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 largeg¯ to hyperpolarize
