Based on their elegant experiments, Patterson et al. (eLife, 2021) concluded that the G2/M transition in fission yeast is controlled by a bistable switch, but we question that conclusion.
Using detailed stochastic simulations, we show that the coexisting low and high Cdk1 activity states observed by Patterson et al. can be reproduced by either an irreversible/bistable or a reversible/ultrasensitive switch, and our analysis shows why the experiments of Patterson et al. are inconclusive.
We suggest a decisive experiment to distinguish unequivocally between an irreversible/bistable and a reversible/ultrasensitive switch.
