From: Bell-shaped and ultrasensitive dose-response in phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycles: the role of kinase-phosphatase complex formation

Figure 9

Transient phosphorylation of phosphoinositides due to enzymatic complex formation. Comparison of the two scenarios; solid line represent the case when a signalling trigger is simulated. Parameters used are the following: λ−1 = 10 s−1,λ1 = 1μ M−1s−1,k1 = 1 s−1,λ−2 = 10 s−1,λ2 = 1μ M−1s−1,k2 = 1 s−1,κ−1=50s−1,κ1 = 1μ M−1s−1,K t = 0. 1μ M,P t = 0. 2μ M,S t = 300μ M. The other parameters are λ−4 = 1 s−1,λ4 = 75μ M−1s−1,k4 = 100 s−1for t≤300 s and λ−3 = 10 s−1,λ3 = 10μ M−1s−1,k3 = 500 s−1, for t>300s. Dashed line represent the case when kinases are recruited linearly in time as K t = 0. 0003t. Other parameters used are the following: λ−1 = 10 s−1,λ1 = 1μ M−1s−1,k1 = 1 s−1,λ−2 = 10 s−1,λ2 = 1μ M−1s−1,k2 = 1 s−1,κ−1 = 50 s−1,κ1 = 1μ M−1s−1,λ−3 = 10 s−1,λ3 = 10μ M−1s−1,k3 = 500 s−1,P t = 0. 2μ M,S t = 300μ M.
