Distributivity and processivity in multisite phosphorylation can be distinguished through steady-state invariants.
Multisite protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation are key cellular regulatory mechanisms but their system properties have been difficult to study in vivo and in vitro. Here we show by mathematical analysis that steady-state invariants enable the mechanism of the kinase or the phosphatase to be determined from steady-state measurements. Invariants exist when both enzymes act distributively...
متن کاملCan differently prepared mixed states be distinguished ?
A measurement has been proposed by B. d'Espagnat that would distinguish ensembles described by the same density matrix. This proposal is made precise and shown why it does not work in cases analogous to the EPR experiment .
متن کاملMultisite protein phosphorylation makes a good threshold but can be a poor switch.
Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation play a fundamental role in eukaryotic signaling. Some 30% of proteins are phosphorylated at any time, many on multiple sites, raising the question of how the cellular phosphorylation state is regulated. Previous work for one and two phosphorylation sites has revealed mechanisms, such as distributive phosphorylation, for switch-like regulation of maximally p...
متن کاملHow accurately can direct and indirect inguinal hernias be distinguished?
An inguinal hernia was clinically diagnosed as direct or indirect by paired surgeons of 134 occasions. When compared with the findings at operation the hernia was correctly diagnosed in 60 of 78 observations when it was indirect and in 33 of 56 when it was direct. The level of accuracy does not warrant continuing the practice of attempting to distinguish one type of inguinal hernia from another.
متن کاملCan Relationality be Distinguished from Abstractness in Noun Mutability?
Previous studies have suggested that relational concepts are more mutable—more prone to change meaning in context— than entity concepts even when both relational and entity concepts are denoted by nouns (Asmuth & Gentner, 2005; Feist & Férez, 2007). However, relationality is a complex dimension, and is highly correlated with other factors such as imageability and abstractness. In the current re...
