Combining mathematical modeling with directed evolution offers one promising means for addressing this problem.

They differ in whether they rely on the existence of modules of coregulated genes or build a model that applies to all genes, whether they represent regulatory activities as hidden variables or as mRNA levels, and whether they implicitly or explicitly model the complex cis-regulatory logic of multiple interacting transcription factors binding the same DNA. The fact that functional genomics data of different types reflect the same molecular processes provides a natural strategy for integrative computational analysis. One promising avenue toward an accurate and comprehensive model of gene regulation combines biophysical modeling of the interactions among proteins, DNA, and RNA with the use of large-scale functional genomics data to estimate regulatory network connectivity and activity parameters.

First, recent technical progress in the visualization, localization, tracking, conformational analysis, and true resolution of individual protein complexes is highlighted. Second, results obtained by the SMF analysis of protein complexes are reviewed, focusing on the nuclear pore complex as an instructive example. We conclude that SMF methods provide powerful, indispensable tools for the structural and functional characterization of protein complexes. However, the transition from in vitro systems to living cells is in the initial stages.

The interconnected cis-regulatory modules that control regulatory gene expression create a network that is the underlying mechanism of specification.

Assembly and disassembly of these filaments contribute to many types of cellular movements. Numerous proteins regulate actin assembly, but Arp2/3 complex and formins are the focus of this review because more is known about them than other proteins that stimulate the formation of new filaments. Arp2/3 complex is active at the leading edge of motile cells, where it produces branches on the sides of existing filaments. Growth of these filaments produces force to protrude the membrane. Crystal structures, reconstructions from electron micrographs, and biophysical experiments have started to map out the steps through which proteins called nucleation-promoting factors stimulate the formation of branches. Formins nucleate and support the elongation of unbranched actin filaments for cytokinesis and various types of actin filament bundles. Formins associate processively with the fast-growing ends of filaments and protect them from capping.</p>","PeriodicalId":8270,"journal":{"name":"Annual review of biophysics and biomolecular structure","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1146/annurev.biophys.35.040405.101936","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"26702981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
