Whole cell model
Model
The whole cell model is the combination of the Quorum sensing, Integrase and XOR modules. The model shows the behaviour of the a single cell in response to incoming signals. The model enables us to understand the effect of leakiness, cross-talk and their combinations on the whole system.
Chemical Species
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| LuxAHL | 30C6-HSL is an acyl homoserine lactone which mainly binds to LuxR. |
| LuxR | Constitutively expressed regulator protein that can bind LuxAHL and stimulate transcription of Bxb1. |
| RLux | LuxR and LuxAHL complex which can dimerize. |
| DRLux | Dimerized form of RLux. |
| mRNABxb1 | mRNA of the Bxb1 integrase being transcribed by the Lux promoter. |
| Bxb1 | Serine integrase that can fold into two conformations - Bxb1a and Bxb1b. We chose to use a common connotation for both conformations - Bxb1. |
| LasAHL | 30C12-HSL is an acyl homoserine lactone which mainly binds to LasR. |
| LasR | Constitutively expressed regulator protein that can bind LasAHL and stimulate transcription of ΦC31. |
| RLas | LasR and LasAHL complex which can dimerize. |
| DRLas | Dimerized form of RLas. |
| mRNAΦC31 | mRNA of the ΦC31 integrase being transcribed by the Lux promoter. |
| ΦC31 | Serine integrase that can fold into two conformations - ΦC31a and ΦC31b. We chose to use a common connotation for both conformations - ΦC31. |
| SIBxb1 | Inactive DNA binding site for Bxb1. No dimer is bound to this site. |
| SABxb1 | Active DNA binding site for Bxb1. A dimer is bound to this site. |
| SFBxb1 | Flipped DNA binding site for Bxb1. The site generated after recombination by integrase. |
| SIΦC31 | Inactive DNA binding site for ΦC31. No dimer is bound to this site. |
| SAΦC31 | Active DNA binding site for ΦC31. A dimer is bound to this site. |
| SFΦC31 | Flipped DNA binding site for ΦC31. The site generated after recombination by integrase. |
| Ton,i | The number of terminators which are blocking the transcription of GFP and LuxI/LasI initially. |
| ToffBxb1 | The number of terminators turned off by recombination due to Bxb1. Favours the transcription of GFP and LuxI. |
| ToffΦC31 | The number of terminators turned off by recombination due to ΦC31. Favours the transcription of GFP and LuxI. |
| Ton,f | The number of terminators blocking the transcription of GFP and LuxI/LasI after recombination by Bxb1 and ΦC31. No transcription. |
| mRNAGFP | mRNA for Green fluorescent protein which is produced when the cells are ON. |
| GFP | Green fluorescent protein which is produced when the cells are ON. |
| mRNALuxI | mRNA for LuxI which is produced when the cells are ON. |
| LuxI | Enzyme catalysing the production of LuxAHL from SAM and ACP. |
| mRNALasI | mRNA for LasI which is produced when the cell are ON. |
| LasI | Enzyme catalysing the production of LasAHL from SAM and ACP. |

The following equations were used for the whole cell model.
$$\begin{align*} \frac{d[Lux-AHL]}{dt} &= k_{-RLux}[R_{Lux}]-k_{RLux}[Lux-AHL][LuxR]-d_{Lux-AHL}[Lux-AHL]\\ \frac{d[LuxR]}{dt} &= \alpha_{LuxR} -k_{RLux}[Lux-AHL][LuxR] + k_{-RLux}[RLux] - d_{LuxR}[LuxR] \\ \frac{d[RLux]}{dt} &= k_{RLux}[Lux-AHL][LuxR] - k_{-RLux}[RLux] - 2 k_{DRLux} [RLux]^2 + 2 k_{-DRLux} [DRLux] - d_{RLux} [RLux] \\ \frac{d[DRLux]}{dt} &= k_{DRLux} [RLux]^2 - k_{-DRLux} [DRLux] - d_{DRLux} [DRLux] \\ \frac{d[P_{LuxON}]}{dt} &= k_{P_{LuxON}} [P_{LuxOFF}][DRLux] - k_{-P_{LuxON}} [P_{LuxON}]\\ \frac{d[mRNA_{Bxb1}]}{dt} &= L_{P_{Lux}} + k_{mRNA_{Bxb1}} [P_{LuxON}] - d_{mRNA_{Bxb1}} [mRNA_{Bxb1}]\\ \frac{d[Bxb1]}{dt} &= k_{mRNA_{Bxb1}} [mRNA_{Bxb1}] -2 k_{DBxb1}[Bxb1]^2+ 2 k_{-DBxb1}[DBxb1] - d_{Bxb1}[Bxb1]\\ \frac{d[DBxb1]}{dt}&= +k_{DBxb1}[Bxb1]^2-k_{-DBxb1}[DBxb1]-k_{SABxb1}[DBxb1][SI_{Bxb1}]+k_{-SABxb1}[SA_{Bxb1}]-d_{DBxb1}[DBxb1]\\ \frac{d[SA_{Bxb1}]}{dt}&=k_{SABxb1}[DBxb1][SI_{Bxb1}]-k_{-SABxb1}[SA_{Bxb1}]\\ \\ \frac{d[Las-AHL]}{dt} &= k_{-RLas}[R_{Las}]-k_{RLas}[Las-AHL][LasR]-d_{Las-AHL}[Las-AHL]\\ \frac{d[LasR]}{dt} &= \alpha_{LasR} -k_{RLas}[Las-AHL][LasR] + k_{-RLas}[RLas] - d_{LasR}[LasR] \\ \frac{d[RLas]}{dt} &= k_{RLas}[Las-AHL][LasR] - k_{-RLas}[RLas] - 2 k_{DRLas} [RLas]^2 + 2 k_{-DRLas} [DRLas] - d_{RLas} [RLas] \\ \frac{d[DRLas]}{dt} &= k_{DRLas} [RLas]^2 - k_{-DRLas} [DRLas] - d_{DRLas} [DRLas] \\ \frac{d[P_{LasON}]}{dt} &= k_{P_{LasON}} [P_{LasOFF}][DRLas] - k_{-P_{LasON}} [P_{LasON}]\\ \frac{d[mRNA_{\phi c31}]}{dt} &= L_{P_{Las}} + k_{mRNA_{\phi c31}} [P_{LasON}] - d_{mRNA_{\phi c31}} [mRNA_{\phi c31}]\\ \frac{d[\phi c31]}{dt} &= k_{mRNA_{\phi c31}} [mRNA_{\phi c31}] -2 k_{D\phi c31}[\phi c31]^2+ 2 k_{-D\phi c31}[D\phi c31] - d_{\phi c31}[\phi c31]\\ \frac{d[D\phi c31]}{dt}&= +k_{D\phi c31}[\phi c31]^2-k_{-D\phi c31}[D\phi c31]-k_{SA\phi c31}[D\phi c31][SI_{\phi c31}]+k_{-SA\phi c31}[SA_{\phi c31}]-d_{D\phi c31}[D\phi c31]\\ \frac{d[SA_{\phi c31}]}{dt}&=k_{SA\phi c31}[D\phi c31][SI_{\phi c31}]-k_{-SA\phi c31}[SA_{\phi c31}]\\ \end{align*}$$
