On the regulation of central carbon metabolism in S. cerevisiae
Bruck, Josef
Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Fakultät I
Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, den zentralen Kohlenstoffwechsel mit besonderem Fokus auf Regulation zu untersuchen, insbesondere durch die Auftrennung von zwei Regulationsebenen: metabolische Regulation, assoziiert mit direkten Wech- selwirkungen zwischen Metaboliten und Enzymen, sowie hierarchische Regulation, assoziiert mit Änderungen in Enzymmengenänderungen durch die Regulation von de novo Enzymproduktion. Unsere Untersuchungen basieren größtenteils auf drei Datensätzen aus glukoselimitierten Chemostatkulturen von S. cerevisiae. Im Kap. 2 wurden Extrazelluläre Bedingungen im Makroskopischen unter- sucht. Das wichtigsten Ergebnis dieser the- oretischen Analyse ist die Charakterisierung des Selektionsdruckes in einem Chemostatkultur. Im Kap. 4 wurde eine Analyse auf Systemebene des zentralen Kohlenstoffwech- sels durchgeführt. Unter Verwendung der Metaboliten- und der Flußdaten wurde ein kinetisches Modell konstruiert, welches wesentliche Teile des zentralen Kohlen- stoffwechsels umfaßt. Die meisten kinetischen Ausdrücke und Parameterwerte wurden aus einem bestehenden kinetischen Modells (Teusink-Modell) übernom- men.
 
In this work, we aimed to elucidate central carbon metabolism focusing on the aspect of regulation, especially by separating two regulatory levels: metabolic regulation, associated with direct interactions of metabolites and enzymes, and hierarchic regulation, associated with enzyme level change via regulation of de novo enzyme production. Our investigations were largely based on the analysis of three datasets from glucose limited continuous cultures of S. cerevisiae. Extracellular conditions on the macroscopic scale were investigated in Chapter 2. This was inspired by the perceived lack of clarity regarding an important aspect: concentration of glucose, the limiting nutrient and main carbon source in these cultures. The main outcome of this theoretical analysis was characterisation of the selection pressure in a chemostat culture, as selecting for cells which produce the growth rate, defined by the pre-set dilution rate, with lower external concentration of the limiting nutrient. Flux regulation on the scale of individual enzymes was investigated for selected reactions in Chapter 3. This analysis was based on the attempt to reproduce flux changes through these reactions, using enzyme kinetic expressions with inputs from the three aforementioned datasets. The notion of hierarchic and metabolic regulation was introduced and modified. System-level analysis of central carbon metabolism was undertaken in Chap- ter 4. Using the information on metabolite levels and flux, a kinetic model representing significant parts of central carbon metabolism was constructed. To get feasible flux distributions, constrained metabolic flux balance analysis was performed, using a stoichiometric network, constructed to be consistent with the model’s stoichiometry. Fitting the model resulted in two sets of parameters corresponding to steady states reproducing, the nominal data values of the anaerobic and the fully aerobic conditions.
