Synthesis of individual molecules in the expression of genes often occurs in bursts of multiple copies. Gene regulatory feedback can affect the frequency with which these bursts occur or their size. Whereas frequency regulation has traditionally received more attention, we focus specifically on the regulation of burst size. It turns out that there are (at least) two alternative formulations of feedback in burst size. In the first, newly produced molecules immediately partake in feedback, even within the same burst. In the second, there is no within-burst regulation due to what we call infinitesimal delay. We describe both alternatives using a minimalistic Markovian drift-jump framework combining discrete and continuous dynamics. We derive detailed analytic results and efficient simulation algorithms for positive non-cooperative autoregulation (whether infinitesimally delayed or not). We show that at steady state both alternatives lead to a gamma distribution of protein level. The steady-state distribution becomes available only after a transcritical bifurcation point is passed. Interestingly, the onset of the bifurcation is postponed by the inclusion of infinitesimal delay.

Keywords: Stochastic gene expression, bursting, positive feedback, MichaelisɃMenten kinetics, hill function, delay, transcritical bifurcation, hybrid model, piecewise deterministic Markov process, partial integro-differential equation, Volterra integral equation.

Figure 1.  A: Random telegraph model for gene expression. Protein concentration increases if gene is On and decreases if gene is Off. Short On periods accompanied by fast production lead to burst-like gene expression. B: The burst dynamics can be deciphered by looking on the fast timescale (the scaling factor is set to $ \varepsilon = 0.05 $ here). C: Protein dynamics in the reduced drift-jump model. Between bursts (vertical dotted lines) the protein level decays exponentially (solid lines; one such period is demarcated by the braces). D: Positive feedback response function of the Michaelis-Menten type (11) as function of protein level $ x $ for selected values of the threshold level $ \kappa $. The dotted black lines ending in coloured markers indicate that the response is half-maximal at $ x = \kappa $
