Zero-order switches and developmental thresholds
A long-standing problem in developmental biology, closely associated with pattern formation, is how continuous morphogen gradients are translated into sharp response borders that define clearcut territories in which cells express different sets of genes. To understand how gradients can generate thresholds, several mechanisms have been investigated over the years. Initially, most of these studie...

متن کاملRegulation by proteolysis: developmental switches.
The energy-dependent proteases originally defined in Escherichia coli have proven to have particularly important roles in bacterial developmental systems, including sporulation in Bacillus subtilis and cell cycle in Caulobacter. Degradation of key regulatory proteins participates, with regulation of synthesis and activity of the regulators, to ensure tight control and, where required, irreversi...
متن کاملGATA switches as developmental drivers.
Transcriptional networks orchestrate complex developmental processes. Such networks are commonly instigated by master regulators of development. Considerable progress has been made in elucidating GATA factor-dependent genetic networks that control blood cell development. GATA-2 is required for the genesis and/or function of hematopoietic stem cells, whereas GATA-1 drives the differentiation of ...
متن کاملOligopoly with Capacity Constraints and Thresholds
Abstract Extended Oligopoly models will be introduced and examined in which the firms might face capacity limits, thresholds for minimal and maximal moves, and antitrust thresholds in the case of partial cooperation. Similar situation occurs when there is an additional cost of output adjustment, which is discontinuous at zero due to set-up costs. In these cases the payoff functions of the...
