Abstract
This study describes a method for controlling the production of protein in individual cells using stochastic models of gene expression. By combining modern microscopy platforms with optogenetic gene expression, experimentalists are able to accurately apply light to individual cells, which can induce protein production. Here we use a finite state projection based stochastic model of gene expression, along with Bayesian state estimation to control protein copy numbers within individual cells. We compare this method to previous methods that use population based approaches. We also demonstrate the ability of this control strategy to ameliorate discrepancies between the predictions of a deterministic model and stochastic switching system.
期刊介绍:
Physical Biology publishes articles in the broad interdisciplinary field bridging biology with the physical sciences and engineering. This journal focuses on research in which quantitative approaches – experimental, theoretical and modeling – lead to new insights into biological systems at all scales of space and time, and all levels of organizational complexity.
Physical Biology accepts contributions from a wide range of biological sub-fields, including topics such as:
molecular biophysics, including single molecule studies, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions
subcellular structures, organelle dynamics, membranes, protein assemblies, chromosome structure
intracellular processes, e.g. cytoskeleton dynamics, cellular transport, cell division
systems biology, e.g. signaling, gene regulation and metabolic networks
cells and their microenvironment, e.g. cell mechanics and motility, chemotaxis, extracellular matrix, biofilms
cell-material interactions, e.g. biointerfaces, electrical stimulation and sensing, endocytosis
cell-cell interactions, cell aggregates, organoids, tissues and organs
developmental dynamics, including pattern formation and morphogenesis
physical and evolutionary aspects of disease, e.g. cancer progression, amyloid formation
neuronal systems, including information processing by networks, memory and learning
population dynamics, ecology, and evolution
collective action and emergence of collective phenomena.
