Title: Metabolic impact assessment for heterologous protein production in Streptomyces lividans based on genome-scale metabolic network modeling. Author: Lule I, D'Huys PJ, Van Mellaert L, Anné J, Bernaerts K, Van Impe J. Journal: Math Biosci; 2013 Nov; 246(1):113-21. PubMed ID: 24041624. Abstract: The metabolic impact exerted on a microorganism due to heterologous protein production is still poorly understood in Streptomyces lividans. In this present paper, based on exometabolomic data, a proposed genome-scale metabolic network model is used to assess this metabolic impact in S. lividans. Constraint-based modeling results obtained in this work revealed that the metabolic impact due to heterologous protein production is widely distributed in the genome of S. lividans, causing both slow substrate assimilation and a shift in active pathways. Exchange fluxes that are critical for model performance have been identified for metabolites of mouse tumor necrosis factor, histidine, valine and lysine, as well as biomass. Our results unravel the interaction of heterologous protein production with intracellular metabolism of S. lividans, thus, a possible basis for further studies in relieving the metabolic burden via metabolic or bioprocess engineering.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
