Stochastic modeling of autoregulatory genetic feedback loops: A review and comparative study

J Holehouse, Z Cao, R Grima - Biophysical Journal, 2020 - cell.com
Autoregulatory feedback loops are one of the most common network motifs. A wide variety of
stochastic models have been constructed to understand how the fluctuations in protein …

A comparison of deterministic and stochastic modeling approaches for biochemical reaction systems: On fixed points, means, and modes

SK Hahl, A Kremling - Frontiers in genetics, 2016 - frontiersin.org
In the mathematical modeling of biochemical reactions, a convenient standard approach is
to use ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that follow the law of mass action. However …

Dynamic behavior of stochastic gene expression models in the presence of bursting

MC Mackey, M Tyran-Kaminska, R Yvinec - SIAM Journal on Applied …, 2013 - SIAM
This paper considers the behavior of discrete and continuous mathematical models for gene
expression in the presence of transcriptional/translational bursting. We treat this problem in …

Transcriptional leakage versus noise: a simple mechanism of conversion between binary and graded response in autoregulated genes

A Ochab-Marcinek, M Tabaka - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
We study the response of an autoregulated gene to a range of concentrations of signal
molecules. We show that transcriptional leakage and noise due to translational bursting …

Revisiting the reduction of stochastic models of genetic feedback loops with fast promoter switching

J Holehouse, R Grima - Biophysical journal, 2019 - cell.com
Propensity functions of the Hill type are commonly used to model transcriptional regulation
in stochastic models of gene expression. This leads to an effective reduced master equation …

Quantitative analysis of a transient dynamics of a gene regulatory network

JJ Lee, J Lee - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
In a stochastic process, noise often modifies the picture offered by the mean-field dynamics.
In particular, when there is an absorbing state, the noise erases a stable fixed point of the …

Time-dependent solutions for a stochastic model of gene expression with molecule production in the form of a compound poisson process

J Jędrak, A Ochab-Marcinek - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
We study a stochastic model of gene expression, in which protein production has a form of
random bursts whose size distribution is arbitrary, whereas protein decay is a first-order …

Influence of gene copy number on self-regulated gene expression

J Jędrak, A Ochab-Marcinek - Journal of theoretical biology, 2016 - Elsevier
Using an analytically solvable stochastic model, we study the properties of a simple genetic
circuit consisting of multiple copies of a self-regulating gene. We analyse how the variation …

Stochastic oscillations induced by intrinsic fluctuations in a self-repressing gene

J Wang, M Lefranc, Q Thommen - Biophysical Journal, 2014 - cell.com
Biochemical reaction networks are subjected to large fluctuations attributable to small
molecule numbers, yet underlie reliable biological functions. Thus, it is important to …

Conversion of a stable fixed point into a transient peak by stochastic fluctuation in a gene regulatory network

J Lee - Journal of the Korean Physical Society, 2021 - Springer
The deterministic rate equation has been considered as an approximate description of the
dynamics of the gene regulatory network, derived in the limit of vanishing stochastic …
