TLDR
System-wide analyses of protein and mRNA expression in individual cells with single-molecule sensitivity using a newly constructed yellow fluorescent protein fusion library for Escherichia coli found that almost all protein number distributions can be described by the gamma distribution with two fitting parameters which, at low expression levels, have clear physical interpretations as the transcription rate and protein burst size.Abstract:
Protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) copy numbers vary from cell to cell in isogenic bacterial populations. However, these molecules often exist in low copy numbers and are difficult to detect in single cells. We carried out quantitative system-wide analyses of protein and mRNA expression in individual cells with single-molecule sensitivity using a newly constructed yellow fluorescent protein fusion library for Escherichia coli. We found that almost all protein number distributions can be described by the gamma distribution with two fitting parameters which, at low expression levels, have clear physical interpretations as the transcription rate and protein burst size. At high expression levels, the distributions are dominated by extrinsic noise. We found that a single cell's protein and mRNA copy numbers for any given gene are uncorrelated.read more

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that changes in microbial element cycling along the Amazon River Plume are largely driven by shifting activities of particle-associated cells, with most activities peaking in the mesohaline regions where N2 fixation rates are elevated.

The Chemical Fluctuation Theorem governing gene expression
Seong Jun Park,Sanggeun Song,Gil-Suk Yang,Philip M. Kim,Sangwoon Yoon,Ji-Hyun Kim,Jaeyoung Sung +6 more
TL;DR: The Chemical Fluctuation Theorem is presented, providing an accurate relationship between the environment-coupled chemical dynamics of gene expression and gene expression variability, and allowing analytical prediction of the dependence of mRNA noise on mRNA lifetime variability.

Adiabatic reduction of a model of stochastic gene expression with jump Markov process
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered adiabatic reduction in a model of stochastic gene expression with bursting transcription considered as a jump Markov process and showed that, with appropriate scalings in the burst rate, jump size or translational rate, the bursting phenomena can be transmitted to the slow variable.

The reduction of gene expression variability from single cells to populations follows simple statistical laws.
Vincent Piras,Kumar Selvarajoo +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that transcriptome-wide variability reduces, approximating the law of large numbers, and the entire gene expressions of cell populations and only the highly expressed portion of single cells are Gaussian distributed, following the central limit theorem.

Stochastic modelling reveals mechanisms of metabolic heterogeneity
TL;DR: In this article, a stochastic model is proposed to show that complex forms of metabolic heterogeneity emerge from fluctuations in enzyme expression and catalysis, and the model predicts clonal populations to split into two or more metabolically distinct subpopulations.

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.
