A modified Goldbeter-Koshland (GK) type model is proposed to study the open signaling cascade with forward activation. Three different regimes related to the ultrasensitivity are clearly defined. When the cascade is sufficiently long, the steady states in the downstream cycles exhibit a limiting behavior. Meanwhile, a temporal switch-like behavior is revealed in the pre-ultrasensitivity regime without any feedback circuitry. A detailed analysis of this phenomenon is provided.
