive carboxylation, and promoting glycolysis.
