摘要
The transcription factors PU.1 and GATA-1 antagonize each other in common myeloid progenitors and their relative abundance is thought to decide whether the cell follows the erythrocyte/megakaryocyte lineage or the granulocyte/macrophage lineage. We propose a kinetic model for the PU.1-GATA-1 interaction, analyse its phase space and interpret the results of our analysis. The conclusions have broader implications for the modelling of cell-fate selection.
