4 Studying Biological Pathways: Common Approaches Experimental techniques Which proteins are involved? How do specific proteins interact? What are the interaction kinetics? Conventional Modeling What are the response dynamics? How do they change with different conditions (e.g. under drug treatment)? Pathway Discovery Can we detect new pathways from low level data like protein sequences? Large Scale Data Analysis Are there any general network properties? Connectivity distribution, re-occuring interaction motifs, etc. Design Principles???
5 Studying Biological Pathways: Limitations Experimental techniques Time, techniques, and money System specific results Conventional Modeling Sparse data System specific results Large Scale Data Analysis Broad conclusions (too broad?) Pathway Discovery Usual suspects; reliability of data, algorithms, etc.
6 Bacterial Chemotaxis: The Behavior Chemotaxis is a biased random walk: Constant Tumbling Frequency Decreasing Tumbling Frequency
7 Bacterial Chemotaxis: The Pathway Tumbling: - CheY-P bound - Motor rotates CW Smooth Swimming: - CheY-P unbound - Motor rotates CCW

13 walk towards higher food concentrations. The base f Fitness: tumbling Capturing frequency Bacterial of bacteria Chemotaxis not zero, enabling them r both to explore the space efficiently and to overcome the l Chemotaxis issues related is achieved withvia living a derivative-like in an environment response: with a low f Reynolds number (Berg, 1983). Hence, we assume that the 6.0 d main selective pressures on chemotactic behavior are the 5.0 s ability to explore the environment while making maximal Ropt. 4.0 gain out of available food sources. Here, we therefore assume that there is an optimal 3.0 tumbling frequency R opt.. A good responder should decrease (increase) its tumbling 2.0 frequency below (above) R opt. in increasing (decreasing) 1.0 food gradients and should tumble with a frequency close to F 0.0 Þ R opt. in absence of any food change. These two selective time pressures on the motility of bacteria are captured in the following fitness function: e Fitness ¼ X C DF ðr t opt: R avg: Þ ðropt: R avg: Þ 2 Chemotactic. Ability t s Reward food intake over a Penalize deviation from a time interval base (optimum) response (5) n CheY-P Ravg. conc. Ligand conc Rao CV et. al., PLOS Biology, 2(2), 2004

19 Distilling Key Features: Response Analysis Imbalance in response to increasing and decreasing signals Adaptation
20 Evolutionary Systems Biology: Chemotaxis Pathway => Dynamics => Behavior Shall I tumble or swim?? Active Effector Concentration E R
21 Evolutionary Systems Biology: Chemotaxis Behavior => Fitness => Evolution Do I survive? Can pathways evolve that allow bacteria to find the food? How would the structure/dynamics of these pathways change with environment/pathway constraints? Do all bacteria evolve the same strategy (i.e. pathway structure)? Do we find population wide variances?
