Molecule Parameter List for Ca

The statistics table lists the distribution of a molecule acting either as a substrate, product, enzyme or as a molecule within the network. The text color of a molecule is highlighted by color.

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.

Ca acting as a Molecule in  MAPK-bistability-fig1c Network

Name	Accession Name	Pathway Name	Initial Conc. (uM)	Volume (fL)	Buffered
Ca	MAPK-bistability -fig1c Accession No. : 35	Shared_Object_ MAPK-bistability -fig1c Pathway No. : 179	0.08	1000	Yes
This calcium pool is treated as being buffered to a steady 0.08 uM, which is the resting level.

Ca 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.

1	PKC-act-by-Ca	MAPK-bistability -fig1c Accession No. : 35	PKC Pathway No. : 181	0.6 (uM^-1 s^-1)	0.5 (s^-1)	Kd(bf) = 0.8333(uM)	-	Substrate Ca PKC-cytosolic Product PKC-Ca
	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.
2	PLA2-Ca-act	MAPK-bistability -fig1c Accession No. : 35	PLA2 Pathway No. : 183	1 (uM^-1 s^-1)	0.1 (s^-1)	Kd(bf) = 0.1(uM)	-	Substrate Ca PLA2-cytosolic Product PLA2-Ca*
	Direct activation of PLA2 by Ca. From Leslie and Channon BBA 1045 (1990) 261-270 fig6 pp267.
3	PLA2*-Ca-act	MAPK-bistability -fig1c Accession No. : 35	PLA2 Pathway No. : 183	6 (uM^-1 s^-1)	0.1 (s^-1)	Kd(bf) = 0.0167(uM)	-	Substrate Ca PLA2* Product PLA2*-Ca
	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.
