Time course of the cellular concentration of the switching signal according to signal-oriented model b. Because the degradation of S is negligible, S can be regarded as an integrator for CheY-P. The threshold signal th indicates when S has reached the threshold level. This triggers a constant dead time, td, after which the actual switching is taking place, indicated by the signal, sw.
