P.2 left column top paragraph: "A surge of single-cell fluorescence studies has shown that genetically identical cells residing within the same environment can display extensive cell-to-cell variability in the expression levels of various proteins [refs 1,2,3]. A substantial challenge when analysing these phenomena is that the heterogeneity typically originates in reactions involving low-abundance components, while only the high-abundance components that indirectly respond to the heterogeneity are relatively straightforward to measure. For example, many of the key regulatory proteins in Escherichia coli (E. coli) are present in such few copies—recent studies suggest that at least 10% of the proteins in E. coli are present in <10 copies per cell [primary sources]—that fluorescent protein (FP) fusions are difficult to detect over the cellular auto-fluorescence [ref 6]." |
