The pathway diagrams of the Rho GTPase cycle and their simulation programs were described using CellDesigner (Systems Biology Institute, Tokyo, Japan) [50], and were simulated by SOSLib in CellDesigner. All kinetic reactions in the pathway diagrams in FigureĀ 1 were described by ordinary differential equations based on mass-action kinetics (reactions 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, and 8) or Michaelisā€“Menten kinetics (reactions 4 and 5) [51,52].
