Growth Rate-Dependent Global Effects on Gene Expression in Bacteria
Open accessAbstract
Bacterial gene expression depends not only on specific regulatory mechanisms, but also on bacterial growth, because important global parameters such as the abundance of RNA polymerases and ribosomes are all growth-rate dependent. Understanding of these global effects is necessary for a quantitative understanding of gene regulation and for the design of synthetic genetic circuits. We find that the observed growth-rate dependence of constitutive gene expression can be explained by a simple model using the measured growth-rate dependence of the relevant cellular parameters. More complex growth dependencies for genetic circuits involving activators, repressors, and feedback control were analyzed and verified experimentally with synthetic circuits. Additional results suggest a feedback mechanism mediated by general growth-dependent effects that does not require explicit gene regulation if the expressed protein affects cell growth. This mechanism can lead to growth bistability and promote the acquisition of important physiological functions such as antibiotic resistance and tolerance (persistence).

In the citing paper
“In the simplest case, the total proteome is partitioned into a growth rate-independent fraction that may include negatively autoregulated housekeeping genes (Klumpp et al, 2009), and growth rate-dependent fractions, one for ribosomal and other translational proteins, and one for metabolic proteins, including transporters and catabolic and anabolic enzymes (Scott et al, 2010; Scott & Hwa, 2011).”

“Naively, one might expect modularity of cellular organization to insulate typical genetic circuits from the physiology of cell growth. This does not appear to be the case (Klumpp et al, 2009)”

In the citing paper
“In fact, the bottom-up approach cannot even predict the growth rate dependence of gene expression from an unregulated (or “constitutive”) promoter, which is often taken as the reference state in the study of gene regulatory processes [see (Klumpp et al, 2009) for more discussion of the shortcomings of the bottom-up approach].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
