Intrinsic and extrinsic noise
extrinsic noise:
fluctuations in the amounts or states of other cellular components lead indirectly to variation in the expression of a particular gene
intrinsic noise:
The inherent stochasticity of biochemical processes such as transcription and translation

Measuring intrinsic and extrinsic noise
Simultaneously measure the expression levels of two copies of a single gene, controlled by the same promoter.

Controlling noise
• Noise can hamper the precision of decision making by a cell.
• Noise can be controlled by using negative feedback loops.
• Essential genes are less noisy than other genes, suggestive of selection pressure.

Benefit of noise
• Noise can diversify phenotypic responses.
• Different pheontypes may be adapted for different environmental conditions.
• Population diversity can help the population to survive as a whole.

Noise-induced drug resistance
Balaban 2004
![Page 18: Noise and Bistability 12/10/07. Noisy gene expression at single cell level Elowitz 2002](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649d435503460f94a1e9e7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Noise-induced drug resistance
Observation
• No mutation is identified.
• “Resistant” cells can be further killed by antibiotics.

Noise-induced drug resistance
Observation
• No mutation is identified.
• “Resistant” cells can be further killed by antibiotics.
Explanation
• Genetically identical cells have different responses to environment due to noise.
• A subpopulation of cells “persisters” escape the antibiotics by initiating the “right” response.
Balaban 2004

Bistability
Veening 2006
• Gene activities can be regulated by on-off switches.
• Large-scale continuous response can be due to change of proportions of responsive cells.

Bistability
• Bistability is characterized by bimodal distribution.
• Single stable state corresponds to a unimodal distribution.

The only possible stable states are 0 and infinity. Therefore, nonlinear models are required to model bistability.
