Signal transduction networks in cancer: quantitative parameters influence network topology.
Networks of fixed topology are used to summarize the collective understanding of the flow of signaling information within a cell (i.e., canonical signaling networks). Moreover, these canonical signaling networks are used to interpret how observed oncogenic changes in protein activity or expression alter information flow in cancer cells. However, creating a novel branch within a signaling networ...
متن کاملOn Modeling Signal Transduction Networks
Signal transduction networks are very complex processes employed by the living cell to suitably react to environmental stimuli. Qualitative and quantitative computational models play an increasingly important role in the representation of these networks and in the search of new insights about these phenomena. In this work we analyze some graph-based models used to discover qualitative propertie...
متن کاملSignal transduction and signaling networks
Cellular signaling can be complex and dynamic. In the past several decades, it has become clear that many signal transduction pathways are not simple one-way transmissions of upstream stimuli, but are mediated through extremely complicated networks. Our next challenge is to move beyond the static biochemical description of networks into developing a functional quantitative understanding of thei...
متن کاملPower-law models of signal transduction pathways.
The mathematical modelling of signal transduction pathways has become a valuable aid to understanding the complex interactions involved in intracellular signalling mechanisms. An important aspect of the mathematical modelling process is the selection of the model type and structure. Until recently, the convention has been to use a standard kinetic model, often with the Michaelis-Menten steady s...
متن کاملMathematical models of protein kinase signal transduction.
We have developed a mathematical theory that describes the regulation of signaling pathways as a function of a limited number of key parameters. Our analysis includes linear kinase-phosphatase cascades, as well as systems containing feedback interactions, crosstalk with other signaling pathways, and/or scaffolding and G proteins. We find that phosphatases have a more pronounced effect than kina...
