随机化基因组规模的代谢网络

Randomizing genome-scale metabolic networks

Areejit Samal, Olivier C. Martin

摘要:

来自蛋白质相互作用、转录调节、信号传导或代谢的网络可能具有“不寻常”的性质。为了量化这一点,可以将网络随机化,并测试网络在统计上与动机集合中的预期没有差异的假设。然而,当处理代谢网络时,使用边交换的网络的随机化产生在生物化学上无意义的虚构反应。在这里,我们提供了几个自然的随机代谢网络合奏。第一个约束是使用有效的生化反应。进一步的约束对应于施加适当的功能约束。我们解释了如何执行这些随机化的帮助下,马尔可夫链蒙特卡罗(MCMC),并表明,他们允许接近生物代谢网络的属性。目前的工作的含义是,观察到的全球结构特性的真正的代谢网络很可能是简单的生化和功能的限制的后果。

英文摘要:

Networks coming from protein-protein interactions, transcriptional regulation, signaling, or metabolism may appear to have "unusual" properties. To quantify this, it is appropriate to randomize the network and test the hypothesis that the network is not statistically different from expected in a motivated ensemble. However, when dealing with metabolic networks, the randomization of the network using edge exchange generates fictitious reactions that are biochemically meaningless. Here we provide several natural ensembles of randomized metabolic networks. A first constraint is to use valid biochemical reactions. Further constraints correspond to imposing appropriate functional constraints. We explain how to perform these randomizations with the help of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and show that they allow one to approach the properties of biological metabolic networks. The implication of the present work is that the observed global structural properties of real metabolic networks are likely to be the consequence of simple biochemical and functional constraints.
