ODE model

According to the previous network and ODE model, we listed all the differential equations and simulated this system with MATLAB with equations listed as

Formulae

And parameters as

[LADL]00n mol/Linitial concentration of dimered Luminesensor binded Luminesensor in active state
[LA2DL]00n mol/Linitial concentration of binded and dimered Luminesensor

We specifically watched three expressions to understand the mechanism for Luminesensor.

Expression Description Remark
rb = 1 - [DL]/[DT] This indicates the repressing degree. DT indicates the total specific binding sites, while the DL indicates the free ones among DT.
rd = 2[LA2X]/[LT] This indicates the dimerizing degree. LT indicates the total Luminesensor molecules, and LA2X indicates all dimered Luminesensor molecules, i.e. LA2 + LA2DL.
ra =
( [LAX] + 2[LA2X] ) /[LT]		 This indicates the activating degree. LAX indicates all monomer Luminesensor molecules, i.e. LA + LADL.

The simulation result is shown below:

Figure 2. ODE Simulation Result of the prototype Luminesensor.

From the figure above, we discovered that the activation and decay of Luminesensor are the pioneers of progress, and the activating rate is the most completely switched variable as lighting varies. The promoter sequences in the DNA are repressed even though the Luminesensor has not all dimered.

Stochastic Simulation

In order to check the working stability of ,Luminesensor, we simulated this reaction network with a stochastic model. By estimating the volume of a cell, we converted the concentration of a component into the number of molecules by 1 n mol/L : 1. The result are shown below:

Simulation Result

Figure 3. Stochastic Simulation Result of the prototype Luminesensor.

According to the figure above, the noise did not influence this system. Thus, the Luminesensor is expected to work theoretically. Besides, the average value of stochastic simulation is coupled with the result of ODE model, which in turn proves the self-consistency of our ODE model.

Simulation for GFP expression
regulated by Luminesensor

In order to see whether our model is effective to present the downstream gene expression under the control of Luminesensor, we added transcription and translation process after the modeling of DNA binding process. In addition, we considered the delay of translation initiation time and the growth of cell. The simulation below represents the GFP expression of the cell regulated by Luminesensor. After a long time in the light condition, where the GFP expression is inhibited, from t=0h, the cells are moved into dark and begin to express GFP. The GFP expression level according to time is recorded.

Simulation Result

Figure 4. ODE Simulation Result is correspond to the experiment data of GFP expression level according to time from, which suggests that our model is effective to present the experiment situation.
