A key challenge is to identify the structures in biological circuits that confer system-level properties such as robustness. Circadian clocks allow organisms to adapt to the predictable changes of the 24-hour day\/night cycle by generating endogenous rhythms that can be entrained to the external cycle. In all organisms, the clock circuits typically comprise multiple interlocked feedback loops controlling the rhythmic expression of key genes. Previously, we showed that such architectures increase the flexibility of the clock's rhythmic behaviour. We now test the relationship between flexibility and robustness, using a mathematical model of the circuit controlling conidiation in the fungus\n                      <jats:italic>Neurospora crassa<\/jats:italic>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The circuit modelled in this work consists of a central negative feedback loop, in which the\n                      <jats:italic>frequency<\/jats:italic>\n                      (\n                      <jats:italic>frq<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) gene inhibits its transcriptional activator\n                      <jats:italic>white collar-1<\/jats:italic>\n                      (\n                      <jats:italic>wc-1<\/jats:italic>\n                      ), interlocked with a positive feedback loop in which FRQ protein upregulates WC-1 production. Importantly, our model reproduces the observed entrainment of this circuit under light\/dark cycles with varying photoperiod and cycle duration. Our simulations show that whilst the level of\n                      <jats:italic>frq<\/jats:italic>\n                      mRNA is driven directly by the light input, the falling phase of FRQ protein, a molecular correlate of conidiation, maintains a constant phase that is uncoupled from the times of dawn and dusk. The model predicts the behaviour of mutants that uncouple WC-1 production from FRQ's positive feedback, and shows that the positive loop enhances the buffering of conidiation phase against seasonal photoperiod changes. This property is quantified using Kitano's measure for the overall robustness of a regulated system output. Further analysis demonstrates that this functional robustness is a consequence of the greater evolutionary flexibility conferred on the circuit by the interlocking loop structure.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our model shows that the behaviour of the fungal clock in light-dark cycles can be accounted for by a transcription-translation feedback model of the central FRQ-WC oscillator. More generally, we provide an example of a biological circuit in which greater flexibility yields improved robustness, while also introducing novel sensitivity analysis techniques applicable to a broader range of cellular oscillators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1752-0509-4-88","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,3]],"date-time":"2012-05-03T06:31:46Z","timestamp":1336026706000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Robustness from flexibility in the fungal circadian clock"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Ozgur E","family":"Akman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"David A","family":"Rand","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Paul E","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Andrew J","family":"Millar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"477_CR1","volume-title":"Chronobiology: Biological TimeKeeping","author":"JC Dunlap","year":"2003","unstructured":"Dunlap JC, Loros JL, DeCoursey PJ: Chronobiology: Biological TimeKeeping. 2003, Sunderland, MA, Sinauer,"},{"issue":"9","key":"477_CR2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"702","DOI":"10.1038\/35088576","volume":"2","author":"MW Young","year":"2001","unstructured":"Young MW, Kay SA: Time zones: a comparative genetics of circadian clocks.
