摘要:

拴系颗粒实验使用光学显微镜来测量通过~微米长度的聚合物拴系到显微镜载玻片的微米大小的珠的位置,以推断不可见聚合物的行为。目前,该方法用于测量由结合到DNA的阻遏蛋白介导的DNA环形成和分解的速率常数。我们报告了一种新的技术,用于测量这些速率使用修改后的隐马尔可夫分析,直接结合了珠,这是一个固有的复杂性拴系粒子运动的扩散运动,因为它发生在采样频率和循环时间之间的时间尺度上。我们比较循环寿命发现与我们的方法,这是一致的采样频率范围内,通过传统的阈值交叉分析,这取决于如何在时域中过滤的原始数据而得到的。我们的方法不涉及这样的过滤,因此可以检测到短暂的循环事件和循环行为的突然变化。

英文摘要:

Tethered particle experiments use light microscopy to measure the position of a micrometer-sized bead tethered to a microscope slide via a ~micrometer length polymer, in order to infer the behavior of the invisible polymer. Currently, this method is used to measure rate constants of DNA loop formation and breakdown mediated by repressor protein that binds to the DNA. We report a new technique for measuring these rates using a modified hidden Markov analysis that directly incorporates the diffusive motion of the bead, which is an inherent complication of tethered particle motion because it occurs on a time scale between the sampling frequency and the looping time. We compare looping lifetimes found with our method, which are consistent over a range of sampling frequencies, to those obtained via the traditional threshold-crossing analysis, which vary depending on how the raw data are filtered in the time domain. Our method does not involve such filtering, and so can detect short-lived looping events and sudden changes in looping behavior.
