1 Supplement to: How Robust are Switches in Intracellular Signaling Cascades? Nils Blüthgen and Hanspeter Herzel Institute for Theoretical Biology, Invalidenstrasse 43, D Berlin, Germany (Dated: January 10, Journal of Theoretical Biology 225 (2003), ) Corrections There is a typo in the Methods section: Eqn. 3 should read k 1 = Vmax K m (1 + r) instead of k 1 = Vmax K m(1+r). Thanks to Keng-Hwee Chiam and Xinglai Ji who both pointed this out! I. MODELS FOR THE MAPK-CASCADE A. Parameters Concentrations taken from Bhalla & Iyengar (1999) (B/I), Huang & Ferrell (1996) (H/F).

The concentration of GTP-RAS complex is set to GR tot = 0.2µM. The rate constants are k b = 24min 1 µm 1 for binding and k d = 0.5min 1 for dissotiation. In order to keep variable names short, MAPK is abbreviated as K. An S at the end indicates phosphotases, wherever it is neccessary, a underscore indicates a complex. Stars show the phosphorylation states. B. Model According to Huang and Ferrell The parameters k 1,n, k 1,n and k 2,n were choosen in order to fullfill the Michaelis-Menten constants (k m, n) and maximal velocities (V max,n ) values in Tables above. The ratio of k 1,n and k 2,n (r) was choosen as 4 as in Huang & Ferrell (1996). k 1,n = V max,n (1 + r) k m,n (1) k 1,n = V max,n r (2) k 2,n = V max,n. (3) d [KKK ] = k 2,1 [KKK E 1 ] + k 1,2 [KKK E 2 ] k 1,2 [KKK ] [E 2 ] (4) d [KKK E 1 ] = k 1,1 [KKK] [E 1 ] (k 1,1 + k 2,1 ) [KKK E 1 ] (5) d [KKK E 2 ] = k 1,2 [KKK ] [E 2 ] (k 1,2 + k 2,2 ) [KKK E 2 ] (6) [E 2 ] = [E 2,tot ] [KKK E 2 ] (7) [E 1 ] = [E 1,tot ] [KKK E 1 ] (8) [KKK] = [KKK tot ] [KKK ] [KKK E 1 ] [KKK E 2 ] (9) [KK KKK ] [KK KKK ] d [KK KKK ] = k 1,5 [KK] [KKK ] (k 1,5 + k 2,5 ) [KK KKK ] (10) d [KK ] = k 2,5 [KK KKK ] + k 2,8 [KK KKS] (11) 3
