Outline
Backgrounds The lactose utilization network Deterministic model Deterministic model & Noise Stochastic model The lactose utilization network + lactose metabolism
Backgrounds:
Regulatory network: regulatory system that consists of a collection of nodes, pairs of which are connected by links.
Feedback loops: a cyclic chain of links in a regulatory network. Positive feedback loops: self-activation or double negative
feedback. Multistability: the capacity to achieve multiple internal states
in response to a single set of external inputs. Biological switch: cell fate, cell-cycle oscillations.
The lactose utilization networkTwo external inputs: Glucose & TMG(thio-methylgalactoside)TMG: a non-metabolizable lactose analogue.
Red lines: regulatory interactions.Black arrows: protein creation through transcription and translation.Dotted arrows: uptake process
Operon: promoter + expressible genes
The lactose utilization network and reportor system
GFP: green fluorescent protein, expressed at the lac promoter. HcRed: red fluorescent protein,expressed at the gat promoter.
LacY catalyses the uptake of TMG, which induces further expression of LacY, resulting in a positive feedback.
Bi-stability !!!Two transcriptional regulators:LacI: a repressor.CRP: an activator.
Experimental results:
b. Behavior of a large cell population c. The phase diagram describing the state of the lactose utilization network in wild-type cells
Deterministic model
ρ: dissociation constant of LacI from its main DNA-binding site.
ρ=1+RT/R0 : describes how tightly LacI is able to regulate the expression of the lac operon.
