| Abstract | Gene expression is a dynamic process which can be controlled by a number of mechanisms as genetic information flows from nucleic acids to proteins. The study of gene expression in the steady state, while informative, overlooks the underlying dynamics of the processes. Steady-state transcript levels are a result of both RNA synthesis and degradation, and as such, measurements of degradation rates can be used to determine their rates of synthesis as well as reveal regulation that occurs via changes in RNA stability. Messenger RNA degradation plays a central role in diverse cellular processes and is controlled primarily by the activity of the degradosome in prokaryotes. In this study, we use the currently available network of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) and mRNA half-lives in Escherichia coli to demonstrate that centrality of a protein in the PPI network is strongly correlated with its mRNA half-life. We find that interacting proteins tend to show similar half-lives, commonly referred to as assortative behavior in networks, which is frequently found in biological and social networks. While a major fraction of the interacting proteins show significantly lower differences in mRNA stabilities, a smaller but significant number of protein pairs tend to show higher differences than expected by chance. Higher differences in transcript stabilities often involved those that encode for transcription factors and enzymes, suggesting a feedback link at the post-translational level. We also note that although essential genes, which act as a proxy for in vivo centrality in PPI networks, are highly expressed compared to non-essential ones, they do not encode for more stable transcripts than non-essential genes. Our results provide a direct link between mRNA stability and centrality of a protein in PPI network indicating the importance of post-transcriptional mechanisms on nascent RNAs in the cell. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
