Kim2011 - the genome scale reconstruction of the Vibrio vulnificus metabolic network - VvuMBEL943

ABSTRACT: This is a model of the genome scale reconstruction of the Vibrio vulnificus metabolic network, VvuMBEL943, described in the article: Integrative genome-scale metabolic analysis of Vibrio vulnificus for drug targeting and discovery Hyun Uk Kim, Soo Young Kim, Haeyoung Jeong, Tae Yong Kim, Jae Jong Kim, Hyon E Choy, Kyu Yang Yi, Joon Haeng Rhee, and Sang Yup Lee. Molecular Systems Biology 7:460 Jan 2011 doi: 10.1038/msb.2010.115 Abstract: Although the genomes of many microbial pathogens have been studied to help identify effective drug targets and novel drugs, such efforts have not yet reached full fruition. In this study, we report a systems biological approach that efficiently utilizes genomic information for drug targeting and discovery, and apply this approach to the opportunistic pathogen Vibrio vulnificus CMCP6. First, we partially re-sequenced and fully re-annotated the V. vulnificus CMCP6 genome, and accordingly reconstructed its genome-scale metabolic network, VvuMBEL943. The validated network model was employed to systematically predict drug targets using the concept of metabolite essentiality, along with additional filtering criteria. Target genes encoding enzymes that interact with the five essential metabolites finally selected were experimentally validated. These five essential metabolites are critical to the survival of the cell, and hence were used to guide the cost-effective selection of chemical analogs, which were then screened for antimicrobial activity in a whole-cell assay. This approach is expected to help fill the existing gap between genomics and drug discovery. This metabolic network model has been thoroughly validated by the authors. VvuMBEL943 is a stoichiometric model that contains the metabolic information of the microbial pathogen, Vibrio vulnificus CMCP6, at genome-scale.

Project description:Kim2009 - Genome-scale metabolic network of Acinetobacter baumannii (AbyMBEL891) This model is described in the article: Genome-scale metabolic network analysis and drug targeting of multi-drug resistant pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii AYE. Kim HU, Kim TY, Lee SY. Mol Biosyst 2010 Feb; 6(2): 339-348 Abstract: Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as a new clinical threat to human health, particularly to ill patients in the hospital environment. Current lack of effective clinical solutions to treat this pathogen urges us to carry out systems-level studies that could contribute to the development of an effective therapy. Here we report the development of a strategy for identifying drug targets by combined genome-scale metabolic network and essentiality analyses. First, a genome-scale metabolic network of A. baumannii AYE, a drug-resistant strain, was reconstructed based on its genome annotation data, and biochemical knowledge from literatures and databases. In order to evaluate the performance of the in silico model, constraints-based flux analysis was carried out with appropriate constraints. Simulations were performed from both reaction (gene)- and metabolite-centric perspectives, each of which identifies essential genes/reactions and metabolites critical to the cell growth. The gene/reaction essentiality enables validation of the model and its comparative study with other known organisms' models. The metabolite essentiality approach was undertaken to predict essential metabolites that are critical to the cell growth. The EMFilter, a framework that filters initially predicted essential metabolites to find the most effective ones as drug targets, was also developed. EMFilter considers metabolite types, number of total and consuming reaction linkage with essential metabolites, and presence of essential metabolites and their relevant enzymes in human metabolism. Final drug target candidates obtained by this system framework are presented along with implications of this approach. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: MODEL1507180029.

Project description:Fang2011 - Genome-scale metabolic network of Burkholderia cenocepacia (iKF1028) This model is described in the article: Exploring the metabolic network of the epidemic pathogen Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 via genome-scale reconstruction. Fang K, Zhao H, Sun C, Lam CM, Chang S, Zhang K, Panda G, Godinho M, Martins dos Santos VA, Wang J. BMC Syst Biol 2011; 5: 83 Abstract: BACKGROUND: Burkholderia cenocepacia is a threatening nosocomial epidemic pathogen in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) or a compromised immune system. Its high level of antibiotic resistance is an increasing concern in treatments against its infection. Strain B. cenocepacia J2315 is the most infectious isolate from CF patients. There is a strong demand to reconstruct a genome-scale metabolic network of B. cenocepacia J2315 to systematically analyze its metabolic capabilities and its virulence traits, and to search for potential clinical therapy targets. RESULTS: We reconstructed the genome-scale metabolic network of B. cenocepacia J2315. An iterative reconstruction process led to the establishment of a robust model, iKF1028, which accounts for 1,028 genes, 859 internal reactions, and 834 metabolites. The model iKF1028 captures important metabolic capabilities of B. cenocepacia J2315 with a particular focus on the biosyntheses of key metabolic virulence factors to assist in understanding the mechanism of disease infection and identifying potential drug targets. The model was tested through BIOLOG assays. Based on the model, the genome annotation of B. cenocepacia J2315 was refined and 24 genes were properly re-annotated. Gene and enzyme essentiality were analyzed to provide further insights into the genome function and architecture. A total of 45 essential enzymes were identified as potential therapeutic targets. CONCLUSIONS: As the first genome-scale metabolic network of B. cenocepacia J2315, iKF1028 allows a systematic study of the metabolic properties of B. cenocepacia and its key metabolic virulence factors affecting the CF community. The model can be used as a discovery tool to design novel drugs against diseases caused by this notorious pathogen. This model is hosted on BioModels Database and identified by: MODEL1507180051.

Project description:Widiastuti2010 - Genome-scale metabolic network Zymomonas mobilis (iZM363) This model is described in the article: Genome-scale modeling and in silico analysis of ethanologenic bacteria Zymomonas mobilis. Widiastuti H, Kim JY, Selvarasu S, Karimi IA, Kim H, Seo JS, Lee DY. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2011 Mar; 108(3): 655-665 Abstract: Bioethanol has been recognized as a potential alternative energy source. Among various ethanol-producing microbes, Zymomonas mobilis has acquired special attention due to its higher ethanol yield and tolerance. However, cellular metabolism in Z. mobilis remains unclear, hindering its practical application for bioethanol production. To elucidate such physiological characteristics, we reconstructed and validated a genome-scale metabolic network (iZM363) of Z. mobilis ATCC31821 (ZM4) based on its annotated genome and biochemical information. The phenotypic behaviors and metabolic states predicted by our genome-scale model were highly consistent with the experimental observations of Z. mobilis ZM4 strain growing on glucose as well as NMR-measured intracellular fluxes of an engineered strain utilizing glucose, fructose, and xylose. Subsequent comparative analysis with Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae as well as gene essentiality and flux coupling analyses have also confirmed the functional role of pdc and adh genes in the ethanologenic activity of Z. mobilis, thus leading to better understanding of this natural ethanol producer. In future, the current model could be employed to identify potential cell engineering targets, thereby enhancing the productivity of ethanol in Z. mobilis.

Project description:Kim2007 - Genome-scale metabolic network of Mannheimia succiniciproducens (iTY425) This model is described in the article: Genome-scale analysis of Mannheimia succiniciproducens metabolism. Kim TY, Kim HU, Park JM, Song H, Kim JS, Lee SY. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2007 Jul; 97(4): 657-671 Abstract: Mannheimia succiniciproducens MBEL55E isolated from bovine rumen is a capnophilic gram-negative bacterium that efficiently produces succinic acid, an industrially important four carbon dicarboxylic acid. In order to design a metabolically engineered strain which is capable of producing succinic acid with high yield and productivity, it is essential to optimize the whole metabolism at the systems level. Consequently, in silico modeling and simulation of the genome-scale metabolic network was employed for genome-scale analysis and efficient design of metabolic engineering experiments. The genome-scale metabolic network of M. succiniciproducens consisting of 686 reactions and 519 metabolites was constructed based on reannotation and validation experiments. With the reconstructed model, the network structure and key metabolic characteristics allowing highly efficient production of succinic acid were deciphered; these include strong PEP carboxylation, branched TCA cycle, relative weak pyruvate formation, the lack of glyoxylate shunt, and non-PTS for glucose uptake. Constraints-based flux analyses were then carried out under various environmental and genetic conditions to validate the genome-scale metabolic model and to decipher the altered metabolic characteristics. Predictions based on constraints-based flux analysis were mostly in excellent agreement with the experimental data. In silico knockout studies allowed prediction of new metabolic engineering strategies for the enhanced production of succinic acid. This genome-scale in silico model can serve as a platform for the systematic prediction of physiological responses of M. succiniciproducens to various environmental and genetic perturbations and consequently for designing rational strategies for strain improvement.
