Cell Signaling Feedback Loops01:07

Cell Signaling Feedback Loops

6.6K
Positive and negative feedback loops are crucial for regulating biological signaling systems. These feedback loops are processes that connect output signals to their inputs.
Negative feedback loops
Most signaling systems have negative feedback loops that can perform different functions such as output limiter, and adaptation.
Output limiter
Upon receiving an input signal, the cellular response rapidly increases until a threshold is reached. Beyond this threshold, a negative feedback loop...

Positive and Negative Feedback Loops

20.1K
Animal organs and organ systems constantly adjust to internal and external changes through a process called homeostasis ("steady state"). Examples of these changes include regulation of the level of glucose or calcium in the blood or internal responses to external temperatures. Homeostasis requires  maintaining an internal dynamic equilibrium:

Root Loci for Positive-Feedback Systems01:23

Root Loci for Positive-Feedback Systems

158
The Hartley oscillator is a positive feedback system that sustains oscillations by feeding the output back to the input in phase, thereby reinforcing the signal. Positive feedback systems can be viewed as negative feedback systems with inverted feedback signals. In these systems, the root locus encompasses all points on the s-plane where the angle of the system transfer function equals 360 degrees.
The construction rules for the root locus in positive feedback systems are similar to those in...

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.1K
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,...

Operon Model01:23

Operon Model

117
The operon model represents a fundamental mechanism of gene regulation in prokaryotes, enabling coordinated expression of genes involved in related metabolic or functional pathways. Operons consist of structural genes, a promoter, and an operator, with transcription regulated by repressors, activators, and small effector molecules.Structure and Function of OperonsAn operon is a cluster of structural genes transcribed together under the control of a single promoter. The promoter region...

Area of Science:

  • Systems Biology
  • Computational Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Gene interactions regulate fundamental cellular processes like differentiation and metabolism.
  • Experimental studies are often combined with complex models to understand these interactions.
  • The 'inverse problem' aims to infer gene interactions solely from observed system dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To extend existing methods for analyzing genetic network dynamics.
  • To apply these methods to a specific model proposed by Cummins and colleagues.
  • To determine underlying gene interactions from observed system behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of ordinary differential equations as continuous analogues of Boolean switching networks.
  • Classification of dynamics based on logical structure.
  • Application of techniques to solve the inverse problem for genetic networks.
  • Analysis of simple negative feedback systems with cyclic interaction diagrams and an odd number of inhibitory links.
  • Deduction of network structure by analyzing sequences of maxima and minima from time-series data.
  • Discretization of dynamics based on the first derivative to determine logical states.
  • Assessment of the dependence of each variable's rate of change on other variables.

Main Results:

  • For simple negative feedback systems, network structure can be deduced from time-series data if sampled accurately.
  • Sequences of maxima and minima provide a method for structure determination.
  • Discretizing dynamics based on the first derivative offers an alternative approach.
  • Analyzing the dependence of a variable's rate of change on others is a key technique.

Conclusions:

  • The developed methods effectively extend the analysis of genetic network dynamics.
  • The techniques are applicable to model equations for genetic networks.
  • Accurate time-series data and appropriate analytical methods allow for the deduction of gene interaction networks.
