Abstract
The development of a model-based analysis for identification of the role of transcription factor (TF) binding motifs was reported. A nonlinear mathematical model was formulated to establish the quantitative relationship between the temporal expression profiles and the distribution of known TF binding motifs on regulatory DNA regions. Using the shear stress responses of a family of matrix metalloproteinases in human synovial cells as a model system, it was shown that the nonlinear formulation was able to approximate the experimentally observed expression profile better than the linear formulation.
