  1. Lecture #9 Regulation

  2. Multiple levels of enzyme regulation:1) gene expression,2) interconversion,3) ligand binding,4) cofactor availability

  3. Outline • Phenomenology of regulation and signaling • The mathematics of regulatory coupling • Simulating regulation: • Enzymes as molecules in simulation • Fractional states of macromolecular pools • Monomers, dimers, tetramers, …

  4. Phenomenology • 1. Built-in bias; ‘+’ or ‘-’ • activationinhibition • 2. Active concentration range • Gain • Local vs. distant active range rate i ∂rate/∂i i y x x

  5. Local regulation THE MATHEMATICS OF REGULATION OF ENZYME ACTIVITY

  6. Local Regulation:The five basic cases mass action kinetics x v=kx • No regulation • Feedback inhibition • Feedback activation • Feedforward inhibition • Feedforward activation x x x x - + regulated rates - +

  7. Combination of Rate Constants “local” regulation vs. “distant” regulation sign bias gain magnitude

  8. The ‘Net’ Rate Constant: an eigenvalue or a systems time constant x x x x + + - -

  9. A Principle for Local Regulation

  10. Inhibition

  11. The Steady State

  12. Parametric Sensitivity steady state concentration increases response is faster

  13. Dynamic Response x a - Mass action kinetics Hill kinetics

  14. Activation

  15. Activation rate (s) + (s) stable (u) unstable (u) x x (s) In a steady state the mass balance becomes: unique simultaneously satisfied mult l=0

  16. Key Quantities

  17. Multiple Steady States =fn(a) one to three one = fn(a)

  18. Eigenvalues and their location in the complex plane Im 1 2 3 4 Re Transient response: “smooth” landing overshoot damped oscillation sustained oscillation chaos

  19. Some observations • Regulation moves the eigenvalues in the complex plane (only discussed real values here) • Eigenvalues are systemic time constants • The mathematics to analyze regulation is complex • Local feedback inhibition/feedforeward activation is stabilizing (Re(l)-> more negative) • Local feedback activation/feedforeward inhibition is destabilizing (Re(l)-> more positive)

  31. Some observations • Enzymes can be added as molecules into simulation models • Enzymes will have multiple functional states • The fractional state is important • Tetramers are more effective than dimers that are more effective than monomers when it comes to regulation

  32. Summary • The activities of gene products are often directly regulated. • Regulation can be described by: • i) its bias, • ii) the concentration range over which the regulatory molecule is active and • iii) its strength, that is how sensitive the flux is to changes in the concentration of the regulator. • In addition the `distance' in the network between the site of regulation and the formation of the regulator is an important consideration. • In general, local signals that: • support the natural mass action trend in a network are `stabilizing’ • counter the mass action trend may destabilize the steady state and create multiple steady states.

  33. Summary • Regulation of enzyme activity comes down to: • i) the functional state of the gene product (typically fast), • ii) regulating the amount of the gene product present (typically slow); and • examining the functional state of the pool formed by the amount of the active gene product and then the total amount itself. • Regulatory mechanisms • can be build on top of the basic stoichiometric structure of a network being analyzed and its description by elementary mass action kinetics • are described by additional reactions that transform the regulated gene product from one state to the next with elementary reaction kinetics
