Outline § Introduce the concept of fan-out ▫ Measure of modularity ▫ Relationship to retroactivity § Provide a method for estimating the fan-out and retroactivity from gene expression noise. 2
Motivation § When a functioning gene circuit drives downstream circuit components, how many of them can be connected without affecting the functioning circuit? Tunable synthetic gene oscillator by Jeff Hasty’s group. (Stricker, et al. Nature 2008) 3
Motivation Module 1 (Oscillator) Module 2 Question: What is the maximum number of the downstream circuits that can be driven without any change in the period or amplitude? 4
DC Fan-out (for Static Responses) § Fan-out: Maximum number of inputs that an output of a logic gate (TTL) can drive. § The more inputs driven, the larger current needs to be delivered from the output to maintain correct logic voltages. § When the current from the output reaches a limit, Max number of the inputs = DC Fan-out 10 for typical TTL. 5

Gene Circuit Fan-out in More General Interfaces (II) § Two kinds of promoter plasmids with different origins of replication and different promoter affinities. X Ori 2 Ori 1 28
Gene Circuit Fan-out in More General Interfaces (III) § Oligomer TFs regulating multiple operators. X O 1 O 2 29
Gene Circuit Fan-out in More General Interfaces (IV) § Each different TF binds to its specific operator without affecting the binding affinity of the other. X Z § For each output X Z 30
How to increase fan-out 1. Negative feedback. X G 1 G 2 G 3 2. Increase degradation rate constant. Gn 3. Make an output gene highly expressed. X Ø Pb 31
How can we measure RCtot? By using gene expression noise! Autocorrelation of gene expression noise. 32
When an output signal drives multiple inputs, § Longer correlation in time. ( Kim and Sauro ar. Xiv: 0910. 5522 v 1 2009, Del Vecchio et al. CDC 2009) § Autocorrelation quantifies the correlation in time. (Weinberger, Dar, and Simpson. Nature Genetics 2008, Rosenfeld, Young, Alon, Swain, Elowitz. Science 2005) 33

Conclusion § Introduced the concept and quantitative measure of fan-out for genetic circuits. § Proposed an efficient method to estimate the fan -out experimentally. § In the process of estimating the fan-out, retroactivity can be also estimated. § The mechanisms for enhancing the fan-out are proposed. 36
