Abstract：
:Many cells rearrange proteins and other components into spatially distinct domains in a process called polarization. This asymmetric patterning is required for a number of biological processes including asymmetric division, cell migration, and embryonic development. Proteins involved in polarization are highly conserved and include members of the Par and Rho protein families. Despite the importance of these proteins in polarization, it is not yet known how they interact and regulate each other to produce the protein localization patterns associated with polarization. In this study, we develop and analyse a biologically based mathematical model of polarization that incorporates interactions between Par and Rho proteins that are consistent with experimental observations of CDC-42. Using minimal network and eFAST sensitivity analyses, we demonstrate that CDC-42 is predicted to reinforce maintenance of anterior PAR protein polarity which in turn feedbacks to maintain CDC-42 polarization, as well as supporting posterior PAR protein polarization maintenance. The mechanisms for polarity maintenance identified by these methods are not sufficient for the generation of polarization in the absence of cortical flow. Additional inhibitory interactions mediated by the posterior Par proteins are predicted to play a role in the generation of Par protein polarity. More generally, these results provide new insights into the role of CDC-42 in polarization and the mutual regulation of key polarity determinants, in addition to providing a foundation for further investigations.
