public class Txn2bDipAff

extends Affector

Diploid version of Txn2bAff. Reduces to same result if the two alleles are identical. Assumptions for diploidizing: Txn2b implements transcriptional activation under the control of one extracellular activator expressed on neighboring cells and one cytoplasmic inhibitor, the latter of which competetively inhibits the activator. The inhibitor behaves as if it titrates away the activator according to some dose-response curve; another way to look at it is that the inhibitor raises the threshhold for activation.

Formula
EFFECTIVE_ACT = ACTIVATOR(neighbors) * ( 1 - INHIBITOR^nu_INHIB / (K_INHIBITOR^nu_INHIB + INHIBITOR^nu_INHIB))
dnodex/dt = (1 / H_nodex) * EFFECTIVE_ACT^nu_ACT / (K_ACT^nu_ACT + EFFECTIVE_ACT^nu_ACT)

Parameters

Inhibitor 1 [INHIBITOR1]	The inhibitor allele 1 Node
Inhibitor 2 [INHIBITOR2]	The inhibitor allele 2 Node
Activator 1 [ACTIVATOR1]	The transcriptional activator allele 1 Node
Activator 2 [ACTIVATOR2]	The transcriptional activator allele 2 Node
Half-max activation level allele 1 [K_ACTIVATOR1nodex]	The concentration of activator allele 1 at which transcription proceeds at half its maximal rate
Half-max activation level allele 2 [K_ACTIVATOR2nodex]	The concentration of activator allele 2 at which transcription proceeds at half its maximal rate
Activator Cooperativity allele 1 [nu_ACTIVATOR1nodex]	The non-linearity of the activating function allele 1. The higher the value, the sharper the curves in the S-shaped activation function
Activator Cooperativity allele 2 [nu_ACTIVATOR2nodex]	The non-linearity of the activating function allele 2. The higher the value, the sharper the curves in the S-shaped activation function
mRNA Half-life [H_nodex]	The half life of the product mRNA
Half-max inhibition level allele 1 [K_INHIBITOR1]	The concentration of inhibitor allele 1 at which transcription proceeds at half the rate it would have otherwise
Half-max inhibition level allele 2 [K_INHIBITOR2]	The concentration of inhibitor allele 2 at which transcription proceeds at half the rate it would have otherwise
Inhibition Cooperativity allele 1 [nu_INHIBITOR1]	The non-linearity of the inhibiting function allele 1. The higher the value, the sharper the curves in the upside-down S-shaped inhibition function
Inhibition Cooperativity allele 2 [nu_INHIBITOR2]	The non-linearity of the inhibiting function allele 2. The higher the value, the sharper the curves in the upside-down S-shaped inhibition function

NOTE - you can accomplish this same function using the meta-enhancers, and those are a more general framework for putting together transcription terms.
