Molecular concentration

Molecule Concentration (μm) Previous version Notes and references
Ca2+ 0.1 Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
Glu 0.001 Assumed to produce a basal cAMP concentration around 0.14 μm (Sugiyama et al. 2008).
GABA 0.01 Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
NO 0.05 Assumed to produce the basal cGMP concentration around 50 nm (Francis et al. 2010).
CaM 60 Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
CaN 10 Same See Kawaguchi et al. (2011).
CaMKII 20 Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
PKC 2 1 The PKC amount was assumed to be slightly larger.
PP-1 0.4 0.54 Assumed to balance the level of CaMKII phosphorylation.
PP-2A 0.4 0.2 PP-2A amount was increased to inhibit CaMKII, AMPARs, DARPP-32, G-substrate, MEK and Raf.
AMPAR 1 0.5 The ratio of phosphorylated and dephosphorylated AMPARs reflects the LTD establishment. Thus, the absolute amount of AMPARs is not important here.
GABAAR 1 Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
DARPP-32 0.7 1.1 According to the decrease of PP-1 in the model, amount of DARPP-32 was also reduced.
R2C2-PKA 0.25 Same See Kawaguchi et al. (2011).
GABABR 0.5 Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
GDPαiβγ 1.5 Same See Kawaguchi et al. (2011).
AC 0.02 Same See Kawaguchi et al. (2011).
cAMP 0.1 Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
ATP 2000 (constant) Same See Kitagawa et al. (2009).
PDE1 0.6 Same See Kawaguchi et al. (2011).
PDE4 0.6 0.4 To enable rapid regulation of cAMP concentration, the amount of PDE4 was increased.
PDE5 0.6 Newly defined The amount of PDE5 was assumed to be similar to that of PDE1 or PDE4 in a Purkinje cell.
G-substrate 0.7 10.8 Because the affinity between phospho-G substrate and PP-2A was set much higher based on Endo et al. (2003), the amounts of PKG and G-substrate were reduced.
PKG 0.1 2.445
cGMP 0 Same Kuroda et al. (2001).
GTP 100 Same Kitagawa et al. (2009).
GC 0.02 3 The amount of soluble guanylyl cyclase was assumed to be identical to that of adenylyl cyclase, producing a basal cGMP concentration around 50 nm (Francis et al. 2010).
Raf 0.2 0.5 The amounts of proteins in MAPK cascades were slightly reduced to balance the strength of the positive feedback loop and that of PP-2A activity.
MAPKK 0.1 0.5 The amounts of proteins in MAPK cascades were slightly reduced to balance the strength of the positive feedback loop and that of PP-2A activity.
MAPK 0.2 1 The amounts of proteins in MAPK cascades were slightly reduced to balance the strength of the positive feedback loop and that of PP-2A activity.
MKP-1 (MAPK phosphatase 1) 0.005 0.0032 The amounts of proteins in MAPK cascades were slightly reduced to balance the strength of the positive feedback loop and that of PP-2A activity.
PLA2 0.4 Same Tanaka et al. (2007).
AA 0 Same Kuroda et al. (2001).
APC (aracholonyl-phosphatidylcholine) 3 30 Tanaka et al. (2007).

DAG 0 Same Kuroda et al. (2001).
mGluR1 0.5 0.19524 Adjusted to be identical to that of GABABRs.
Gq 1.5 0.89513 Adjusted to be identical to that of Gi protein.
Gs 1.5 Adjusted to be identical to that of Gi protein.
PLC 0.2 0.8 Assumption
