    Autoregresní modely typu NIAR(1)

    Get PDF
    Předložená práce se nejprve zaobírá poznatky teorie náhodných procesů. Důvodem je jednak snaha autora, aby byl celý text práce srozumitelnější, ale také kvůli potřebě zavedení klíčových pojmů. Prostřednictvím základních lineárních modelů časových řad se v práci definuje autoregresní model AR (1) a v tomto modelu je představený odhad parametru modelu metodou nejmenších čtverců. Pro tento odhad jsou klasickou limitní teorií rozšířené teoretické poznatky práce. Dále jsou představené modely, ve kterých je parametr závislý na počtu pozorování a definují se modely typu NIAR (1). Klasická limitní teorie pro odhad nejmenších čtverců je potom obohacená limitní teorií v těchto modelech. Uvede se třída obecnějších modelů a pomocí získaných poznatků jsou odvozené vlastnosti pro model AR (1). Práce se touhle problematikou zajímá i v modelech typu NIAR (1) a její zájmem je také bootstrap. Teoretickou část práce doplňuje praktická část ve formě numerických studií.My final thesis firstly addresses basic knowledge of the theory of stochastic processes. This is firstly due to the author's effort to make the thesis more comprehensible, and also due to the need for introduction of key concepts. The autoregressive model AR(1) is defined in the thesis through basic linear time series models, and in this model, the estimation of model parameter by the method of least squares is introduced. For this estimation, the theoretical findings of the thesis are extended through the classical limit theory. Furthermore, the models with their parameter dependent on number of observations are introduced and models of NIAR (1) are defined. Classical limit theory for least squares estimation is then enriched by the limit theory in these models. The category of more general models is introduced and using the acquired knowledge, the features for the model AR (1) are derived. This thesis deals with this issue in models of NIAR (1) and its area of interest is also the bootstrap. The theoretical part of the thesis is supplemented by a practical part represented by numerical studies.Department of Probability and Mathematical StatisticsKatedra pravděpodobnosti a matematické statistikyMatematicko-fyzikální fakultaFaculty of Mathematics and Physic

    Transcriptional regulation of NAD metabolism in bacteria: genomic reconstruction of NiaR (YrxA) regulon

    No full text
    A comparative genomic approach was used to reconstruct transcriptional regulation of NAD biosynthesis in bacteria containing orthologs of Bacillus subtilis gene yrxA, a previously identified niacin-responsive repressor of NAD de novo synthesis. Members of YrxA family (re-named here NiaR) are broadly conserved in the Bacillus/Clostridium group and in the deeply branching Fusobacteria and Thermotogales lineages. We analyzed upstream regions of genes associated with NAD biosynthesis to identify candidate NiaR-binding DNA motifs and assess the NiaR regulon content in these species. Representatives of the two distinct types of candidate NiaR-binding sites, characteristic of the Firmicutes and Thermotogales, were verified by an electrophoretic mobility shift assay. In addition to transcriptional control of the nadABC genes, the NiaR regulon in some species extends to niacin salvage (the pncAB genes) and includes uncharacterized membrane proteins possibly involved in niacin transport. The involvement in niacin uptake proposed for one of these proteins (re-named NiaP), encoded by the B. subtilis gene yceI, was experimentally verified. In addition to bacteria, members of the NiaP family are conserved in multicellular eukaryotes, including human, pointing to possible NaiP involvement in niacin utilization in these organisms. Overall, the analysis of the NiaR and NrtR regulons (described in the accompanying paper) revealed mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of NAD metabolism in nearly a hundred diverse bacteria
