Description
Bacteria controls the levels of proteins via gene regulation.
In this talk we focus on the regulation at the translation
level, i.e., the process to convert information on mRNAs to
proteins. We present three different ways of regulating
translation, which are (i) small RNA regulation (ii)
regulation of
ribosome traffic jam (iii) toxin-antitoxin system. We
construct mathematical models of each systems based on
experimental knowledge to demonstrate the pros and cons of
each regulations.
