The DevR-DevS two component system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is responsible for its dormancy in host and becomes operative under hypoxic condition. It is experimentally known that phosphorylated DevR controls the expression of several downstream genes in a complex manner. In the present work we have developed a mathematical model to show the role of binding sites in the DevR mediated gene expression. Through modeling it has been shown the individual and collective role of the binding sites in regulating the DevR mediated gene expression . The objective of the present work is two fold. First, to describe qualitatively the temporal dynamics of wild type genes and their known mutants. Based on these results we propose that DevR controlled gene expression follows a specific pattern which is efficient in describing other DevR mediated gene expression. Second, to analyze the behavior of the system from the information theoretical point of view. Using the tools of information theory we have calculated the molecular efficiency of the system and have shown that it is close to the maximum limit of isothermal efficiency.
