The Pm/Xyls promotor system is a positive regulator system where the regulator molcule, Xyls, is constitutivly produced. When Xyls binds to the inducer, m-toluic acid, this complex is able to bind to the Pm promoter(see figure 1). Binding to the promoter facilitates binding of RNA polymerase (RNAp) making it active (RNApa). This enables the production of mRNA in (1) elongation step, and (2) translation. The mRNA will be translated into the recombinant protein, or in our case, RFP. Over time mRNA and RFP will be degraded to some extent.

Figure: Overview of how the Pm/Xyls Promotor system funtions. Production of recombinant protein is dependent on access to the indicer m-toluic acid.
The reaction equations in the Pm/Xyls promotor system are listed below. The degradation of mRNA and RFP will inhibit an exponential growth in their production, and after some time the levels of mRNA and RFP will stabilize around a steady state.

A deterministic simulation of the system was run on Cain software with the parameters as viewed in figure 2. Only the number/consentration of the inducer was varieted. A .zip file with all of the modeling files can be downloaded
here.The csv files are named according to the number of inducer that was applied in the deterministic simulation. Stochastic analysis of the system, also using the Cain software, shows that fluctuations are much larger when the inducer level is low. This is to be expected, since stochastic effects are known to be important in many cases where molecule numbers become small (much less than 100). The overall (and average)results of the stochastic simulations agreed with the deterministic ones, and for simplicity we only show the deterministic data.

Figure 2: Overview of parameters applied in the Cain program
The labels of the species (reaction molecules) are as follow: XLS = Xyls, inducer = m-toluic acid, XLSinducer = complex of XylS and m-toluic acid, DNA = plasmic DNA, XDNA = Binding of XLSindicer to the DNA, RNAp = RNA polymerase, RNApa = active RNA polymerase, E = elongation, RFP = red fluorescent protein.
Varies starter concentration of inducer (0, 0.06, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 and 6 µM) gave the result as indicated in figure 3 and the table below.

Figure 3: Different concentrations of inducer (0 to 6 uM) was applyed in the deterministic simulations, yeilding different amounts of RFP.
Start consentration (µM) of inducer | Molecules of inducer | Consentration (µM) of RFP (steady state) | Molcules of RFP (steady state) |

0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
0.06 | 100 | 0.51 | 850 |
0.3 | 500 | 0.63 | 1050 |
0.6 | 1000 | 0.66 | 1100 |
