25. Being more precise, the mechanism in (3) differs from the zero-order ultrasensitivity originally proposed by [5] which requires a saturation of kinase by A and phosphatase by A*. In (3) both enzymes are assumed in the nonsaturated linear regime (first order). The ultrasensitivity in this case is derived from the feedback, which represents the cascade behavior of the MAPK pathway. This type of ultrasensitivity could be more selective against nonspecific cross-talks. See [13] for more discussion.
