Theoretical Design of Paradoxical Signaling-Based Synthetic Population Control Circuit in E. coli

Show abstract
We have developed a mathematical framework to analyze the cooperative control of cell population homeostasis via paradoxical signaling in synthetic contexts. Paradoxical signaling functions through quorum sensing (where cells produce and release a chemical signal as a function of cell density). Precisely, the same quorum sensing signal provides both positive (proliferation) and negative (death) feedback in different signal concentration regimes. As a consequence, the relationship between intercellular quorum sensing signal concentration and net growth rate (cell proliferation minus death rates) can be non-monotonic. This relationship is a condition for robustness to certain cell mutational overgrowths and allows for increased stability in the presence of environmental perturbations. Here, we explore stability and robustness of a conceptualized synthetic circuit. Furthermore, we asses possible design principles that could exist among a subset of paradoxical circuit implementations. This analysis sparks the development a bio-molecular control theory to identify ideal underlying characteristics for paradoxical signaling control systems.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
