A Model for the Self-Organization of Vesicular Flux and Protein Distributions in the Golgi Apparatus
Figure 4
Steady state concentrations of three classes of enzymes in the unrestricted fusion scenario.
Golgi enzyme concentrations are normalized by their maximum value. The parameters are: Decay rates for the cis and trans t-SNARE are , the vesicular transport coefficient
, and dissociation constants for vesicular binding are:
for the ER v-SNARE,
for the cis t- and v-SNAREs,
for trans t-SNARE,
for trans v-SNARE,
for cis enzymes,
for medial enzymes, and
for trans enzymes. Initial concentrations of all proteins in the first cisterna are
, and the concentration of the t-SNARE in the ER is 0.7.
