This a model from the article: A kinetic model of the cyclin E/Cdk2 developmental timer in Xenopus laevis embryos. Ciliberto A, Petrus MJ, Tyson JJ, Sible JC. Biophys Chem 2003 Jul 1;104(3):573-89 12914904 , Abstract: Early cell cycles of Xenopus laevis embryos are characterized by rapid oscillations in the activity of two cyclin-dependent kinases. Cdk1 activity peaks at mitosis, driven by periodic degradation of cyclins A and B. In contrast, Cdk2 activity oscillates twice per cell cycle, despite a constant level of its partner, cyclin E. Cyclin E degrades at a fixed time after fertilization, normally corresponding to the midblastula transition. Based on published data and new experiments, we constructed a mathematical model in which: (1) oscillations in Cdk2 activity depend upon changes in phosphorylation, (2) Cdk2 participates in a negative feedback loop with the inhibitory kinase Wee1; (3) cyclin E is cooperatively removed from the oscillatory system; and (4) removed cyclin E is degraded by a pathway activated by cyclin E/Cdk2 itself. The model's predictions about embryos injected with Xic1, a stoichiometric inhibitor of cyclin E/Cdk2, were experimentally validated. This model was taken from the CellML repository and automatically converted to SBML. The original model was: Ciliberto A, Petrus MJ, Tyson JJ, Sible JC.
