Phenol Model
Phenol sensor model
Introduction
In this section we model the phenol sensor in Kappa. Kappa is a rule based language allowing the expression of protein-protein interactions in order to build executable models of protein networks. This project is supported by the harvard medical school and can be found in the Kappa homepage. This model is then simulated using KaSim, an open source stochastic simulator for rule-based models written in Kappa. Basically, KaSim takes one or several Kappa files as input and generates stochastic trajectories of various observables. according to literature, the phenol sensor is composed of phosphoriled Dmpr dimers forming hexamers and binding on the P0 site as described in the schemas below from David Tropel and Jan Roelof van der Meer researches[1].
From this article and various other[2,3,4,5,6], we define two models in Kappa.
Phenol-Dmpr model
In this first model, we define the hexamer needed for the phenol sensing to be composed of one Phenol complex and two none phosphoriled Dmpr dimers. We define the Phenol complex as a Dmpr dimer with a phenol binded and next phosphoriled with an ATP in order to binds other Dmpr. schematicaly it correspond to the schemas below.
First (1) two dmpr form a dimer, next, this dimer will recruit a phenol molecule (2), then this complex phosphorize in order to change its conformation (3) finally the complex recruit free Dmpr Dimers in order to form hexamers complexes (4). This hexamer will trigger the P0 site in order to activate the GFP production.
The resulting Kappa program describing all thosess steps is the following :
#agents #dmpr considered as a dimer: s : binding between dimers, need to be phosphoriled, x: binding phenol %agent: dmpr(s,x) %agent: phenol(x) %agent: phComplex2(s) %agent: hexamere(b) %agent: gfp(b) %agent: pgfp(b) #rule 'assos_ph' dmpr(s,x),phenol(x) <-> dmpr(s,x!1),phenol(x!1) @ 'ass','diss' 'recr_atp' dmpr(s,x!1),phenol(x!1) -> phComplex2(s) @ 'ph' 'assos_quadr' phComplex2(s),dmpr(s,x) <-> phComplex2(s!1),dmpr(s!1,x) @ 'ass','diss' 'assos_hexa' phComplex2(s!1),dmpr(s!1,x),dmpr(s,x) <-> hexamere(b) @ 'ass', 'diss' 'gfp_bind' hexamere(b),pgfp(b) -> hexamere(b!1),pgfp(b!1) @ 'ass' 'gfp_prod' hexamere(b!1),pgfp(b!1) -> pgfp(b),gfp(b),dmpr(s,x),dmpr(s,x),dmpr(s,x) @ 0.9 'dmpr_prod' -> dmpr(s,x) @ 10 #var %var: 'gfp' 0 %var: 'dmpr_qt' 100 %var: 'phenol_qt' #To vary %var: 'gfp_p_qt' 100 %var: 'cell_v' 1E-15 %var: 'cell_av' 1E8 %var: 'ph' 5E-3 %var: 'ratio' 'cell_v'/(2.25E-12) %var: 'ass' (1E-5)*(1/'ratio') %var: 'diss' (1E-3)*(1/'ratio') %init: 'phenol_qt' phenol() %init: 'gfp_p_qt' pgfp() %init: 'dmpr_qt' dmpr() %mod: [Tsim] > 1800 do $STOP #def %def: "dumpInfluenceMap" "yes" %def: "influenceMapFileName" "influenceMap" %def: "dotSnapshots" "yes" %mod: [true] do $FLUX "flux.dot" [true] %mod: repeat [E+]/[E]>0 do $SNAPSHOT until [true] #obs %obs: 'gfp_produced' gfp(b) %obs: 'phenol_k' phenol(x)
In this model, all the variables are defined according to biologicals values. For example, the cell_v correspond to E.coli volue and cell_av to the Avogadro number in E.coli. all the association and phosphorilation constants are calculated for general molecules in e.coli or extracted from articles when found. We choose to use e.coli for our model in order to correspond to the biological results
The first rule describe the phenol binding, the second describe the phosphorilation of the complex, the two next ones correspond to the formation of the hexamer complex. The next rule correspond to the binding of the hexamer to the gfp promoter. Finally the two last rules correspond to the gfp production and the dmpr production.
