  4. Smad p21 MKK MAPK MAPK-P PP Signal transduction networks Hanahan & Weinberg (2000)

  5. d [protein] dt = synthesis - degradation ‘Birth control’ for proteins DNA transcription factor transciption RNA translation protein

  6. synthesis degradation degradation S linear 3 rate (dR/dt) k1 2 k2 R S=1 response (R) synthesis R signal (S) Gene expression S = mRNA R = protein Signal-response curve

  7. Protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation
