text: "In the thesis we focus on the interplay of the biophysics and evolution of
gene regulation. We start by addressing how the type of prokaryotic gene regulation
– activation and repression – affects spurious binding to DNA, also known as\r\ntranscriptional
crosstalk. We propose that regulatory interference caused by excess regulatory
proteins in the dense cellular medium – global crosstalk – could be a factor in
determining which type of gene regulatory network is evolutionarily preferred.
Next,we use a normative approach in eukaryotic gene regulation to describe minimal\r\nnon-equilibrium
enhancer models that optimize so-called regulatory phenotypes. We find a class
of models that differ from standard thermodynamic equilibrium models by a single
parameter that notably increases the regulatory performance. Next chapter addresses
the question of genotype-phenotype-fitness maps of higher dimensional phenotypes.
We show that our biophysically realistic approach allows us to understand how
the mechanisms of promoter function constrain genotypephenotype maps, and how
they affect the evolutionary trajectories of promoters.\r\nIn the last chapter
we ask whether the intrinsic instability of gene duplication and amplification
provides a generic alternative to canonical gene regulation. Using mathematical
modeling, we show that amplifications can tune gene expression in many environments,
including those where transcription factor-based schemes are\r\nhard to evolve
or maintain. "

text: 'In prokaryotes, thermodynamic models of gene regulation provide a highly
quantitative mapping from promoter sequences to gene-expression levels that is
compatible with in vivo and in vitro biophysical measurements. Such concordance
has not been achieved for models of enhancer function in eukaryotes. In equilibrium
models, it is difficult to reconcile the reported short transcription factor (TF)
residence times on the DNA with the high specificity of regulation. In nonequilibrium
models, progress is difficult due to an explosion in the number of parameters.
Here, we navigate this complexity by looking for minimal nonequilibrium enhancer
models that yield desired regulatory phenotypes: low TF residence time, high specificity,
and tunable cooperativity. We find that a single extra parameter, interpretable
as the “linking rate,” by which bound TFs interact with Mediator components, enables
our models to escape equilibrium bounds and access optimal regulatory phenotypes,
while remaining consistent with the reported phenomenology and simple enough to
be inferred from upcoming experiments. We further find that high specificity in
nonequilibrium models is in a trade-off with gene-expression noise, predicting
bursty dynamics—an experimentally observed hallmark of eukaryotic transcription.
By drastically reducing the vast parameter space of nonequilibrium enhancer models
to a much smaller subspace that optimally realizes biological function, we deliver
a rich class of models that could be tractably inferred from data in the near
future.'

text: Organisms cope with change by employing transcriptional regulators. However,
when faced with rare environments, the evolution of transcriptional regulators
and their promoters may be too slow. We ask whether the intrinsic instability
of gene duplication and amplification provides a generic alternative to canonical
gene regulation. By real-time monitoring of gene copy number mutations in E. coli,
we show that gene duplications and amplifications enable adaptation to fluctuating
environments by rapidly generating copy number, and hence expression level, polymorphism.
This ‘amplification-mediated gene expression tuning’ occurs on timescales similar
to canonical gene regulation and can deal with rapid environmental changes. Mathematical
modeling shows that amplifications also tune gene expression in stochastic environments
where transcription factor-based schemes are hard to evolve or maintain. The fleeting
nature of gene amplifications gives rise to a generic population-level mechanism
that relies on genetic heterogeneity to rapidly tune expression of any gene, without
leaving any genomic signature.

text: 'Genes differ in the frequency at which they are expressed and in the form
of regulation used to control their activity. In particular, positive or negative
regulation can lead to activation of a gene in response to an external signal.
Previous works proposed that the form of regulation of a gene correlates with
its frequency of usage: positive regulation when the gene is frequently expressed
and negative regulation when infrequently expressed. Such network design means
that, in the absence of their regulators, the genes are found in their least required
activity state, hence regulatory intervention is often necessary. Due to the multitude
of genes and regulators, spurious binding and unbinding events, called “crosstalk”,
could occur. To determine how the form of regulation affects the global crosstalk
in the network, we used a mathematical model that includes multiple regulators
and multiple target genes. We found that crosstalk depends non-monotonically on
the availability of regulators. Our analysis showed that excess use of regulation
entailed by the formerly suggested network design caused high crosstalk levels
in a large part of the parameter space. We therefore considered the opposite ‘idle’
design, where the default unregulated state of genes is their frequently required
activity state. We found, that ‘idle’ design minimized the use of regulation and
thus minimized crosstalk. In addition, we estimated global crosstalk of S. cerevisiae
using transcription factors binding data. We demonstrated that even partial network
data could suffice to estimate its global crosstalk, suggesting its applicability
to additional organisms. We found that S. cerevisiae estimated crosstalk is lower
than that of a random network, suggesting that natural selection reduces crosstalk.
In summary, our study highlights a new type of protein production cost which is
typically overlooked: that of regulatory interference caused by the presence of
excess regulators in the cell. It demonstrates the importance of whole-network
descriptions, which could show effects missed by single-gene models.'

text: 'In prokaryotes, thermodynamic models of gene regulation provide a highly
quantitative mapping from promoter sequences to gene expression levels that is
compatible with in vivo and in vitro bio-physical measurements. Such concordance
has not been achieved for models of enhancer function in eukaryotes. In equilibrium
models, it is difficult to reconcile the reported short transcription factor (TF)
residence times on the DNA with the high specificity of regulation. In non-equilibrium
models, progress is difficult due to an explosion in the number of parameters.
Here, we navigate this complexity by looking for minimal non-equilibrium enhancer
models that yield desired regulatory phenotypes: low TF residence time, high specificity
and tunable cooperativity. We find that a single extra parameter, interpretable
as the “linking rate” by which bound TFs interact with Mediator components, enables
our models to escape equilibrium bounds and access optimal regulatory phenotypes,
while remaining consistent with the reported phenomenology and simple enough to
be inferred from upcoming experiments. We further find that high specificity in
non-equilibrium models is in a tradeoff with gene expression noise, predicting
bursty dynamics — an experimentally-observed hallmark of eukaryotic transcription.
By drastically reducing the vast parameter space to a much smaller subspace that
optimally realizes biological function prior to inference from data, our normative
approach holds promise for mathematical models in systems biology.'

text: Theoretical and numerical aspects of aerodynamic efficiency of propulsion
systems coupled to the boundary layer of a fuselage are studied. We discuss the
effects of local flow fields, which are affected both by conservative flow acceleration
as well as total pressure losses, on the efficiency of boundary layer immersed
propulsion devices. We introduce the concept of a boundary layer retardation turbine
that helps reduce skin friction over the fuselage. We numerically investigate
efficiency gains offered by boundary layer and wake interacting devices. We discuss
the results in terms of a total energy consumption framework and show that efficiency
gains of any device depend on all the other elements of the propulsion system.
