It consists of a series of modulated runs and tumbles, leading to a biased random walk in the desired direction. k1c : 0.17 s-1 1 s-1 T2 Methylation rate (k1c) CheY1p (µM) FRET signal [CheY-P] Time (s) • Methylation LT2 methylation rate (k3c) T4 demethylation rate (k-2) CheR fold expression Fast response Slow adaptation • Phosphorylation Time(s) Validation • STARTwith a fine-tuned model of chemotaxis network that: Approach… : state variables : reaction kinetics : reaction constants : external stimulus k10 (s-1) [3] P. A. Spiro et al., (1997), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA , 94, 7263 [1] V. Sourjik et al., (2002), PNAS, 99, 123 [2] U. Alon et al., (1999), Nature, 397, 168 Run Tumble • reproduces key features of experiments (adaptation times to small and large ramps, perfect adaptation of the steady state value of CheYp) • is NOT robust k3c (s-1) k-2 (M-1s-1) k-2 (M-1s-1) Literature value[3] A network of interacting proteins converts an external stimulus (attractant/repellent) into an internal signal - the phosphorylated form of the Y chemotaxis protein - which in turn interacts with the flagellar motor to bias the cell’s motion between runs and tumbles. The chemotaxis signal transduction network is a well-characterized model system for studying the properties of the two-component superfamily of receptor-regulated phosphorylation pathways in general. • AUGMENT the model explicitly with the requirements that: [3] P. A. Spiro et al., (1997), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA , 94, 7263 • steady state value of CheYp • values of reaction rate constants, are independent of the external stimulus, s, thereby achieving robustness of perfect adaptation. Violating and Restoring Perfect Adaptation Augmentedsystem [1] k10 (s-1) Discretizing s into H points k3c (s-1) Conditions for Perfect Adaptation k-2 (M-1s-1) Diversity of Chemotaxis Systems Literature value[3] In different bacteria, additional protein components as well as multiple copies of certain chemotaxis proteins are present. Robust Perfect Adaptation [3] P. A. Spiro et al., (1997), Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA , 94, 7263 There are n system variables, m system parameters and 1 small variable to allow near perfect adaptation, giving a total of (n+m+1)H equations and (n+m+1)H variables. [1] Step stimulus from 0 to 1e-6M at t=250s Methylation rate is proportional to autophosphorylation rate: Eg.,Rhodobacter sphaeroides, Caulobacter crescentus and several rhizobacteriapossess multiple CheYs while lacking of CheZ homologue. Physical Interpretation of Parameter ε LT3 Methylation rate (k4c) LT2 Methylation rate (k3c) LT3 demethylation rate (k-3) LT4 demethylation rate (k-4) T4 demethylation rate (k-2) It is an important property of the chemotaxis network: rapid response - in the form of change in concentration of intracellular response regulator and corresponding change in running versus tumbling bias - to a step change in external signal, followed by exact adaptation back to the pre-stimulus value. Recent work has highlighted the fact that the underlying design of the chemosensory pathway is such that exact adaptation is "robust" or insensitive to changes in network parameters such as total protein concentrations and reaction rates.

Conditions for Perfect Adaptation(con’d) Demethylation rate/mmethylation rate is proportional toautophosphorylation rate: : diffusion constant (~ 3 µM) : linear dimension of motor C-ring (~ 45 nm) : CheY-P concentration (at steady state ~ 3 µM) : measurement time (run duration ~ 1 second) Implementation • Requiring: • Faster phosphorylation/autodephosphorylation rates of CheY than CheY1 • Faster phosphorylation rate of CheB • Use Newton-Raphson (root finding algorithm with back-tracking), to solve for the steady state of augmented system, • Use Dsode (stiff ODE solver), to verify time- dependent behavior for different ranges of external stimulus by solving: This work: outline CheB, CheYphosphorylation rate is proportional to autophosphorylation rate: Conclusion • New computational scheme for determining conditions and numerical ranges for parameters allowing robust (near-)perfect adaptation in the E. coli chemotaxis network • Comparison of results with previous works • Extension to other modified chemotaxis networks, with additional protein components • Conclusions and future work Work in progress • Successful implementation of a novel method for elucidating regions in parameter space allowing precise adaptation • Numerical results for (near-) perfect adaptation manifolds in parameter space for the E. coli chemotaxis network, allowing determination of • conditions required for perfect adaptation, consistent with and extending previous works [5-7]] • numerical ranges for unknown or partially known kinetic parameters • Extension to modified chemotaxis networks, for example with no CheZ homologue and multiple CheYs • [5] N.

This model is not assume the two-state active/inactive description of the receptor complex: instead receptor activity is allowed to be graded through the variable autophosphorylation rate of the histidine kinase, CheA. Although capturing the main features of the chemotactic response, this model is "broken" in that the values of reaction rates and protein concentrations are fine-tuned to achieve perfect adaptation of the response.
