Transcription rates are regulated by interactions between RNA polymerase, sigma factor, and promoter DNA sequences. In this study, the authors developed a predictive biophysical model of transcription using massively parallel experiments and machine learning, which was validated across a large number of bacterial promoters with diverse sequences.
Transcription rates are regulated by the interactions between RNA polymerase, sigma factor, and promoter DNA sequences in bacteria. However, it remains unclear how non-canonical sequence motifs collectively control transcription rates. Here, we combine massively parallel assays, biophysics, and machine learning to develop a 346-parameter model that predicts site-specific transcription initiation rates for any sigma(70) promoter sequence, validated across 22132 bacterial promoters with diverse sequences. We apply the model to predict genetic context effects, design sigma(70) promoters with desired transcription rates, and identify undesired promoters inside engineered genetic systems. The model provides a biophysical basis for understanding gene regulation in natural genetic systems and precise transcriptional control for engineering synthetic genetic systems. Transcription rates are regulated by the interactions between RNA polymerase, sigma factor, and promoter DNA sequences in bacteria. Here the authors combine massively parallel experiments & machine learning to develop a predictive biophysical model of transcription, validated across 22132 bacterial promoters, and apply it to the design and debugging of genetic circuits.
