Over the last several decades it has been increasingly recognized that stochastic processes play a central role in transcription. Though many stochastic effects have been explained, the source of transcriptional bursting (one of the most well-known sources of stochasticity) has continued to evade understanding. Recent results have pointed to mechanical feedback as the source of transcriptional bursting but a reconciliation of this perspective with preexisting views of transcriptional regulation is lacking. In this letter we present a simple phenomenological model which is able to incorporate the traditional view of gene expression within a framework with mechanical limits to transcription. Our model explains the emergence of universal properties of gene expression, wherein the lower limit of intrinsic noise necessarily rises with mean expression level. |
