【 摘 要 】

Gene expression data of cell cultures is commonly measured in biological and medical studies to understand cellular decision-making in various conditions. Metabolism, affected but not solely determined by the expression, is much more difficult to measure experimentally. Finding a reliable method to predict cell metabolism for expression data will greatly benefit metabolic engineering. We have developed a novel pipeline, OVERLAY, that can explore cellular fluxomics from expression data using only a high-quality genome-scale metabolic model. This is done through two main steps: first, construct a protein-constrained metabolic model (PC-model) by integrating protein and enzyme information into the metabolic model (M-model). Secondly, overlay the expression data onto the PC-model using a novel two-step nonconvex and convex optimization formulation, resulting in a context-specific PC-model with optionally calibrated rate constants. The resulting model computes proteomes and intracellular flux states that are consistent with the measured transcriptomes. Therefore, it provides detailed cellular insights that are difficult to glean individually from the omic data or M-model alone. We apply the OVERLAY to interpret triacylglycerol (TAG) overproduction by Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, using time-course RNA-Seq data. We show that OVERLAY can compute C. reinhardtii metabolism under nitrogen deprivation and metabolic shifts after an acetate boost. OVERLAY can also suggest possible ‘bottleneck’ proteins that need to be overexpressed to increase the TAG accumulation rate, as well as discuss other TAG-overproduction strategies.
