Accounting for extrinsic variability in the estimation of stochastic rate constants.
In: International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 22 (10), pp. 1103-1119. Wiley-Blackwell, [Article]
Abstract
Single-cell recordings of transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes reveal the inherent stochasticity of cellular events. However, to a large extent the observed variability in isogenic cell populations is due to extrinsic factors, such as difference in expression capacity, cell volume and cell cycle stage - to name a few. Thus, such experimental data represents a convolution of effects from stochastic kinetics and extrinsic noise sources. Recent parameter inference schemes for single-cell data just account for variability due to molecular noise. Here we present a Bayesian inference scheme which de-convolutes the two sources of variability and enables us to obtain optimal estimates of stochastic rate constants of low copy-number events and extract statistical information about cell-to-cell variability. In contrast to previous attempts, we model extrinsic noise by a variability in the abundance of mass-conserved species, rather than a variability in kinetic parameters. We apply the scheme to a simple model of the osmo-stress induced transcriptional activation in budding yeast.
