代谢网络的解空间:乘积、鲁棒性和涨落

The solution space of metabolic networks: producibility, robustness and fluctuations

A. De Martino, E. Marinari

摘要:

通量分析是一类研究生化反应网络的基于约束的方法:它们基于确定与给定的化学计量和热力学约束相容的反应通量配置。其主要应用领域之一是细胞代谢网络的研究。我们简要地和选择性地回顾了这个问题的主要方法,然后,在最近的工作的基础上,我们提供了一个表征的生产能力的代谢网络的细菌大肠杆菌在一个指定的生长介质中的可生产的生化物种。虽然一个强有力的和具有生理意义的生产概况(包括生物质成分、生物质产品、废物等)已清楚地显现出来,潜在的制约因素仍然允许甚至ATP等关键代谢物的显著波动,因此,显然为非常不同的增长情景奠定了基础。

英文摘要:

Flux analysis is a class of constraint-based approaches to the study of biochemical reaction networks: they are based on determining the reaction flux configurations compatible with given stoichiometric and thermodynamic constraints. One of its main areas of application is the study of cellular metabolic networks. We briefly and selectively review the main approaches to this problem and then, building on recent work, we provide a characterization of the productive capabilities of the metabolic network of the bacterium E.coli in a specified growth medium in terms of the producible biochemical species. While a robust and physiologically meaningful production profile clearly emerges (including biomass components, biomass products, waste etc.), the underlying constraints still allow for significant fluctuations even in key metabolites like ATP and, as a consequence, apparently lay the ground for very different growth scenarios.
