Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps01:23

Regulation of Expression at Multiple Steps

1.5K
The gene expression in cells is regulated at different stages: (i) transcription, (ii) RNA processing, (iii) RNA localization, and (iv) translation. Transcriptional regulation is mediated by regulatory proteins such as transcription factors, activators, or repressors—these control gene expression by initiating or inhibiting the transcription of genes. Once a precursor or pre-mRNA is produced, it undergoes post-transcriptional modification, including 5' capping, splicing, and the...

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways01:19

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

7.9K
Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...

Regulation of Expression Occurs at Multiple Steps

27.2K
Gene expression can be regulated at almost every step from gene to protein. Transcription is the step that is most commonly regulated. This involves the binding of proteins to short regulatory sequences on the DNA. This association can either promote or inhibit the transcription of a gene associated with the respective sequence.
Transcription results in the generation of precursor (pre-mRNA) that consists of both exons and introns, which needs further processing before being translated to a...

Epistasis Analysis01:09

Epistasis Analysis

6.2K
Although Mendel chose seven unrelated traits in peas to study gene segregation, most traits involve multiple gene interactions that create a spectrum of phenotypes. When the interaction of various genes or alleles at different locations influences a phenotype, this is called epistasis. Epistasis often involves one gene masking or interfering with the expression of another (antagonistic epistasis). Epistasis often occurs when different genes are part of the same biochemical pathway. The...

Indirect Motor Pathways01:22

Indirect Motor Pathways

3.9K
The indirect motor or extrapyramidal pathways originate in the brainstem, the lower portion of the brain that connects it to the spinal cord. They consist of several distinct tracts, each with specialized functions. The four main tracts of the indirect motor pathways are the vestibulospinal tract, the reticulospinal tract, the tectospinal tract, and the rubrospinal tract.
The vestibulospinal tract originates in the vestibular nuclei of the brainstem. The vestibular system detects changes in...

Area of Science:

  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Pathway analysis is crucial for understanding differential gene expression.
  • Accurate pathway analysis relies on comprehensive gene interaction knowledge.
  • Pathways coordinate cellular functions, but are often analyzed independently.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a methodology for identifying intermediary genes connecting two biological pathways.
  • To model gene-pathway interactions using a sparse regression approach.
  • To compare this new method with existing approaches like Weighted Correlation Network Analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a sparse regression model to predict pathway genes using other genes as predictors.
  • Defined shared neighbor genes as those connected to at least one gene in each of two pathways.
  • Validated the approach using time-course RNA-Seq data from mouse models and human datasets.

Main Results:

  • Identified overrepresented functions for shared neighbor genes between TLR-signaling and other pathways (antigen processing, apoptosis, Jak-Stat).
  • Findings for shared neighbor genes are supported by existing research.
  • The sparse regression method performed favorably compared to Weighted Correlation Network Analysis, especially with weak gene association signals.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed sparse regression methodology effectively identifies genes that mediate interactions between biological pathways.
  • This approach provides a valuable tool for systems biology research, improving the understanding of coordinated pathway functions.
  • The method shows promise for analyzing complex gene interaction networks, particularly in scenarios with subtle signals.
