Abstract:
Plant and microbial metabolic engineering is commonly used in the production of functional foods and quality trait improvement. Computational model-based approaches have been used in this important endeavour. However, to date, fish metabolic models have only been scarcely and partially developed, in marked contrast to their prominent success in metabolic engineering. In this study we present the reconstruction of fully compartmentalised models of the Danio rerio (zebrafish) on a global scale. This reconstruction involves extraction of known biochemical reactions in D. rerio for both primary and secondary metabolism and the implementation of methods for determining subcellular localisation and assignment of enzymes. The reconstructed model (ZebraGEM) is amenable for constraint-based modelling analysis, and accounts for 4,988 genes coding for 2,406 gene-associated reactions and only 418 non-gene-associated reactions. A set of computational validations (i.e., simulations of known metabolic functionalities and experimental data) strongly testifies to the predictive ability of the model. Overall, the reconstructed model is expected to lay down the foundations for computational-based rational design of fish metabolic engineering in aquaculture.

Project description:Lake trout are used as bioindicators for toxics exposure in the Great Lakes ecosystem. However, there is no knowledge about lake trout proteome. Here we performed the first lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) liver proteomics and searched the databases against (NCBI and UniProtKB) Salvelinus, Salmonidae, Actinopterygii and the more distant Danio rerio. In the NCBI search, we identified 4371 proteins in 1252 clusters. From these proteins, we found 2175 proteins in Actinopterygii 1253 in Salmonidae, 69 in Salvelinus and 901 in Danio rerio NCBI searches. In the UniProtKB search, we identified 2630 proteins in 1100 clusters. From these proteins, we found 317 in Actinopterygii, 1653 in Salmonidae, 37 in Salvelinus and 666 in Danio rerio UniProtKB searches. A similar outcome was also obtained from a technical replicate experiment. A large number of lake trout liver proteins were not in any Salvelinus databases, suggesting that lake trout liver proteins have homologues to some proteins from the Salmonidae family and Actinopterygii class, as well as to the species Danio rerio, a more highly studied Cypriniformes fish. Therefore, our study not only builds the first comprehensive lake trout protein database, but also establishes protein homology-based evolutionary relationships between the fish within their family and class, as well as distant-related fish (lake trout and zebrafish). In addition, this study opens the possibility of identifying evolutionary relationships (i.e. adaptive mutations) between various groups (i.e. zebrafish, Salmonidae, Salvelinus and lake trout) through evolutionary proteomics
