Stochastic Delay Accelerates Signaling in Gene Networks

Abstract: The creation of protein from DNA is a dynamic process consisting of numerous reactions, such as transcription, translation and protein folding. Each of these reactions is further comprised of hundreds or thousands of sub-steps that must be completed before a protein is fully mature. Consequently, the time it takes to create a single protein depends on the number of steps in the reaction chain and the nature of each step. One way to account for these reactions in models of gene regulatory networks is to incorpo… Show more

“…operations research, suggests that some biologically motivated questions tied to queueing may already have been answered in a different context. Pursuit of the queueing approach to biological problems has indeed been fruitful thus far, leading to progress in gene networks [15][16][17][18][19], metabolic networks [20,21], degradation pathways [22], signalling [23,24] and translational cross talk [25].…”

“…In this paper, we target the problem of stability analysis of systems with stochastically changing delays. Stochastic delays arise in networked control systems [5], connected vehicles [43], and gene regulatory networks [15, 21]. …”

“…Such studies have been extended to gene networks modeled with delays [48]. However, the biochemical processes that are lumped together by the delay are also stochastic in nature, which results in stochastic delay variations [15, 21]. We analyze corresponding effects and produce stability charts for equilibria on the plane of gain parameters for different distributions of the stochastic delay.…”

“…The incorporation of delay greatly simplifies models of genetic oscillators while simultaneously maintaining qualitative similarities to experimental data [8, 21, 40, 41]. Delay-based models play a central role in understanding the origin of oscillations in genetic networks [30, 31] and other nonlinear systems [18, 22]. For constant temperatures, the delay time or distribution can be scaled with the Arrhenius equation, just as the reaction rates.…”
