Bubble lifetimes in DNA gene promoters and their mutations affecting transcription
Relative lifetimes of inherent double stranded DNA openings with lengths up to ten base pairs are presented for different gene promoters and corresponding mutants that either increase or decrease transcriptional activity, in the framework of the Peyrard-Bishop-Dauxois model. Extensive microcanonical simulations are used, with energies corresponding to physiological temperature. The bubble lifetime profiles along the DNA sequences demonstrate a significant reduction of the average lifetime at the mutation sites when the mutated promoter decreases transcription, while a corresponding enhancement of the bubble lifetime is observed in the case of mutations leading to increased transcription. The relative difference of bubble lifetimes between the mutated and the wild type promoters at the position of mutation varies from 20% to more than 30% as the bubble length is decreasing

How the Avidity of Polymerase Binding to the -35/-10 Promoter Sites Affects Gene Expression
Although the key promoter elements necessary to drive transcription in Escherichia coli have long been understood, we still cannot predict the behavior of arbitrary novel promoters, hampering our ability to characterize …
Comparison of SVM and Spectral Embedding in Promoter Biobricks' Categorizing and Clustering
Background: In organisms' genomes, promoters are short DNA sequences on the upstream of structural genes, with the function of controlling genes' transcription. Promoters can be roughly divided into two classes: constitu…
BIG-bench Machine LearningClusteringCombinatorial Limits of Transcription Factors and Gene Regulatory Networks in Development and Evolution
Gene Regulatory Networks (GRNs) consisting of combinations of transcription factors (TFs) and their cis promoters are assumed to be sufficient to direct the development of organisms. Mutations in GRNs are assumed to be t…
Deciphering the regulatory genome of $\textit{Escherichia coli}$, one hundred promoters at a time
Advances in DNA sequencing have revolutionized our ability to read genomes. However, even in the most well-studied of organisms, the bacterium ${\it Escherichia coli}$, for $\approx$ 65$\%$ of the promoters we remain com…
iPromoter-BnCNN: a Novel Branched CNN Based Predictor for Identifying and Classifying Sigma Promoters
Promoter is a short region of DNA which is responsible for initiating transcription of specific genes. Development of computational tools for automatic identification of promoters is in high demand. According to the diff…
