Extending the linear-noise approximation to biochemical systems influenced by intrinsic noise and slow lognormally distributed extrinsic noise
It is well known that the kinetics of an intracellular biochemical network is stochastic. This is due to intrinsic noise arising from the random timing of biochemical reactions in the network as well as due to extrinsic noise stemming from the interaction of unknown molecular components with the network and from the cell's changing environment. While there are many methods to study the effect of intrinsic noise on the system dynamics, few exist to study the influence of both types of noise. Here we show how one can extend the conventional linear-noise approximation to allow for the rapid evaluation of the molecule numbers statistics of a biochemical network influenced by intrinsic noise and by slow lognormally distributed extrinsic noise. The theory is applied to simple models of gene regulatory networks and its validity confirmed by comparison with exact stochastic simulations. In particular we show how extrinsic noise modifies the dependence of the variance of the molecule number fluctuations on the rate constants, the mutual information between input and output signalling molecules and the robustness of feed-forward loop motifs.
