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

Beyond homeostasis: A predictive-dynamic framework for understanding cellular behavior
TL;DR: The breadth of recent discoveries of cellular behavior extending beyond the homeostatic framework is summarized, and it is argued that the nonrandom structure of native habitats makes environmental fluctuations inherently multidimensional.

TL;DR: This work confine cell-free gene expression reactions to cell-relevant 20 fL volumes (between the volumes of Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ), in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) containers, and demonstrates that expression efficiency varies widely among different containers, likely due to non-Poisson distribution of expression machinery at the observed scale.

A mechanistic link between cellular trade-offs, gene expression and growth
TL;DR: This model couples gene expression with growth rate and growth rate with a growing population of cells and recovers Monod's law for the growth of microbes and two other empirical relationships connecting growth rate to the mass fraction of ribosomes are recovered.

Quantifying gene expression variability arising from randomness in cell division times.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate how randomness in the cell division times can create variability in population counts and show that randomness can be a major factor in driving difference in protein levels across a population of cells.

TL;DR: Oxygen gradients in uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) biofilms lead to spatially distinct expression programs for quinol oxidases—components of the terminal electron transport chain, which point toward a bet-hedging mechanism in which heterogeneous expression of respiratory complexes ensures respiratory plasticity of E. coli across diverse host niches.
