Abstract
Genetic switch systems with mutual repression of two transcription factors are studied using deterministic and stochastic methods. Numerous studies have concluded that cooperative binding is a necessary condition for the emergence of bistability in these systems. Here we show that, for a range of biologically relevant conditions, a suitable combination of network structure and stochastic effects gives rise to bistability even without cooperative binding.
