Description
Summary:The regulatory mechanisms driving progression of the yeast cell cycle appears to be comprised of an interacting network of transcription factors (TFs), cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) and ubiquitin ligases. From a systems perspective the controlling regulatory network must produce robust periodic behavior during proliferative phases, but have the capability to halt the cycle when unfavorable conditions trigger a checkpoint arrest. How the individual components of the network contribute to these dynamical phenotypes remains an open question. Here we evaluate the capability of a simplified network model hypothesized to contain key elements of the regulation of cell-cycle progression to reproduce observed transcriptomic behaviors. We match time-series data from both cycling and checkpoint arrested cells to the predictions of a relatively simple cell-cycle network model using an asynchronous multi-level Boolean approach. We show that this single network model, despite its simplicity, is capable of exhibiting dynamical behavior similar to the datasets in most cases, and where it does not, we identified hypotheses that suggest missing components of the network.
