Table 5. Equilibrium conditions for the Minimal Model of WNT signaling.
All rates are multiplied with factor R=20, so that the equilibrium is reached at 4.5 hr according to Figure 4C–D.
| Rate constant | Biological process | Values based on | Wnt off | Wnt on | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| b | nMmin−1 | CTNNB1 synthesis | from Lee | 0.423 | 0.423 |
| nM | Binding to and phosphorylation by the destruction complex of cytoplasmic CTNNB1 | from Lee | 120 | 120 | |
| min−1 | Dissociation and degradation of phosphorylated CTNNB1 from the destruction complex | Deduced from and | 0.0068 | 0.0068 | |
| nM | Inactivation of the destruction complex by activated DVL | Fitted to and | N.A.* | 1.7 | |
| Ratio between nuclear import and export of CTNNB1 | Deduced from and | 0.96 | 1.17 | ||
| nM | Dissociation of nuclear CTNNB1 from TCF | Deduced from , , | 320 | 33.6 |
*In WNT OFF, w=0, and no inactive destruction complex is formed. Only in WNT ON, w=1, which induces the formation of inactivated destruction complex at the expense of free destruction complex (see Equations 7a and 9 in the model description in Materials and methods).
