Robust Perfect Adaptation in Bacterial Chemotaxis Yang Yang & Sima Setayeshgar Department of Physics, Indiana University, Bloomington
MotivationThe biochemical basis of robustness of perfect adaptation is not as yet fully understood. In this work, we develop a novel method for elucidating regions in parameter space of which the E. coli chemotaxis network adapts perfectly:
Broader impactThis method should have applicability to other cellular signal transduction networks and engineered systems that exhibit robust homeostasis.
The shapes of resulting manifolds determine relationships between reaction parameters (for example, methylation and phosphorylation rates) that must be satisfied in order for the network to exhibit perfect adaptation, thereby shedding light on biochemical steps and feedback mechanisms underlying robustness.
Given lack of complete data on values of in vivo reaction rates, the numerical ranges of the resulting manifolds will shed light on values of unknown or partially known parameters.
ConclusionsI.Successful implementation of a novel method for elucidating regions in parameter space allowing precise adaptation II.Numerical results for (near-) perfect adaptation manifolds in parameter space for the E. coli chemotaxis network, allowing determination of
i. conditions required for perfect adaptation, consistent with and extending previous works [1-3]
ii. numerical ranges for unknown or partially known kinetic parametersIII.Extension to modified chemotaxis networks, for example with no CheZ homologue and multiple CheYs
Work in progress Extension to other signaling networks:
• vertebrate phototransduction • mammalian circadian clock
allowing determination of• parameter dependences underlying robustness• plausible numerical values for unknown network parameters

E. coli exhibits an important behavioral response known as chemotaxis - motion toward desirable chemicals (usually nutrients) and away from harmful ones - which is also shared by various other prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The cell’s motion consists of series of “runs” punctuated by “ tumbles”.
E .coli
It is considered to be an ideal model organism for understanding the behavior of cells at the molecular level from the perspectives of several scientific disciplines-anatomy, genetics, chemistry and physics since :• Ease of experimentation, through microscopy and genetic analysis• Small genome (4288 genes), most of which encode proteins

Importantance of perfect adaptation
Chemotaxis signal transduction network in E. coli
Importance of robustnessThe E. coli chemotaxis signal transduction network exhibits robust perfect adaptation, where the concentration of CheYp returns to its prestimulus value despite large changes in the values of many of the biochemical reaction rate constants. These rate constants depend on concentrations of enzymes, which are often present in small copy numbers, making fluctuations in their numbers significant.
Chemotaxis in E. coli involves temporal measurement of the change in concentration of an external stimulus. This is achieved through the existence of fast and slow reaction time scales, in the chemotaxis signal transduction network: fast measurement of the current external concentration is compared with the cell’s “memory” of the concentration some time ago to determine whether to extend a run in a given direction or to tumble, thereby randomly selecting a new direction.
E. coli is a single-celled organism that lives primary in our intestines. It is approximately 1-2 microns long and 1 micron in diameter, and weights 1 picogram. Each cell has 4-6 flagella, approximately 10-20 microns long, driven by an intracellular rotary motor operated by the protonmotive force.
The chemotaxis signal transduction pathway in E. coli – a network of ~50 interacting proteins – converts an external stimulus (change in concentration of chemoattractant / repellent) into an internal stimulus (change in concentration of intracellular response regulator, CheYp) which in turn interacts with the flagella motor to bias the cell’s motion.
It is used as a well-characterized model system for the study of properties of (two-component) cellular signaling networks in general.
Perfect adaptation is an important and generic property of signaling systems, where the response (e.g. running bias in chemotaxis) returns precisely to the pre-stimulus level while the stimulus persists. This property allows the system to compensate for the presence of continued stimulation and to be ready to respond to further stimuli.Thus, E. coli is able to respond to changes in chemoattractant concentrations spanning 5 orders of magnitude! Similarly, the vertebrate visual system responds to changes in light intensity spanning 10 orders of magnitude during the night-day cycle.
