Metabolic states with maximal specific rate carry flux through an elementary flux mode

Abstract: Specific product formation rates and cellular growth rates are important maximization targets in biotechnology and microbial evolution. Maximization of a specific rate (i.e. a rate expressed per unit biomass amount) requires the expression of particular metabolic pathways at optimal enzyme concentrations. In contrast to the prediction of maximal product yields, any prediction of optimal specific rates at the genome scale is currently computationally intractable, even if the kinetic properties of all enzymes ar… Show more

“…However, non-linear protein costs have also been reported [17], possibly as a result of effects related to protein activity rather than production [18]. Secondly, the concentration of each protein should be precisely tuned [16,19]. This has been found for several enzymes in E. coli, [20,21,17,22], Lactococcus lactis [23][24][25] and Saccharomyces cerevisiae [26].…”

“…If one considers a fixed flux through the metabolic pathway, then minimization of the enzyme mass allocated yields a biologically convenient solution. Particularly in the context of maximum growth rate prediction of microbial cells, there are theoretical results that support the existence of such optimal rates defined by a single EFM . More recently, enzyme‐flux cost minimization (EFCM) has been proposed to rationally explain the trade‐offs between growth rate and yield(s) based on the ECM framework …”

“…Particularly in the context of maximum growth rate prediction of microbial cells, there are theoretical results that support the existence of such optimal rates defined by a single EFM. [70,71] More recently, enzyme-flux cost minimization (EFCM) has been proposed to rationally explain the trade-offs between growth rate and yield(s) based on the ECM framework. [72] Application of ECM has been mostly focused on evaluating alternative metabolic pathways fulfilling known biological functions such as carbon assimilation [20] and efficient carbon conversions.…”

“…It has recently been shown (Müller et al 2014, Wortel et al 2014) that maximal steady state specific flux is attained in special type of pathway, called an Elementary Flux Mode (EFM). An EFM is a pathway that has a minimal number of enzymes involved: it allows for a balanced flow of metabolism, but this possibility is void if any one of its enzymes is removed from the pathway.…”
