Interplay between gene expression noise and regulatory network architecture

TLDR
How the interplay between expression noise and gene regulatory network impacts a variety of phenomena, such as pathogenicity, disease, adaptation to changing environments, differential cell-fate outcome and incomplete or partial penetrance effects is considered.

On the Dependency of Cellular Protein Levels on mRNA Abundance.

TL;DR: It is concluded that transcript levels by themselves are not sufficient to predict protein levels in many scenarios and to thus explain genotype-phenotype relationships and that high-quality data quantifying different levels of gene expression are indispensable for the complete understanding of biological processes.

Noise in biology

TL;DR: This short review covers the recent progress in understanding mechanisms and effects of fluctuations in biological systems of different scales and the basic approaches to their mathematical modeling.

Biofilm-associated persistence of food-borne pathogens.

TL;DR: The present review focuses on the principal mechanisms involved in the formation of biofilms of food-borne pathogens, where biofilm behaviour is driven by its three-dimensional heterogeneity and by species interactions within these biostructures, and the authors look at some emergent control strategies.

Bursty gene expression in the intact mammalian liver.

TL;DR: Temporal averaging and liver polyploidy dampen the intrinsic variability associated with transcriptional bursts in mammalian tissues, and this approach can be used to study transcriptional bursting in diverse mammalian tissues.

Global quantification of mammalian gene expression control

TL;DR: Using a quantitative model, the first genome-scale prediction of synthesis rates of mRNAs and proteins is obtained and it is found that the cellular abundance of proteins is predominantly controlled at the level of translation.

Stochastic Gene Expression in a Single Cell

TL;DR: This work constructed strains of Escherichia coli that enable detection of noise and discrimination between the two mechanisms by which it is generated and reveals how low intracellular copy numbers of molecules can fundamentally limit the precision of gene regulation.

A novel multigene family may encode odorant receptors: A molecular basis for odor recognition

TL;DR: This work has cloned and characterized 18 different members of an extremely large multigene family that encodes seven transmembrane domain proteins whose expression is restricted to the olfactory epithelium and is likely to encode a diverse family of odorant receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

A synthetic oscillatory network of transcriptional regulators

TL;DR: This work used three transcriptional repressor systems that are not part of any natural biological clock to build an oscillating network, termed the repressilator, in Escherichia coli, which periodically induces the synthesis of green fluorescent protein as a readout of its state in individual cells.

Network motifs: theory and experimental approaches

TL;DR: Network motifs are reviewed, suggesting that they serve as basic building blocks of transcription networks, including signalling and neuronal networks, in diverse organisms from bacteria to humans.
