Abstract
Epidermal growth factor and nerve growth factor (NGF) lead to significantly different temporal patterns of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase activation, and differential regulation of Ras and Rap1 have been implicated in mediating this temporal specificity. Now Sasagawa et al. derive a computational model that incorporates the known signalling interactions and identifies key points of regulation that control these processes.
