Parameters for the EducatETH E. coli system

In order to provide as realistic simulation results as possible, and to find good estimates for the simulation parameters, we performed an intensive literature review. However, not all parameters could be found in the literature. Furthermore, one has to take into account that biological parameters cannot be estimated to a very high precision.


Model Parameters

Parameter Value Description Comments Parameter Value Description Comments
c1max 0.01 [mM/h] max. transcription rate of constitutive promoter (per gene) promoter no. J23105; Estimate c2max 0.01 [mM/h] max. transcription rate of LuxR-activated promoter (per gene) Estimate
lhi 25 high-copy plasmid number Estimate llo 5 low-copy plasmid number Estimate
a 1% basic production levels Estimate
Degradation constants
dLacI 2.31e-3 [1/s] degradation of LacI Ref. [10] dTetR
  • 1e-5 [1/s]
  • 2.31e-3 [1/s]
degradation of TetR
  • Ref. [9]
  • Ref. [10]
dLuxR 1e-3 - 1e-4 [1/s] degradation of LuxR Ref: [6]
dCI 7e-4 [1/s] degradation of CI Ref. [7] dP22CII degradation of P22CII
dYFP 6.3e-3 [1/min] degradation of YFP suppl. mat. to Ref. [8] corresponding to a half life of 110min dGFP 6.3e-3 [1/min] degradation of GFP in analogy to YFP
dRFP 6.3e-3 [1/min] degradation of RFP in analogy to YFP dCFP 6.3e-3 [1/min] degradation of CFP in analogy to YFP
Dissociation constants
KLacI 0.1 - 1 [pM] LacI repressor dissociation constant Ref. [2] KIPTG 1.3 [µM] IPTG-LacI repressor dissociation constant Ref. [2]
KTetR 179 [pM] TetR repressor dissociation constant Ref. [1] KATC 893 [pM] ATC-TetR repressor dissociation constant Ref. [1]
KLuxR 55 - 520 [nM] LuxR activator dissociation constant Ref: [6] KAHL 0.09 - 1 [µM] AHL-LuxR activator dissociation constant Ref: [6]
KCI
  • 8 [pM]
  • 50 [nM]
CI repressor dissociation constant
  • Ref. [12]
  • starting with values of Ref. [6] and using Ref. [3]
KP22CII 0.577 [µM] P22CII repressor dissociation constant Ref. [11]. Note that they use a protein CII and we have P22CII. Does that match?
Hill cooperativity
nLacI
  • 1
  • 2
LacI repressor Hill cooperativity
