Stochastic Simulation of the Cell Cycle Model for Budding Yeast
We use the recently proposed Nested Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (Nested SSA) to simulate the cell cycle model for budding yeast. The results show that Nested SSA is able to significantly reduce the computational cost while capturing the essential dynamical features of the system.

متن کاملCatecholamine-stimulated GTPase Cycle
The regulation of the intermediary steps of the catecholamine-stimulated GTPase cycle by &adrenergic agonists and Mg2+ was investigated using unilamellar phosphatidylethanolaminephosphatidylserine vesicles that contained purified &adrenergic receptor and the stimulatory GTP-binding protein of the adenylate cyclase system, G. The steady-state turnover number of the agonist-stimulated GTPase, nor...
متن کاملTransducin translocation in rods is triggered by saturation of the GTPase-activating complex.
Light causes massive translocation of G-protein transducin from the light-sensitive outer segment compartment of the rod photoreceptor cell. Remarkably, significant translocation is observed only when the light intensity exceeds a critical threshold level. We addressed the nature of this threshold using a series of mutant mice and found that the threshold can be shifted to either a lower or hig...
متن کاملCell Cycle Modeling for Budding Yeast with Stochastic Simulation Algorithms
Background: For biochemical systems, where some chemical species are represented by small numbers of molecules, discrete and stochastic approaches are more appropriate than continuous and deterministic approaches. The continuous deterministic approach using ordinary differential equations is adequate for understanding the average behavior of cells, while the discrete stochastic approach accurat...
متن کاملRan GTPase cycle: One mechanism — two functions
The Ras-related GTPase Ran functions in nucleocytoplasmic transport by regulating interactions of transport receptors with transport cargo. Three recent studies suggest that Ran uses exactly the same mechanism to regulate spindle assembly during mitosis.
