The kinetic space of multistationarity in dual phosphorylation
Multistationarity in molecular systems underlies switch-like responses in cellular decision making. Determining whether and when a system displays multistationarity is in general a difficult problem. In this work we completely determine the set of kinetic parameters that enable multistationarity in a ubiquitous motif involved in cell signaling, namely a dual phosphorylation cycle. In addition we show that the regions of multistationarity and monostationarity are both path connected. We model the dynamics of the concentrations of the proteins over time by means of a parametrized polynomial ordinary differential equation (ODE) system arising from the mass-action assumption. Since this system has three linear first integrals defined by the total amounts of the substrate and the two enzymes, we study for what parameter values the ODE system has at least two positive steady states after suitably choosing the total amounts. We employ a suite of techniques from (real) algebraic geometry, which in particular concern the study of the signs of a multivariate polynomial over the positive orthant and sums of nonnegative circuit polynomials.

Parameter region for multistationarity in $n-$site phosphorylation networks
Multisite phosphorylation is a signaling mechanism well known to give rise to multiple steady states, a property termed multistationarity. When phosphorylation occurs in a sequential and distributive manner, we obtain a …
The multistationarity structure of networks with intermediates and a binomial core network
This work addresses whether a reaction network, taken with mass-action kinetics, is multistationary, that is, admits more than one positive steady state in some stoichiometric compatibility class. We build on previous wo…
In distributive phosphorylation catalytic constants enable non-trivial dynamics
Ordered distributive double phosphorylation is a recurrent motif in intracellular signaling and control. It is either sequential (where the site phosphorylated last is dephosphorylated first) or cyclic (where the site ph…
Connectivity of Parameter Regions of Multistationarity for Multisite Phosphorylation Networks
The parameter region of multistationarity of a reaction network contains all the parameters for which the associated dynamical system exhibits multiple steady states. Describing this region is challenging and remains an …
On the reaction rate constants that enable multistationarity in the two-site phosphorylation cycle
Parametrized polynomial ordinary differential equation systems are broadly used for modeling, specially in the study of biochemical reaction networks under the assumption of mass-action kinetics. Understanding the qualit…
