Phillip Samayoa 20.309 – Paper Presentation October 9, 2008 The Frequency Dependence of Osmo-Adaptation in Saccharomyces cerevisae Jerome T. Mettetal, Dale Muzzey, Carlos Gómez-Uribe, Alexander van Oudenaarden
Introduction • Objective • Determine the dominant processes of yeast’s response to osmotic shock • Approach • Systems-engineering methods • Back out a predictive model of signaling dynamics • Significance • Improved understanding of MAPK’s role in osmotic regulation • New approach to developing cellular models
High Osmolarity Response • Less glycerol export (FPS protein) • HOG1 MAPK is transported to the nucleus • indication of osmotic stress • transcription • Measurement of Osmotic Stress • HOG1 tagged with YFP • Nuclear Protein tagged with RFP • (<YFP>nuclear/<YFP>cell)population
Fourier Analysis Extracts a Predictive Model • \ Example (RC circuit): Input = Vo*sin(wt) Vout = sin(wt)*Vo(1 + iwRC)-1
The LTI Model can be Converted into a Molecularly defined Model
Gene Expression Mediates Response Over Longer Time Scales Cells can synthesize proteins Cells can’t synethsize proteins
Summary • Engineering principles to predict response of a system • Moving Forward • Measure state-space variables
