Preliminary Model 1: Genetic circuit
Hypothesis
- When glucose concentrations are above threshold, there would not be any activation of production of colanic acid or trehalose.
- When glucose concentrations decrease below threshold, there will be strong activation of M2 and there will be an increase in protein production in the system.
- For decreased concentration of glucose, there will be increased amounts of colanic acid and trehalose produced.
Equations
[math]\displaystyle{
\begin{alignat}{2}
\frac{d[m_i]}{dt} = \frac{km_i^{n_i}}{{[g]}^{n_i}+ km_i^{n_i}} - dm_i*[m_i] \qquad (1)\\
\frac{d[p_i]}{dt} = [m_i]*kp_i - dp_i*[p_i] \qquad (2)\\
where\ i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
\end{alignat}
}[/math]
Legend
| Term | Variable/Parameter | Meaning/description |
| 1 | - | RcsB |
| 2 | - | B3023 |
| 3 | - | Waal Ligase |
| 4 | - | OtsA |
| 5 | - | OtsB |
| g | Variable | Concentration of glucose |
| mi | Variable | Concentration of ith mRNA |
| pi | Variable | Concentration of ith protein |
| ni | Parameter | Hill coefficient of ith mRNA |
Explanation of equations
- In equation (1), we have used a repressing hill function of glucose. This is because glucose, represses CRP, which activates our system. A decrease in [glucose] below threshold will activate M2 strongly.
- The genes are produced in parallel, hence the repressing hill function will appear in the mRNA equations, for all our proteins.
Simulations
Simulation 1: Effects of increasing glucose concentrations on production of protein
Explanations
- When there is a decrease in glucose concentration beyond threshold, there is a great increase in amount and rate of protein production.
- A short time delay is seen as transcription and translation takes time.
