Probability in transcriptional regulation and its implications for leukocyte differentiation and inducible gene expression

Open access
Hume, David A.·2000·Blood

Abstract

The phenotype of individual hematopoietic cells, like all other differentiated mammalian cells, is determined by selective transcription of a subset of the genes encoded within the genome. This overview summarizes the recent evidence that transcriptional regulation at the level of individual cells is best described in terms of the regulation of the probability of transcription rather than the rate. In this model, heterogeneous gene expression among populations of cells arises by chance, and the degree of heterogeneity is a function of the stability of the mRNA and protein products of individual genes. The probabilistic nature of transcriptional regulation provides one explanation for stochastic phenomena, such as stem cell lineage commitment, and monoallelic expression of inducible genes, such as lymphokines and cytokines.

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.
