Three node Sub graphs - 13
Four Node Sub graphs - 199
Five Node Sub graphs – Over 9000
Seven Node Subgraphs – Million
Fortunately , Most Biological Network shows families
of dominant motifs
Eg: Transcription Networks Show
Feed Forward Loops (FFL)
Dense Overlapping Regulons (DOR)
Single Input Modules (SIM)

FIFO program
The FFL works as an FIFO program here
because of the OR functions at Zi
Notice that threshold levels have to be
reversed for Y and Z
Aside: E Coli Flagella –

Dense Overlapping Regulon (DOR)
DORs
The Genes in each DOR have a shared
Global function
Such as stress response
Nutrient metabolism
Biosystehsis of key classes of celular components
The DOR forms the back bone of networks
global structure
So Can we use motifs to simplify networks?
How do Network Motifs Integrate?
The E.coli Transcription Network (partial)
A single DOR Layer
FFLs and SIMs are integrated within DORs
A Master Regulators Layer
(lots of Auto-Reg.)Where are the XYZ
?
Compare with…
DORs in transcription
networks
Form single layers - do not form cascades
No ‘Single line’ cascades
Rate limited networks tend not to employ such
cascades
Cascades are found in networks with interactions
that are rapid compared to the timescale in which
the network needs to function.

transcription networks
These are not rate limited

X Y X Y
•Both X AND Y are ON at the
same time.
•Genes regulated by X and Y
belong to the same tissue (or
strip).
•X OR Y is ON at a given time.
•Genes regulated by X and Y
belong to different tissues
(strips).

(Fast) Protein-Protein Interactions
(Slow) Transcriptional Interactions
•Z transcriptionally activates X and Y
•X forms a complex with Y.
•X phosphorylates Y.

•X transcriptionally activates X.
•Y inhibits X.

Summary
Network motifs can function in several biological processes (sensory systems,
development).
different time scales (milliseconds, cell generations).
Network motifs can produce temporal programs (LIFO, FIFO, oscillation).
Motifs within a network may be arranged in organized structures (perceptrons, interlocking FFL).
It is possible to understand network topology better by reducing the network to motif - topology
