Description:
Stochasticity inherent to biochemical reactions (intrinsic noise) and variability in cellular states (extrinsic noise) degrade information transmitted through signaling networks. We analyzed the ability of temporal signal modulation--that is, dynamics--to reduce noise-induced information loss. In the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), calcium (Ca(2+)), and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB) pathways, response dynamics resulted in significantly greater information transmission capacities compared to nondynamic responses. Theoretical analysis demonstrated that signaling dynamics has a key role in overcoming extrinsic noise. Experimental measurements of information transmission in the ERK network under varying signal-to-noise levels confirmed our predictions and showed that signaling dynamics mitigate, and can potentially eliminate, extrinsic noise-induced information loss. By curbing the information-degrading effects of cell-to-cell variability, dynamic responses substantially increase the accuracy of biochemical signaling networks.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Selimkhanov, Jangir -- Taylor, Brooks -- Yao, Jason -- Pilko, Anna -- Albeck, John -- Hoffmann, Alexander -- Tsimring, Lev -- Wollman, Roy -- P50 GM085764/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- P50-GM085764/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM089976/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM071573/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01-GM089976/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Dec 12;346(6215):1370-3. doi: 10.1126/science.1254933.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Bioengineering, University of California-San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA. ; Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of California-San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA. ; Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of California-Davis, Davis 95616, USA. ; San Diego Center for Systems Biology, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA.
