Spreading of Chromatin Modifications02:25

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

9.5K
The histone proteins in the nucleosomes are post-translationally modified (PTM) to increase or decrease access to DNA. The commonly observed PTMs are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination of lysine amino acids in the histone H3 tail region. These histone modifications have specific meaning for the cell. Hence, they are called "histone code". The protein complex involved in histone modification is termed as "reader-writer" complex.

Gradually Varying Flow

451
Gradually varying flow (GVF) in open channels describes situations where water depth changes slowly along the channel due to factors like non-uniform bed slope, channel shape variations, or obstructions. This flow type occurs when the depth adjusts gradually to balance gravitational forces, shear forces, and energy requirements, resulting in a low rate of depth change.Characteristics of Gradually Varying FlowGVF is commonly observed in natural streams, rivers, and canals, where flow depth...

Rapidly Varying Flow

518
Rapidly varying flow (RVF) in open channels is characterized by abrupt changes in flow depth over a short distance, with the rate of depth change relative to distance often approaching unity. These flows are inherently complex due to their transient and multi-dimensional nature, making exact analysis difficult. However, approximate solutions using simplified models provide valuable insights into their behavior.Key Features of Rapidly Varying FlowRVF is commonly observed in scenarios involving...

Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

16.2K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Summary

Network modularity impacts epidemic spread differently based on disease type. Tightly connected clusters slow Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemics but accelerate Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) ones, reducing the SIS threshold.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Network Science
  • Mathematical Biology

Background:

  • Understanding epidemic dynamics in complex networks is crucial for public health.
  • Real-world networks exhibit both temporal variations and community structures (modularity).
  • The interplay between network modularity and temporal dynamics in disease spreading remains an active research area.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how modularity and temporal dynamics influence epidemic spreading.
  • To develop and analyze a novel model for time-varying networks with tunable modularity.
  • To quantify the effects on epidemic size (SIR) and threshold (SIS).

Main Methods:

  • Analytical characterization of a time-varying network model with tunable modularity.
  • Study of Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) and Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) epidemic models within this framework.
  • Extensive numerical simulations on synthetic and real-world modular temporal networks.

Main Results:

  • Modular structures with tightly connected clusters inhibit SIR epidemic size.
  • Modular structures accelerate SIS epidemic spread and reduce the epidemic threshold compared to non-modular temporal networks.
  • Theoretical findings are validated through comprehensive simulations.

Conclusions:

  • Network modularity has contrasting effects on different epidemic models (SIR vs. SIS).
  • Modular temporal networks can be critical for understanding and controlling certain types of disease outbreaks.
  • The developed model provides a valuable tool for studying epidemic dynamics in realistic network settings.
