    This is a network involving the MAPK-PKC feedback loop with input from the PDGFR in the synapse. The distinctive feature of this model is that it includes MKP-1 induction by MAPK, and the consequent inhibitory regulation of MAPK and the feedback loop. Lots of interesting dynamics arise from this. This link provides supplementary material for the paper Bhalla US et al. Science (2002) 297(5583):1018-23. In the form of several example simulations and demos for the figures in the paper.

    This calcium pool is treated as being buffered to a steady 0.08 uM, which is the resting level.

    mkp1_feedback_effects Network
    Kd is calculated only for second order reactions, like nA+nB <->nC or nA<->nC+nD, where n is number and A,B,C,D are molecules, where as for first order reactions Keq is calculated. Kd for higher order reaction are not consider.

      This Kd is a straightforward result from the Schaechter and Benowitz 1993 J Neurosci 13(10):4361 curves. The time-course is based on the known rapid activation of PKC and also the fact that Ca association with proteins is typically quite fast. My guess is that this tau of 2 sec is quite conservative and the actualy rate may be much faster. The parameter is quite insensitive for most stimuli.

      Nemenoff et al 1993 JBC 268:1960 report a 2X to 4x activation of PLA2 by MAPK, which seems dependent on Ca as well. This reaction represents this activation. Rates are scaled to give appropriate fold activation.
