Abstract

Noise is intrinsic to many important regulatory processes in living cells, and often forms obstacles to be overcome for reliable biological functions. However, due to stochastic birth and death events of all components in biomolecular systems, suppression of noise of one component by another is fundamentally hard and costly. Quantitatively, a widely-cited severe lower bound on noise suppression in biomolecular systems was established by Lestas et. al. in 2010, assuming that the plant and the controller have separate birth and death reactions. This makes the precision observed in several biological phenomena, e.g., cell fate decision making and cell cycle time ordering, seem impossible. We demonstrate that coupling, a mechanism widely observed in biology, could suppress noise lower than the bound of Lestas et. al. with moderate energy cost. Furthermore, we systematically investigate the coupling mechanism in all two-node reaction networks, showing that negative feedback suppresses noise better than incoherent feedforward achitectures, coupled systems have less noise than their decoupled version for a large class of networks, and coupling has its own fundamental limitations in noise suppression. Results in this work have implications for noise suppression in biological control and provide insight for a new efficient mechanism of noise suppression in biology.
