Analysis of a non-Markov transcription model with nuclear RNA export and RNA nuclear retention

Transcription involves gene activation, nuclear RNA export (NRE) and RNA nuclear retention (RNR). All these processes are multistep and biochemical. A multistep reaction process can create memories between reaction events, leading to non-Markovian kinetics. This raises an unsolved issue: how does mo...

description Transcription involves gene activation, nuclear RNA export (NRE) and RNA nuclear retention (RNR). All these processes are multistep and biochemical. A multistep reaction process can create memories between reaction events, leading to non-Markovian kinetics. This raises an unsolved issue: how does molecular memory affect stochastic transcription in the case that NRE and RNR are simultaneously considered? To address this issue, we analyze a non-Markov model, which considers multistep activation, multistep NRE and multistep RNR can interpret many experimental phenomena. In order to solve this model, we introduce an effective transition rate for each reaction. These effective transition rates, which explicitly decode the effect of molecular memory, can transform the original non-Markov issue into an equivalent Markov one. Based on this technique, we derive analytical results, showing that molecular memory can significantly affect the nuclear and cytoplasmic mRNA mean and noise. In addition to the results providing insights into the role of molecular memory in gene expression, our modeling and analysis provide a paradigm for studying more complex stochastic transcription processes.
