Accession and Pathway Details

Accession Name	Accession No.	Accession Type	Pathway Link
MAPK-bistability -fig1c	35	Network	Shared_Object_MAPK-bistability-fig1c, Sos, PKC, MAPK, PLA2, Ras, PDGFR
Model for figure 1c in Bhalla US et al. Science (2002) 297(5583):1018-23. The demo for this figure is available here. This synaptic signaling model is without the MKP-1 feedback, so it is bistable and remains so over long periods.

Phosphorylated PLA2. The site differs from the site phosphorylated by PKC. See Nemenoff et al 1993 JBC 268(3):1960-1964

PLA2* acting as a Product of an Enzyme in MAPK-bistability-fig1c Network

MAPK* / MAPK*	MAPK-bistability -fig1c Accession No. : 35	Shared_Object_ MAPK-bistability -fig1c Pathway No. : 179	25.641	20	4	explicit E-S complex	Substrate PLA2-cytosolic Product PLA2*
Km = 25uM @ 50 uM ATP and 1mg/ml MBP (huge XS of substrate) Vmax = 4124 pmol/min/ml at a conc of 125 pmol/ml of enz. Numbers are from Sanghera et al JBC 265 pp 52 , 1990. From Nemenoff et al 1993 JBC 268(3):1960-1964 - using Sanghera's 1e-4 ratio of MAPK to protein, we get k3 = 7/sec from 1000 pmol/min/mg total protein in fig 5 I take the Vmax to be higher for PLA2 given the fold activation of PLA2 by MAPK. This is actually a balance term between MAPK and the dephosphorylation step.

PLA2* acting as a Substrate in a reaction in MAPK-bistability-fig1c 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.

	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.

	Dephosphorylation reaction to balance MAPK phosphorylation of PLA2. This is probably mediated by PP2A. Rates determined to keep the balance of phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated PLA2 reasonable. The constraining factor is the fold activation of PLA2 by MAPK.
