摘要

One of the biggest challenges in genomics is thernelucidation of the design principles controlling genernexpression. Current approaches examine promoterrnsequences for particular features, such as the presence ofrnbinding sites for a transcriptional regulator, and identifyrnrecurrent relationships among these features termed networkrnmotifs. To define the expression dynamics of a group ofrngenes, the strength of the connections in a network must bernspecified, and these are determined by the cis-promoterrnfeatures participating in the regulation. Approaches thatrnhomogenize features among promoters (e.g., relying onrnconsensuses to describe the various promoter features) andrneven across species hamper the discovery of the keyrndifferences that distinguish promoters that are co-regulatedrnby the same transcriptional regulator. Thus, we haverndeveloped a an approach based on fuzzy logic expressionsrnto analyze proteobacterial genomes for promoter featuresrnthat is specifically designed to account for the variability inrnsequence, location and topology intrinsic to differential genernexpression. We applied our method to characterize networkrnmotifs controlled by the PhoP/PhoQ regulatory system ofrnEscherichia coli and Salmonella enterica serovarrnTyphimurium. We identify key features that that enable thernPhoP protein to produce differential regulation in targetrngenes, reflecting distinct kinetic patterns even for the samerntype of network motif. These findings could not have beenrnuncovered just by inspecting network architecture. We showrnthat the same approach can be generalized to model otherrnregulatory systems.
