Optimizing periodicity and polymodality in noise-induced genetic oscillators [PDF]
Many cellular functions are based on the rhythmic organization of biological processes into self-repeating cascades of events. Some of these periodic processes, such as the cell cycles of several species, exhibit conspicuous irregularities in the form of

The TetR Family of Transcriptional Repressors [PDF]
SUMMARYWe have developed a general profile for the proteins of the TetR family of repressors. The stretch that best defines the profile of this family is made up of 47 amino acid residues that correspond to the helix-turn-helix DNA binding motif and adjacent regions in the three-dimensional structures of TetR, QacR, CprB, and EthR, four family members ...

VASP was found to be overexpressed in metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues. Notably, PTTG1‐ and VASP‐deficient OSCC cells demonstrated suppressed metastatic properties by disrupting the interaction between the cytoskeleton and focal adhesion (FAs) in the filopodia region.

Spatiotemporal expressions reflecting topological classes of repressor networks [PDF]
A family of repressor networks is proposed as a simple model of gene regulatory networks. We analytically show three topological classes of the repressor networks, each of which exhibits distinctly growing complexity of spatiotemporal expressions starting from nearly homogeneous states.

Stochastic analysis of bistability in coherent mixed feedback loops combining transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations [PDF]
Mixed feedback loops combining transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations are common in cellular regulatory networks. They consist of two genes, encoding a transcription factor and a small non-coding RNA (sRNA), which mutually regulate each other's expression.

Promoter keyholes enable specific and persistent multi-gene expression programs in primary T cells without genome modification [PDF]
Non-invasive epigenome editing is a promising strategy for engineering gene expression programs, yet potency, specificity, and persistence remain challenging.

First-principles calculation of DNA looping in tethered particle experiments [PDF]
We calculate the probability of DNA loop formation mediated by regulatory proteins such as Lac repressor (LacI), using a mathematical model of DNA elasticity. Our model is adapted to calculating quantities directly observable in Tethered Particle Motion (

CD226+CD8+ T cells express elevated levels of RUNX2, exhibit higher proliferation capacity, cytokines and cytolytic molecules expression, and migratory capacity. In contrast, CD226−CD8+ T cells display an exhausted phenotype associated with the increased expression of co‐inhibitory receptors and impaired effector functions.

Effect of DNA looping on the induction kinetics of the lac operon [PDF]
The induction of the lac operon follows cooperative kinetics.The first mechanistic model of these kinetics is the de facto standard in the modeling literature (Yagil & Yagil, Biophys J, 11, 11-27, 1971). Yet, subsequent studies have shown that the model is based on incorrect assumptions.

Multiphasic denaturation of the λ repressor by urea and its implications for the repressor structure [PDF]
Urea denaturation of the λ repressor has been studied by fluorescence and circular dichroic spectroscopies. Three phases of denaturation could be detected which we have assigned to part of the C‐terminal domain, N‐terminal domain and subunit dissociation coupled with further denaturation of the rest of the C‐terminal domain at increasing urea ...
