Stochastically-induced Bistability in Chemical Reaction Systems1 By

چکیده
We study a stochastic two-species chemical reaction system with two mechanisms. One mechanism consists of chemical interactions which govern the overall drift of species amounts in the system; the other mechanism consists of resampling, branching or splitting which makes unbiased perturbative changes to species amounts. Our results show that in a system with a large but bounded capacity, certain combinations of these two types of interactions can lead to stochastically-induced bistability. Depending on the relative magnitudes of the rates of these two sets of interactions, bistability can occur in two distinct ways with different dynamical signatures.

متن کاملThe Smallest Multistationary Mass-Preserving Chemical Reaction Network
Biochemical models that exhibit bistability are of interest to biologists and mathematicians alike. Chemical reaction network theory can provide sufficient conditions for the existence of bistability, and on the other hand can rule out the possibility of multiple steady states. Understanding small networks is important because the existence of multiple steady states in a subnetwork of a biochem...
متن کاملProduct-form Stationary Distributions for Deficiency Zero Chemical Reaction Networks By
We consider both deterministically and stochastically modeled chemical reaction systems and prove that a product-form stationary distribution exists for each closed, irreducible subset of the state space of a stochastically modeled system (with quite general kinetics) if the corresponding deterministically modeled system (with mass-action kinetics) admits a complex balanced equilibrium. Feinber...
متن کاملPhosphorylation potential and chemical fluxes govern the biological performance of multiple PdP cycles
Fission yeast G2/M transition is regulated by a biochemical reaction networks which contains four components: Cdc13, Cdc2, Wee1, and Cdc25. This circuit is characterized by the ultrasensitive responses of Wee1 or Cdc25 to Cdc13/Cdc2 activity, and the bistability of Cdc2 activation. Previous work has shown that this bistability is governed by phosphorylation energy. In this article, we developed...
متن کاملChemical Reaction Network Theory elucidates sources of multistability in interferon signaling
Bistability has important implications in signaling pathways, since it indicates a potential cell decision between alternative outcomes. We present two approaches developed in the framework of the Chemical Reaction Network Theory for easy and efficient search of multiple steady state behavior in signaling networks (both with and without mass conservation), and apply them to search for sources o...
