中文简介:
细胞蛋白质水平的调节是一个复杂的过程,涉及许多调节机制。这些调节机制引入了一系列随机事件,导致细胞之间蛋白质水平的可变性。以前的研究表明,参与转录调节的扰动基因会改变蛋白质水平的可变性,但迄今为止,还没有对这些影响进行系统表征。在这里,我们利用酿酒酵母中广泛的遗传扰动下两个荧光记者的单细胞表达水平来识别影响表达变异性的蛋白质。我们引入计算方法论来确定每个扰动引入的变异性,并区分全局变异性,以协调的方式影响两个记者,以及局部变异性,独立影响单个记者。通过变异性表型对基因进行分类,识别功能上一致的组,这些组与转录调节的不同阶段广泛相关。具体来说,我们发现与DNA维持、染色质调节和RNA合成相关的过程的扰动会影响局部变异性,而与蛋白质合成和运输、细胞形态和细胞大小相关的过程会影响全局变异性。此外,我们发现与染色质调节相关的许多过程的扰动会影响全局和局部变异性。最后,我们证明了不同蛋白质复合物的变异性表型为其细胞功能提供了见解。我们的方法论为检查关于变异性的新兴数据提供了工具,并建立了这种表型作为剖析基因表达中涉及的调节机制的工具的效用。
课程简介: The regulation of cellular protein levels is a complex process involving many regulatory mechanisms. These regulatory mechanisms introduce a cascade of stochastic events leading to variability of protein levels between cells. Previous studies have shown that perturbing genes involved in transcription regulation alters variability of protein levels, but to date, there has been no systematic characterization of these effects. Here we utilize single-cell expression levels of two fluorescent reporters under a wide range of genetic perturbations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify proteins that affect expression variability. We introduce computational methodology to determine the variability introduced by each perturbation, and distinguish between global variability, affecting both reporters in a coordinated manner, and local variability, affecting individual reporters independently. Classifying genes by their variability phenotype identifies functionally coherent groups, which broadly correlate with the different stages of transcriptional regulation. Specifically, we find that perturbation of processes related to DNA maintenance, chromatin regulation and RNA synthesis affect local variability, while processes related to protein synthesis and transport, cell morphology and cell size affect global variability. In addition, we find that perturbations of many processes related to chromatin regulation affect both global and local variability. Finally, we demonstrate that the variability phenotypes of different protein complexes provide insights into their cellular functions. Our methodology provides tools for examining arising data on variability, and establishes the utility of this phenotype as a tool in dissecting the regulatory mechanisms involved in gene expression.
