Kholodenko2000 - Ultrasensitivity and negative feedback bring oscillations in MAPK cascade

ABSTRACT: Kholodenko2000 - Ultrasensitivity and negative feedback bring oscillations in MAPK cascade The combination of ultrasensitivity and negative feedback bring sustained oscillations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. This model is described in the article: Negative feedback and ultrasensitivity can bring about oscillations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades. Kholodenko BN Eur. J. Biochem. 2000; 267(6):1583-8 Abstract: Functional organization of signal transduction into protein phosphorylation cascades, such as the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades, greatly enhances the sensitivity of cellular targets to external stimuli. The sensitivity increases multiplicatively with the number of cascade levels, so that a tiny change in a stimulus results in a large change in the response, the phenomenon referred to as ultrasensitivity. In a variety of cell types, the MAPK cascades are imbedded in long feedback loops, positive or negative, depending on whether the terminal kinase stimulates or inhibits the activation of the initial level. Here we demonstrate that a negative feedback loop combined with intrinsic ultrasensitivity of the MAPK cascade can bring about sustained oscillations in MAPK phosphorylation. Based on recent kinetic data on the MAPK cascades, we predict that the period of oscillations can range from minutes to hours. The phosphorylation level can vary between the base level and almost 100% of the total protein. The oscillations of the phosphorylation cascades and slow protein diffusion in the cytoplasm can lead to intracellular waves of phospho-proteins.

Project description:Sarma2012 - Oscillations in MAPK cascade (S2), inclusion of external signalling module Two plausible designs (S1 and S2) of coupled positive and negative feedback loops of MAPK cascade has been described in this paper. This model corresponds to model S2 that comprises negative feedback from MK-PP to MKKK-P layer coupled to positive feedback from MK-PP to MKK-PP layer. In addition, a positive feedback loop from S2 to the phosphorylation step of Kinase X has been introduced. This model is described in the article: Oscillations in MAPK cascade triggered by two distinct designs of coupled positive and negative feedback loops. Sarma U, Ghosh I. BMC Res Notes. 2012 Jun 13;5:287. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Feedback loops, both positive and negative are embedded in the Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) cascade. In the three layer MAPK cascade, both feedback loops originate from the terminal layer and their sites of action are either of the two upstream layers. Recent studies have shown that the cascade uses coupled positive and negative feedback loops in generating oscillations. Two plausible designs of coupled positive and negative feedback loops can be elucidated from the literature; in one design the positive feedback precedes the negative feedback in the direction of signal flow and vice-versa in another. But it remains unexplored how the two designs contribute towards triggering oscillations in MAPK cascade. Thus it is also not known how amplitude, frequency, robustness or nature (analogous/digital) of the oscillations would be shaped by these two designs. RESULTS: We built two models of MAPK cascade that exhibited oscillations as function of two underlying designs of coupled positive and negative feedback loops. Frequency, amplitude and nature (digital/analogous) of oscillations were found to be differentially determined by each design. It was observed that the positive feedback emerging from an oscillating MAPK cascade and functional in an external signal processing module can trigger oscillations in the target module, provided that the target module satisfy certain parametric requirements. The augmentation of the two models was done to incorporate the nuclear-cytoplasmic shuttling of cascade components followed by induction of a nuclear phosphatase. It revealed that the fate of oscillations in the MAPK cascade is governed by the feedback designs. Oscillations were unaffected due to nuclear compartmentalization owing to one design but were completely abolished in the other case. CONCLUSION: The MAPK cascade can utilize two distinct designs of coupled positive and negative feedback loops to trigger oscillations. The amplitude, frequency and robustness of the oscillations in presence or absence of nuclear compartmentalization were differentially determined by two designs of coupled positive and negative feedback loops. A positive feedback from an oscillating MAPK cascade was shown to induce oscillations in an external signal processing module, uncovering a novel regulatory aspect of MAPK signal processing.

Project description:Markevich2004 - MAPK double phosphorylation, ordered Michaelis-Menton The model corresponds to the schemas 1 and 2 of Markevich et al 2004, as described in the figure 1 and modelled using Michaelis-Menten like kinetics. Phosphorylations and dephosphorylations follow distributive ordered kinetics. It reproduces figure 3 of the main article. This model is described in the article: Signaling switches and bistability arising from multisite phosphorylation in protein kinase cascades. Markevich NI, Hoek JB, Kholodenko BN. J. Cell Biol. 2004 Feb; 164(3): 353-359 Abstract: Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades can operate as bistable switches residing in either of two different stable states. MAPK cascades are often embedded in positive feedback loops, which are considered to be a prerequisite for bistable behavior. Here we demonstrate that in the absence of any imposed feedback regulation, bistability and hysteresis can arise solely from a distributive kinetic mechanism of the two-site MAPK phosphorylation and dephosphorylation. Importantly, the reported kinetic properties of the kinase (MEK) and phosphatase (MKP3) of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) fulfill the essential requirements for generating a bistable switch at a single MAPK cascade level. Likewise, a cycle where multisite phosphorylations are performed by different kinases, but dephosphorylation reactions are catalyzed by the same phosphatase, can also exhibit bistability and hysteresis. Hence, bistability induced by multisite covalent modification may be a widespread mechanism of the control of protein activity.

Project description:The model describes the double phosphorylation of MAP kinase by an ordered mechanism using the Michaelis-Menten formalism. Two different enzymes, MAPKK1 and MAPKK2, successively phosphorylate the MAP kinase, but one and the same phosphatase dephosphorylates both sites. The model reproduces figure S9 in the supplemental material of the article.
