    Signatures of gene expression noise in cellular systems
    (Elsevier, 2009) Rausenberger, Julia; Fleck, Christian; Timmer, Jens; Kollmann, Markus [in: Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology]
    Noise in gene expression, either due to inherent stochasticity or to varying inter- and intracellular environment, can generate significant cell-to-cell variability of protein levels in clonal populations. To quantify the different sources of gene expression noise, several theoretical studies have been performed using either a quasi-stationary approximation for the emerging master equation or employing a time-dependent description, when cell division is taken explicitly into account. Here, we give an overview of the different origins of gene expression noise which were found experimentally and introduce the basic stochastic modeling approaches. We extend, and apply a time-dependent description of gene expression noise to experimental data. The analysis shows that the induction level of the transcription factor can be employed to discriminate the noise profiles and their characteristic signatures. On the basis of experimentally measured cell distributions, our simulations suggest that transcription factor binding and promoter activation can be modeled independently of each other with sufficient accuracy.

    Quantifying origins of cell-to-cell variations in gene expression
    (Cell Press, 15.11.2008) Rausenberger, Julia; Kollmann, Markus [in: Biophysical Journal]
    A general dynamic description of protein synthesis was employed to quantify different sources of gene expression noise in cellular systems. To test our approach, we use time-resolved expression data of individual human cells and, from this information, predict the stationary cell-to-cell variation in protein levels in a clonal population. For three of the four human genes investigated, the cellular variations in expression level are not due to fluctuations in promoter activity or transcript copy number, but are almost exclusively a consequence of long-term variations of gene regulatory factors or the global cellular state. Moreover, we show that a dynamic description is much more reliable to discriminate extrinsic and intrinsic sources of noise than it is on grounds of cell-cycle averaged descriptions. The excellent agreement between the theoretical predictions and the experimentally measured noise strengths shows that a quantitative description of gene expression noise is indeed possible on the basis of idealized stochastic processes.
