给定代谢通量分布的酶成本,作为对数代谢物水平的函数,是凸的

The enzyme cost of given metabolic flux distributions, as a function of logarithmic metabolite levels, is convex

Wolfram Liebermeister, Elad Noor

摘要:

在进化和生物工程中,酶的成本在代谢途径的选择中起着重要作用。给定所需的通量,可以基于已知的速率定律和最小酶成本的原则来估计所需的酶水平。以对数代谢物水平为自由变量,酶的成本函数和约束条件的最优性和抽样问题可以很容易地处理。这组可行的代谢物谱在对数浓度空间中形成一个多面体,其点代表动力学模型的所有可能的稳态。我们表明,酶的成本是一个凸函数在这个多胞形。这使得酶成本最小化-找到以最小成本实现所需通量的最佳酶谱和相应的代谢产物谱-凸优化问题。

英文摘要:

Enzyme costs play a major role in the choice of metabolic routes, both in evolution and bioengineering. Given desired fluxes, necessary enzyme levels can be estimated based on known rate laws and on a principle of minimal enzyme cost. With logarithmic metabolite levels as free variables, enzyme cost functions and constraints in optimality and sampling problems can be handled easily. The set of feasible metabolite profiles forms a polytope in log-concentration space, whose points represent all possible steady states of a kinetic model. We show that enzyme cost is a convex function on this polytope. This makes enzyme cost minimization - finding optimal enzyme profiles and corresponding metabolite profiles that realize a desired flux at a minimal cost - a convex optimization problem.
