We have developed a generic mathematical model of a cell cycle signaling network in higher eukaryotes that can be used to simulate both the G1/S and G2/M transitions. In our model, the positive feedback facilitated by CDC25 and wee1 causes bistability in cyclin-dependent kinase activity, whereas the negative feedback facilitated by SKP2 or anaphase-promoting-complex turns this bistable behavior into limit cycle behavior. The cell cycle checkpoint is a Hopf bifurcation point. These behaviors are coordinated by growth and division to maintain normal cell cycle and size homeostasis. This model successfully reproduces sizer, timer, and the restriction point features of the eukaryotic cell cycle, in addition to other experimental findings.
我们构建了一个高等真核生物细胞周期信号网络的通用数学模型,该模型可用于模拟G1/S期和G2/M期转换。在我们的模型中,CDC25和wee1促成的正反馈导致细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶活性出现双稳态,而SKP2或后期促进复合物促成的负反馈则将这种双稳态行为转变为极限环行为。细胞周期检查点是一个霍普夫分岔点。这些行为通过生长和分裂进行协调,以维持正常的细胞周期和大小稳态。该模型除了能重现其他实验结果外,还成功再现了真核细胞周期的大小调控、时间调控以及限制点特征。
