mGluR timing model simulation parameters
| Parameter | Value | Reason for choice |
|---|---|---|
| Bmax | Variable | See Discussion in text |
| k1 | 50 | Steady-state fromThomsen et al. (1993); assume fast reaction |
| k2 | 80 | |
| k3 | 0 | Assume slow enough to ignore |
| k4 | 0.1 | Assume forward reaction is slow (cf. Berstein et al., 1992; Casey et al., 1990); total PKC inact |
| k5 | 1 | |
| k6 | 20 | |
| Gmax | 1 | Arbitrary |
| k7 | 4 | Chosen to produce latencies in observed CR response range (cf. Wang et al., 1995) |
| k8 | 40 | |
| k9 | 8 | |
| Imax | 1 | Arbitrary |
| Dmax | 1 | Arbitrary |
| k10 | 5 | KD∼6 μm (Nishizuka, 1988); rate set for proper inactivation |
| k11 | 30 | |
| Cmax | 6 | More PKC than calcineurin |
| k12 | 60 | Steady-state fit to Bezprozvanny et al. (1991); rate of reactions fit to fast desensitization data of Levitan et al. (1993) |
| k13 | 48.6 | |
| k14 | 7.55 | |
| k15 | 0.42 | |
| n | 1.65 | |
| k16 | 2 | Chosen to produce a [Ca2+]cyt transient of appropriate duration and amplitude |
| k17 | 8 | |
| k18 | 25 | |
| T | 293°K | Eilers et al., 1995 |
| [Ca2+]ER | 1 mm | Baumann et al., 1991 |
| [Na+]cyt | 8 mm | Eilers et al., 1995 |
| [Na+]ext | 125 mm | Eilers et al., 1995 |
| [Ca2+]ext | 2 mm | Eilers et al., 1995 |
| k19 | 100 | Set amplitude of depolarizations |
| k20 | 10 | Set rate of decay of potential |
| τ1 | 0.025 | Assume [cGMP] signal has rapid onset and decay |
| τ2 | 0.005 | |
| k21 | 1 | Set amplitude and duration of N |
| k22 | 12 | Set amplitude and duration of N |
| Nmax | 2 | Less calcineurin than PKC |
| k23 | 2 | Set rate of learning |
| k24 | 0.4 | Set rate of extinction |
| gmax | 600 | Need large to hyperpolarize |
