Figure 5. Ubiquitin thresholds for cooperative coupling.

Figure 5

(A) Example time dependence of total peroxisomal ubiquitin for cargo addition rate Inline graphic, with the default number of peroxisomes (Inline graphic) and importomers per peroxisome (Inline graphic). The characteristic timescale for fluctuations in the ubiquitination level is several seconds. Two possible threshold values are illustrated with dashed lines. (B) The average interval of time spent below a given threshold vs. Inline graphic for thresholds as indicated by the legend, which also applies to (C). (C) The average interval of time spent above a given threshold vs. Inline graphic.
