Novak1993 - Cell cycle M-phase control


ABSTRACT: Novak1993 - Cell cycle M-phase control The model reproduces Figure 9 of the paper. Please note that active MPF and cyclin concentrations in the paper are given relative to total cdc2 concentration (100nM). Active MPF (dimer_p) is the cyclin-cdc2 complex that is phosphorylated at Thr161. The earlier versions of the model was successfully tested on MathSBML and Jarnac, and the current version was checked in Copasi. This model is described in the article: Numerical analysis of a comprehensive model of M-phase control in Xenopus oocyte extracts and intact embryos. Novak B, Tyson JJ. J. Cell. Sci. 1993 Dec; 106 ( Pt 4): 1153-1168 Abstract: To contribute to a deeper understanding of M-phase control in eukaryotic cells, we have constructed a model based on the biochemistry of M-phase promoting factor (MPF) in Xenopus oocyte extracts, where there is evidence for two positive feedback loops (MPF stimulates its own production by activating Cdc25 and inhibiting Wee1) and a negative feedback loop (MPF stimulates its own destruction by indirectly activating the ubiquitin pathway that degrades its cyclin subunit). To uncover the full dynamical possibilities of the control system, we translate the regulatory network into a set of differential equations and study these equations by graphical techniques and computer simulation. The positive feedback loops in the model account for thresholds and time lags in cyclin-induced and MPF-induced activation of MPF, and the model can be fitted quantitatively to these experimental observations. The negative feedback loop is consistent with observed time lags in MPF-induced cyclin degradation. Furthermore, our model indicates that there are two possible mechanisms for autonomous oscillations. One is driven by the positive feedback loops, resulting in phosphorylation and abrupt dephosphorylation of the Cdc2 subunit at an inhibitory tyrosine residue. These oscillations are typical of oocyte extracts. The other type is driven by the negative feedback loop, involving rapid cyclin turnover and negligible phosphorylation of the tyrosine residue of Cdc2. The early mitotic cycles of intact embryos exhibit such characteristics. In addition, by assuming that unreplicated DNA interferes with M-phase initiation by activating the phosphatases that oppose MPF in the positive feedback loops, we can simulate the effect of addition of sperm nuclei to oocyte extracts, and the lengthening of cycle times at the mid-blastula transition of intact embryos.
