Bistability and Self-oscillations in Cell Cycle Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
A qualitative model of cell cycle control is presented and its transition from bistability to limit cycle oscillations and vice versa is discussed. The origin of this model is the two-dimensional system of kinetic equations introduced by Novak–Tyson which is illustrated computationally and analytically. For this purpose a qualitative model is numerically reconstructed from the steady state behavior of the dynamical variables including the bifurcation parameter. Then, the reconstructed cubic polynomial model is generalized to an appropriate canonical form and is analyzed in terms of Lyapunov values. On this basis, the relationship between bistability and self-oscillatory behavior of mitotic cell cycle is approached qualitatively.

Controlling birhythmicity via conjugate self-feedback: Theory and experiment
Bistability is a frequent variant of the commonly occurring dynamical feature, multistability, in many natural systems [1, 2, 3]. The most intriguing form of bistability is the the birhythmicity, i.e., the coexistence of two stable limit cycles of different amplitude and frequency. This type of oscillations is very common, particularly, in physics (e.g., energy harvesting system, see [4] and re...
متن کاملCoupling oscillations and switches in genetic networks
Switches (bistability) and oscillations (limit cycle) are omnipresent in biological networks. Synthetic genetic networks producing bistability and oscillations have been designed and constructed experimentally. However, in real biological systems, regulatory circuits are usually interconnected and the dynamics of those complex networks is often richer than the dynamics of simple modules. Here w...
متن کاملMinimal models for cell-cycle control based on competitive inhibition and multisite phosphorylations of Cdk substrates.
The eukaryotic cell cycle is characterized by alternating oscillations in the activities of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) and the anaphase-promoting complex (APC). Successful completion of the cell cycle is dependent on the precise, temporally ordered appearance of these activities. A modest level of Cdk activity is sufficient to initiate DNA replication, but mitosis and APC activation require ...
متن کاملBiological switches and clocks.
To introduce this special issue on biological switches and clocks, we review the historical development of mathematical models of bistability and oscillations in chemical reaction networks. In the 1960s and 1970s, these models were limited to well-studied biochemical examples, such as glycolytic oscillations and cyclic AMP signalling. After the molecular genetics revolution of the 1980s, the fi...
متن کاملWigner function simulation of intrinsic oscillations, hysteresis, and bistability in resonant tunneling structures
Several interesting behaviors of resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) are investigated through numerical simulation: high frequency self-oscillations, strong intrinsic hysteresis, and pronounced static bistability. Each of these behaviors has been observed experimentally in RTDs, but the measured effects have been slower (oscillations), weaker (hysteresis, bistability), or required external inducta...
