  3. Outline • Backgrounds • The lactose utilization network • Deterministic model • Deterministic model&Noise • Stochastic model • The lactose utilization network + lactose metabolism

  4. Backgrounds: • Regulatorynetwork: regulatorysystemthatconsistsofacollectionofnodes,pairsofwhichareconnectedbylinks. • Feedback loops: a cyclic chain of links in a regulatory network. • Positive feedback loops: self-activation or double negative feedback. • Multistability: thecapacity to achieve multiple internal states in response to a single set of external inputs. • Biological switch: cell fate, cell-cycle oscillations.

  5. Thelactoseutilizationnetwork Two external inputs: Glucose & TMG(thio-methylgalactoside) TMG: a non-metabolizable lactose analogue. Redlines:regulatoryinteractions. Black arrows: protein creation through transcription and translation. Dotted arrows: uptake process Operon: promoter + expressible genes

  6. Thelactoseutilizationnetwork and reportor system Bi-stability !!! Two transcriptional regulators: LacI: a repressor. CRP: an activator. GFP: green fluorescent protein, expressed at the lac promoter. HcRed: red fluorescent protein, expressed at the gat promoter. LacYcatalyses the uptake of TMG, which induces further expression of LacY, resulting in a positive feedback.

  7. Experimental results: b. Behavior of alarge cell population c. The phase diagram describing the state of the lactose utilization network in wild-type cells

  8. Deterministic model ρ: dissociation constant of LacI from its main DNA-binding site. ρ=1+RT/R0 : describes how tightly LacI is able to regulate the expression of the lacoperon.
