Stress-responsive Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) pathway ROS, UV, Osmotic stress, Heat, Bacterial Infection, etc. Stress MAP3K MAPK pathway Cell MAP2K MAPK Apoptosis, Inflammation, Cell swelling/shrinkage, etc. Response
Each phosphorylation reaction = Michaelis-Menten equation Stress P P P Activated!! MAP3K MAP2K MAPK MAP3K MAP2K MAPK Michaelis-menten equation Activated!! Activated!! Response
Pheromone pathway & High-osmolarity pathway Yeast!! http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_cerevisiae MAP3K MAP2K MAPK McClean M.N., et al.Nat Genet.,39, 2007 Why cross-talk is NOT occurred?
The models of McCleanet al. “Cross-talk and decision making in MAP kinase pathways.”McClean M.N., et al.Nat. Genet.,39, 2007
Simultaneous stimuli enables us to distinguish between two pathways Cross-talk Only Y3 activation Only X3 activation Switch-like Bistable
McClean group concluded “mutual inhibition” achieved the specificity. RFP = Signal2 pathway activation GFP = Signal1 pathway activation
Patterson et al. insisted “insulation”, not “mutual inhibition” achieved. “Single-cell analysis reveals that insulation maintains signaling specificity between two yeast MAPK pathways with common components.”Patterson J.C., et al.Sci. Signal.,19, 2010
Future Plan Reproduction of McClean’s model Change their model Explain Patterson’s result
