[HTML][HTML] Tuning transcriptional regulation through signaling: a predictive theory of allosteric induction

M Razo-Mejia, SL Barnes, NM Belliveau, G Chure… - Cell systems, 2018 - cell.com
Allosteric regulation is found across all domains of life, yet we still lack simple, predictive
theories that directly link the experimentally tunable parameters of a system to its input-output …

Figure 1 theory meets figure 2 experiments in the study of gene expression

…, G Chure, HG Garcia, M Razo-Mejia… - Annual review of …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
It is tempting to believe that we now own the genome. The ability to read and rewrite it at will
has ushered in a stunning period in the history of science. Nonetheless, there is an Achilles’ …

[HTML][HTML] Reconciling kinetic and thermodynamic models of bacterial transcription

M Morrison, M Razo-Mejia… - PLoS computational …, 2021 - journals.plos.org
… copy number m, given that it had copy number m′ before the burst. The fourth term allows
the system to start with copy number m, then produce a burst and end with copy number m′. …

Predictive shifts in free energy couple mutations to their phenotypic consequences

G Chure, M Razo-Mejia, NM Belliveau… - Proceedings of the …, 2019 - National Acad Sciences
Mutation is a critical mechanism by which evolution explores the functional landscape of
proteins. Despite our ability to experimentally inflict mutations at will, it remains difficult to link …

First-principles prediction of the information processing capacity of a simple genetic circuit

M Razo-Mejia, S Marzen, G Chure, R Taubman… - Physical Review E, 2020 - APS
… (m, p;t), where m and p are the mRNA and protein count per cell, respectively, and t is time.
Given the rates depicted in Fig. 2(a) we define the system of ODEs for a specific m … P(m, p) as …

Comparison of the theoretical and real-world evolutionary potential of a genetic circuit

M Razo-Mejia, JQ Boedicker, D Jones… - Physical …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
… where γ is the mRNA degradation rate and m is the number of transcripts of the gene per cell;
… became noticeably yellow, we stopped the reaction by adding 200 μL of 2.5 M Na 2 CO 3 . …

[HTML][HTML] An In Vivo Metabolic Approach for Deciphering the Product Specificity of Glycerate Kinase Proves that Both E. coli's Glycerate Kinases Generate 2 …

L Zelcbuch, M Razo-Mejia, E Herz, S Yahav… - PloS one, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Apart from addressing humanity’s growing demand for fuels, pharmaceuticals, plastics and
other value added chemicals, metabolic engineering of microbes can serve as a powerful …

[HTML][HTML] Bayesian inference of relative fitness on high-throughput pooled competition assays

M Razo-Mejia, M Mani, D Petrov - PLOS Computational Biology, 2024 - journals.plos.org
… Our data consists of an T × B matrix , where B = M + N is the number of unique barcodes
given by the sum of the number of unique, relevant barcodes we care about, M, and the number …

Sulfur isotope fractionations constrain the biological cycling of dimethylsulfoniopropionate in the upper ocean

D Osorio‐Rodriguez, M RazoMejia… - Limnology and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The rapid turnover of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP), likely the most relevant dissolved
organic sulfur compound in the surface ocean, makes it pivotal to understand the cycling of …
