2 Overview Introduc+on MoXvaXon System idenxficaxon framework (SID) Previous work on genome- scale models Modified Model Background Example SID Valida+on Experiments QualitaXve and QuanXtaXve SID experiments Xylitol producxon: cofactor balance Conclusion 2

3 Why model metabolic networks? 3

4 The associaxon of metabolism with genome Lewis, Nagarajan and Palsson, Nature Reviews Microbiology, 10, 291,

5 ReconstrucXon of Genome- Scale Models Osterlund, Nookaew and Nielsen, Biotechnology Advances, 30, 979,

6 Gaps to fill Difficult to validate model and assess model accuracy due to the scale and complexity Difficult to extract mechanisxc insight embedded in the metabolic network from numerical simulaxon results In other words, how to obtain comprehensive, qualitaxve understandings from the oeen complicated quanxtaxve computaxonal results? 6

7 What is system idenxficaxon based framework? 7

8 Systems idenxficaxon based framework Design Experiments Black- Box Genome- scale Model in silico Results System ID to Extract Biological InformaXon Knowledge *Liang, Damiani, He & Wang, ACS Sustainable chemistry & Engineering, 2, 38,

10 Model system: Scheffersomyces sxpixs Scheffersomyces s,pi,s is very important for biofuels producxon from lignocellulosic biomass Highest naxve capacity for xylose fermentaxon Role of redox balance in xylose metabolism of S. s,pi,s SensiXvity to oxygen uptake driven by redox balance 10

11 Metabolic network models for S. s,pi,s Two genome- scale models have been published on S. s,p,ts iss884: Caspeta et al. BMC System Biology, 2012, 6:24 ibb814: Balagurunathan et al. Microbial Cell Factories, 2012, 11:27 Specifica+on iss884 ibb814 Approach Semi- AutomaXc Manual Reac+ons Cytosol Mitochondria Peroxisome 60 N/A Transport Metabolites Genes

12 Recap and limitaxons of metabolic network models Purpose iss884 ibb814 QualitaXve Experiments QuanXtaXve Experiments Sys. ID Experiments Metabolic Flow Xylitol ProducXon 12

13 Design of in silico experiments Basic idea: examine how the models respond to increased oxygen uptake rate (OUR) in oxygen limited condixon. The correct answer is known: increase fluxes through TCA cycle, Electron Transport Chain, and as well as increased fluxed through Pentose Phosphate Pathway and Glycolysis. If the system ID results match the correct answer, then the model is accurate, at least in this aspect. 13

14 In silico experimental setup Xylose pick up rate: upper limit at 5 mmol/gdw*hr; Two oxygen pick up rate ranges are examined; Oxygen- limited : mmol/gdw*hr Ammonium, sulphate, and phosphate: unconstrained Color code (Traffic light) Red decrease Green increase Gray neutral 14

15 System ID Results Oxygen limited iss884 ibb814 15
