遗传冗余增强噪声调节回路中的信息传递

Genetic redundancies enhance information transfer in noisy regulatory circuits

Guillermo Rodrigo, Juan F. Poyatos

摘要:

细胞决策是基于将信号阈值与特定生理动作相关联的调节电路。这种信息的传输受到分子噪声的影响,这会降低其保真度。在这里,我们将展示如何,而不是这样的固有噪声增强信息传输中存在的多个电路副本。其结果是由于噪声对每个副本产生的自主响应的贡献,这些响应与共同的决策相关联。此外,与冗余单元的响应相关的因素(外在噪声或调节串扰)有助于降低保真度,而那些进一步使它们分离的因素(副本内的异质性)可以导致更强的信息增益。总的来说,我们的研究强调了信号阈值,冗余和噪声的相互作用如何影响细胞决策的准确性。理解这种相互作用为解释集体细胞信号转导机制提供了基础,并为设计具有噪声遗传电路的稳健决策提供了基础。

英文摘要:

Cellular decision making is based on regulatory circuits that associate signal thresholds to specific physiological actions. This transmission of information is subjected to molecular noise what can decrease its fidelity. Here, we show instead how such intrinsic noise enhances information transfer in the presence of multiple circuit copies. The result is due to the contribution of noise to the generation of autonomous responses by each copy, which are altogether associated with a common decision. Moreover, factors that correlate the responses of the redundant units (extrinsic noise or regulatory cross-talk) contribute to reduce fidelity, while those that further uncouple them (heterogeneity within the copies) can lead to stronger information gain. Overall, our study emphasizes how the interplay of signal thresholding, redundancy, and noise influences the accuracy of cellular decision making. Understanding this interplay provides a basis to explain collective cell signaling mechanisms, and to engineer robust decisions with noisy genetic circuits.
