Figure 3. ZAP-70 binding to phosphorylated ITAMs enhances both ultrasensitivity and potency.

Figure 3

A) The concentration of total Inline graphic-chain phosphorylation as a function of the relative concentration of active kinase (E) to phosphatase (F). Results are shown for sequential phosphorylation (blue, green) and random phosphorylation (red, orange) in the absence (blue, red) and presence (green, orange) of ZAP-70. B) Hill numbers and C) Inline graphic for all four curves reveal that ZAP-70 binding dramatically increases both ultrasensitivity and potency when phosphorylation is sequential but not random.
