Increasing C transcript translation rate: k C is increased from the lower value (3/5 1/min) as taken in [6] to the value which equals those for R and M transcripts (3 1/min). The effect of this decrease is assessed for: a The dynamics of the protein synthesis, with the black curve corresponding to the lowest (wt) k C, and the light gray curve corresponding to the highest k C (which equals those of R and M transcripts). The curves in different shades of gray correspond to the gradually increasing k C values. b The relative delay (normalized with respect to wt) of R with respect to M expression. c The maximal slope of the R expression curve, reflecting the transition velocity from “OFF” to “ON” state. d The stability of R steady-state levels, is shown on the vertical axis
