1 Lecture 13 Systems Biology Saleet Jafri What is Systems Biology? In traditions science a reductionist approach is typically used with an individual system or subsystem is dissected and studied in detail Systems biology integrates information from different sources to understand how larger more complex systems work. 1
2 Systems Biology and Integration Molecule (Gene and Protein) Organelle (cellular subsystem) Cell Organ Organism Environment History of System Biology The Human Genome Project and modern biotechnology have created the ability to gather large amount of information about an organism. Due to the inherent complexity of biological systems, computational methods and models must be used to understand and integrate the data. 2
3 Systems Biology Methods There are many methods used in systems biology and each has its strengths and weaknesses Much of what is called systems biology relates to modeling genetic networks and biochemical reaction networks, however they are not the only methods. Systems Biology Methods I will present an example from my own research that integrates biochemical, biophysical, and microstructural information to explain the basic mechanisms that initiate contraction in the heart. 3

8 Why Study Calcium Sparks? Calcium sparks are the most elementary observed events in excitation contraction coupling Calcium sparks are thought to regulate vascular tone in vascular smooth muscle Calcium sparks provide a good example where cellular structure and the detailed biophysics of cellular components combine to observed experimental behavior Excitation contraction coupling is defective in certain diseases such as heart failure.

12 How do Ca 2+ sparks terminate? Three hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism of Ca 2+ spark termination: 1) Depletion of SR Ca do Ca 2+ sparks terminate because the SR runs out of Ca 2+? This is ruled out because a) There is still Ca available for release after a Ca 2+ transient (Bassani et al., 1995; Trafford et al., 1997) and b) Ca 2+ sparks can last a long time up to seconds. long Ca 2+ calcium sparks (ryanodine) 1 sec (from Cheng, Lederer & Cannell (1993) Science 262:74) 2) Stochastic attrition? If Ca 2+ sparks terminate by "stochastic attrition", it is meant that termination happens when all of the RyR s just happen to close at the same time. This can occur if there is one or a just a few RyR's, but it is unlikely when the number of RyR s in a cluster is large (e.g. 6 or more) (see analysis by Stern and others, starting with Stern, 1992). In adult heart cells the clusters of RyR's contain 3 or more. 3) Could Ca 2+ sparks terminate because the RyRs "inactivate"? If not, could "adaptation" do the job? There are two problems: First, simple inactivation of RyRs has NOT been observed in planar lipid bilayer experiments. Second, adaptation ("complicated inactivation") of RyRs is too slow (1 s of ms to seconds). (Gyorke and Fill, 1993; Valdivia et al., 1995) Recent experimental results suggested another hypothesis to us... 12
13 Hypothesis Ca 2+ sparks terminate because of the influence of three factors on RyR gating 1. Large number of RyRs (Franzini-Armstrong et al., 1998) 2. SR lumenal [Ca 2+ ] 3. Coupled gating of RyRs [Ca 2+ ] lumen and RyR gating Coupled gating of RyRs RYR'S 2 1 control + FK56 trans [Ca 2+ ]=2 μm trans [Ca 2+ ]=5 mm RYR'S 2 1 from Gyorke & Gyorke (1998) Biophys J. 75:28 Skeletal Muscle RyRs: Marx et al., (1998) Science 281:818.

29 Summary/Conclusions Our sticky cluster model of a Ca 2+ release unit can simulate Ca 2+ sparks that terminate reliably. Termination occurs through coupled gating and the influence of lumenal calcium. Reducing coupling between RyRs increases Ca 2+ spark duration, consistent with experimental effects of FK56. Ca 2+ spark magnitude is only mildly sensitive to the number of RyR's in the cluster and the Ca 2+ spark duration is even less sensitive to this number. Release from adjacent sights might combine to give spark widths of 2 μm as observed experimentally. The spontaneous spark rate alteration due to SR buffers is likely due to their effect on refilling of the SR. Current Work We have integrated the Ca 2+ spark model into a model for whole cell Ca 2+ dynamics of the cardiac myocyte to demonstrate that the summation of many sparks from different release sites give rise to the global Ca 2+ transient. 29
