7 Hill Formalism - Single TF Standard equation for change of concentration of a protein: d[t ] dt = P T [T ] τ T [T ]-transcription factor (TF) concentration, P T -production function, τ T - T half life T binds to operator site O with rate k + and unbinds with rate k. [T ] + [O] k k + [TO] The corresponding rate equation is d[t ] = k + [T ][O] + k [TO] dt At equilibrium k + [T ][O] + k [TO] = 0 thus k = [T ][O] [TO] System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 7

8 [TO] = [T ][O] [k] Total concentration of operator is [O total ] = [O] + [TO]; the bound fraction is: [TO] [O total ] = [TO] [TO] + [O] = [T ][O] k [T ][O] + [O] k = [T ] k 1 + [T ] k If T is an activator the production is proportional to the bound fraction ( [T ] ) h d[t ] = α k dt ( [T ] ) [T ] h τ T 1 + k If T is a repressor the production is proportional to the unbound fraction d[t ] dt 1 = α ( [T ] ) [T ] h τ T 1 + k System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 8

10 Shea-Akers Formalism - Multiple TF Transcription can be modeled from a statistical point of view. Depending on presence or absence of TF and/or RNAp the operator can be in various states denoted s. Each state has a statistical weight: Z(s) =number of ways the state can be realized e EnergyOfState k b T For a state where i TF are bound the statistical weight for any of the possible s states is given by Z(s) = e G(s) k b T i [T i] [T i ]-concentration of bound TF, e G(s) k b T - parameter for binding affinity, related to loss of free energy at binding. Z(s)is normalized such that the weight of the state with nothing bound is 1 i.e. Z 0 = 1 System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 10

11 Shea-Akers Formalism - Multiple TF The concentration-dependent factor [T i ] reflects the entropy loss during transitions from freely moving factors to bound factors The total statistical weight (partition sum) is: Z = s Z(s) = Z(on) + Z(off ) The probability of a state on is given by appropriately normalized ratio P(on) = Z(on) Z Where Z(on) = e G(s) k b T Z(off ) = 1 i [T i] and e G(s) k b T = k if s depend only on T i P(on) = P(on) = G(s) e k b T i [T i ] 1+e G(s) k b T i [T i ] i [T i ] k 1+ i [T i ] k System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 11

12 The bound fraction is: P T = α Z(bound) Z There are 5 possible states of the system thus partition sum is: Z = 1 + p k p + A k A + A p k Ap + R k R all k are dissociation constants. P T = α p k p + A p k Ap 1 + p k p + A k A + A p k Ap + R k R System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 12

Shea-Ackers equation d[n] dt d[os] dt d[fgf ] dt d[g] dt = k 0 [OS](c 0 + c 1 [N] 2 + k 0 [OS] + c 2 LIF ) (1 + (k 0 [OS](c 1 [N] 2 + k 0 [OS] + c 2 LIF + c 3 [FGF ] 2 )) + c 4 [OS][G] 2 ) γ[n], = α + = = (e 0 + e 1 [OS]) (1 + e 1 [OS] + e 2 [G] 2 γ[os], (1) ) (a 0 + a 1 [OS]) γ[fgf ], (1 + a 1 [OS] + a 2 I 3 ) (b 0 + b 1 [G] 2 + b 3 [OS]) (1 + b 1 [G] 2 + b 2 [N] 2 + b 3 [OS]) γ[g], System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 13

14 Complex Formation A transcription factor can form complexes with other proteins. Sometimes only the complex participates in the transcription. A free andr free are transcription factors that form complex [A R] At equilibrium d[r free ] dt [A free ] + [R free ] k k + [A R] = 0 [R free ][A free ] k d [A R] = 0 (2) Where k d is the affinity constant. The smaller k d the more complex k d = [R free][a free ] [A R] The total amount of proteins are: [A total ] = [A free ] + [A R] (3) [R total ] = [A free ] + [A R] (4) System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 14

15 Complex Formation From equations 2, 3 and 4 one obtains the quadratic equation for the complex. [A R] 2 ([R total ] + [A total ] + k d )[R A] + [R total ][S total ] = 0 The solution is: [A R] = [R total] + [A total ] + k d 2 ( [R total] + [A total ] + k d ) 2 2 [R total ][A total ] Why did we chose the solutions with minus sign? if k d is large one gets no complex if k d is small the complex is min([r total ], [A total ]) System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 15

16 Deterministic Model Limitations dx i dt = f i (X 1...X N ) X-number of molecules, f-interaction function, N-types of molecules assumes that chemical reacting systems are continuous (they re not) assumes the behaviour of the system is a deterministic process (it is not in the N-dimension subspace) chemical systems are not mechanically isolated (5) System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 16

17 Stochastic Model - Probabilistic Formulation Question: When will the next molecular reaction occur and what type of reaction? Fundamental premise: Reaction µ will occur in [t, t + dt] interval given X (t), with probability a µ (x)dt = f µ c µ dt where c - constant, f - combinatorial function of X P(τ, µ)dτ is the probability that a reaction of type µ occurs in the interval [t + τ, t + τ + dτ]. P(τ, µ) = P 0 (τ)a µ dτ (6) where P 0 (τ) is the probability of NO reaction occurring during [t, t + τ] System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 17

18 Stochastic Model - Probabilistic Formulation The probability of NO reaction to occur in the interval [t, t + τ + dτ] is P 0 (τ + dτ) = P 0 (τ) (1 µ a µ dτ) where 1 µ a µdτ is the probability of NO reaction to occur in the interval dτ P 0 (τ + dτ) P 0 (τ) dτ with the solution = P 0 (τ) µ a µ dp 0(τ) dτ = P 0 (τ) µ a µ P 0 (τ) = e ( µ a µτ) = e ( a 0τ) (7) where a 0 = µ a µτ System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 18

19 Stochastic Model - Probabilistic Formulation From Equations 6 and 7 we obtain P(τ, µ) = a µ e a 0τ (8) P(τ, µ) can be written as with P(τ, µ) = P 1 (τ) P 2 (µ) (9) P 1 (τ) = a 0 e ( a 0τ) (10) P 2 (µ) = a µ a 0 (11) System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 19

20 Stochastic Model - Simulation Algorithm Draw two random numbers r 1, r 2 and take in τ = 1 ln( 1 ) a 0 r 1 µ µ = smallest a i > r 2 a 0 (12) i=1 0. Initialise t = t 0 and X = x Evaluate a µ and their sum a 0 given the system is in state X at time t. 2. Generate τ and µ using equation Update the system t = t + τ, X = X + x µ 4. Record X, t. Return to step 1, or else end simulation. System Biology - Deterministic & Stochastic Dynamical Systems 20
