Figure 7

Eukaryotic repressilator. The repressilator scheme is drawn with eukaryotic Parts & Pools. Green straight lines represent transcription, blue ones, translation. mRNA maturation is modeled into each coding region where pre-mature mRNA interacts with the spliceosome. This requires a link between each transcription unit and the spliceosome Pool. Mature mRNA is exported into a Pool in the cytoplasm where translation takes place. Once synthesized, repressors are brought to their Pools in the nucleus from where they can flow to their target promoters and inhibit transcription.
