Figure 5From: A general framework for modeling growth and division of mammalian cellsNumber of RNA polymerase over two cell divisions starting from G0. RNA polymerase proteins are constitutive with enhancement by growth factors (TF-grow). The blue line indicates RNA polymerase that is held inactive by cycC/Cdk8; red line indicates RNA polymerase that is detached from DNA; green line indicates RNA polymerase that is actively transcribing DNA. In order to accomplish the initial cell division in a reasonable time, a large number of RNA polymerase is held inactive during G0.Back to article page
