From DNA to Proteins
Transcription: the cell’s machinery
copies the DNA into mRNA
The mRNA travels from the nucleus to
the cytoplasm
Translation: ribosomes “read” the mRNA and produce a corresponding chain of amino-acids

Ribosome FlowDuring translation several ribosomes
read the same mRNA. Ribosomes
follow each other like cars traveling
along a road.
Mathematical models for ribosome
flow: TASEP* and the RFM.

Totally Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Process (TASEP)
Particles can only hop to empty sites (SE)
Movement is unidirectional (TA)
A stochastic model: particles hop along a lattice of consecutive sites
![Page 7: 1 The Ribosome Flow Model Michael Margaliot School of Elec. Eng. Tel Aviv University, Israel Tamir Tuller (Tel Aviv University) Eduardo D. Sontag (Rutgers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649efc5503460f94c0f77c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Simulating TASEP

At each time step, all the particles are scanned and hop with probability , if the consecutive site is empty.
This is continued until steady state.

Ribosome Flow Model*
*Reuveni, Meilijson, Kupiec, Ruppin & Tuller, “Genome-scale analysis of translation elongation with a ribosome flow model”, PLoS Comput. Biol., 2011 9
A deterministic model for ribosome flow.
mRNA is coarse-grained into consecutive sites.
Ribosomes reach site 1 with rate , but can only bind if the site is empty.

Ribosome Flow Model
Just like TASEP, this encapsulates both unidirectional movement and simple exclusion.

Contraction Theory*
The system:

is contracting on a convex set K, with
contraction rate c>0, if
for all

for Nonlinear Systems”, Automatica, 1988.

Implications of Contraction
1. Trajectories converge to a unique
equilibrium point;
17
2. The system entrains to periodic
excitations.

How to Prove Contraction?
The infinitesimal distance between
trajectories evolves according to

This suggests that in order to prove
contraction we need to (uniformly)
bound J(x).

Let be a vector norm.

Proving Contraction
Theorem Consider the system
23
If for all then the
Comment 1: all this works for
system is contracting on K with contraction
rate c.
Comment 2: is Hurwitz.

Application to the RFM
For n=3,
24
and for the matrix measure induced by
the L1 vector norm: for all
The RFM is on the “verge of contraction.”
![Page 25: 1 The Ribosome Flow Model Michael Margaliot School of Elec. Eng. Tel Aviv University, Israel Tamir Tuller (Tel Aviv University) Eduardo D. Sontag (Rutgers.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062517/56649efc5503460f94c0f77c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
RFM is not Contracting on C
For n=3:
25
so for is singular
and thus not Hurwitz.

Motivation for Contraction after a Short Transient (CAST)
Contraction is used to prove asymptotic
properties (convergence to equilibrium
point; entrainment to a periodic
excitation).

then is monotone.
Intuition: assume monotonicity is lost,
then

36
This means that increasing increases
Definition is called cooperative if

Application to the RFM
Every off-diagonal entry is non-
negative on C. Thus, the RFM is a
cooperative system. 37
Proposition The RFM is monotone on C.

Homogeneous RFM In certain cases, all the transition rates are approximately equal.* In the RFM this can be modeled by assuming that
*Ingolia, Lareau & Weissman, “Ribosome Profiling of Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells Reveals the Complexity and Dynamics of Mammalian Proteomes”, Cell, 2011
This yields the Homogeneous Ribosome Flow Model (HRFM). Analysis is simplified because there are only two parameters.

Theorem The closed-loop system admits
an equilibrium point e that is globally
attracting in C.

Biological implication: as before, but this
is probably a better model for translation
in eukaryotes.

Summary
52
The Ribosome Flow Model is:
(1) useful; (2) amenable to analysis.

Recently developed techniques provide
more and more data on the translation
process. Computational models are thus
becoming more and more important.
