Stochastic kinetics of the circular gene hypothesis: feedback effects and protein fluctuations
Stochastic kinetic models of genetic expression are able to describe protein fluctuations. A comparative study of the canonical and a feedback model is given here by using stochastic simulation methods. The feedback model is skeleton model implementation of the circular gene hypothesis, which suggests the interaction between the synthesis and degradation of mRNA. Qualitative and quantitative changes in the shape and in the numerical characteristics of the stationary distributions suggest that more combined experimental and theoretical studies should be done to uncover the details of the kinetic mechanism of gene expression.

Exact power spectrum in a minimal hybrid model of stochastic gene expression oscillations
Stochastic oscillations in individual cells are usually characterized by a non-monotonic power spectrum with an oscillatory autocorrelation function. Here we develop an analytical approach of stochastic oscillations in a…
Stochastic epigenetic dynamics of gene switching
Epigenetic modifications of histones crucially affect the eukaryotic gene activity, while the epigenetic histone state is largely determined by the binding of specific factors such as the transcription factors (TFs) to D…
Decision MakingSingle-cell stochastic gene expression kinetics with coupled positive-plus-negative feedback
Here we investigate single-cell stochastic gene expression kinetics in a minimal coupled gene circuit with positive-plus-negative feedback. A triphasic stochastic bifurcation upon the increasing ratio of the positive and…
Cell motility modes are selected by the interplay of mechanosensitive adhesion and membrane tension
The initiation of directional cell motion requires symmetry breaking that can happen both with or without external stimuli. During cell crawling, forces generated by the cytoskeleton and their transmission through mechan…
Gene length as a regulator for ribosome recruitment and protein synthesis: theoretical insights
Protein synthesis rates are determined, at the translational level, by properties of the transcript's sequence. The efficiency of an mRNA can be tuned by varying the ribosome binding sites controlling the recruitment of …
