小RNA调控下突发性基因表达中噪声的定量

Quantifying the noise in bursty gene expression under regulation by small RNAs

Shigang Qiu, Tao Jia

摘要:

基因表达是生命系统的基本过程。小分子RNA(small RNAs,sRNAs)是广泛观察到的基因表达的全局调节因子。这种调节过程中固有的非线性以及信使RNA(mRNA)、sRNA和蛋白质的突发性产生使得这种随机过程的精确解变得棘手。当量化蛋白质噪声水平时尤其如此,这对多个细胞过程有很大影响。在这里,我们提出了一个近似的,但相当准确的解决方案的基因表达噪音与罕见的突发和强烈的调节sRNA。该解析解使我们能够更好地分析蛋白质水平的噪声和随机偏差。我们发现这种调节放大了噪音,降低了蛋白质水平。调节中的随机性产生的蛋白质比从系统中去除随机性产生的蛋白质多。sRNA水平对噪声和随机偏差之间的关系是最重要的。这些结果为基因表达的更一般性研究提供了分析工具,并加强了我们对控制基因表达过程中转录后调控的定量理解。

英文摘要:

Gene expression is a fundamental process in a living system. The small RNAs (sRNAs) is widely observed as a global regulator in gene expression. The inherent nonlinearity in this regulatory process together with the bursty production of messenger RNA (mRNA), sRNA and protein make the exact solution for this stochastic process intractable. This is particularly the case when quantifying the protein noise level, which has great impact on multiple cellular processes. Here we propose an approximate yet reasonably accurate solution for the gene expression noise with infrequent burst and strong regulation by sRNAs. This analytical solution allows us to better analyze the noise and stochastic deviation of protein level. We find that the regulation amplifies the noise, reduces the protein level. The stochasticity in the regulation generates more proteins than what if the stochasticity is removed from the system. The sRNA level is most important to the relationship between the noise and stochastic deviation. The results provide analytical tools for more general studies of gene expression and strengthen our quantitative understandings of post-transcriptional regulation in controlling gene expression processes.
