摘要:

我们提出了一个随机模型耦合到DNA超螺旋的基因转录,在那里我们将实验观察聚合酶创建超螺旋,因为他们解开DNA螺旋,这些酶结合更有利的基因组解开的地区。在这个模型中,我们表明,当转录诱导的超螺旋通量增加时,有一个急剧的交叉,从一个政权,扭转应力迅速放松和基因转录是随机的,一个基因表达是高度相关的,并严格受超螺旋调控。在后一种情况下,该模型显示转录爆发,超螺旋波,和上调的分歧或双向基因。它还预测,拓扑酶放松扭曲和扭动应该提供一个途径,下调转录。这篇文章发表在Physical Review Letters,2016年5月。

英文摘要:

We propose a stochastic model for gene transcription coupled to DNA supercoiling, where we incorporate the experimental observation that polymerases create supercoiling as they unwind the DNA helix, and that these enzymes bind more favourably to regions where the genome is unwound. Within this model, we show that when the transcriptionally induced flux of supercoiling increases, there is a sharp crossover from a regime where torsional stresses relax quickly and gene transcription is random, to one where gene expression is highly correlated and tightly regulated by supercoiling. In the latter regime, the model displays transcriptional bursts, waves of supercoiling, and up-regulation of divergent or bidirectional genes. It also predicts that topological enzymes which relax twist and writhe should provide a pathway to down-regulate transcription. This article has been published in Physical Review Letters, May 2016.
