After the removal of the extracellular antibiotic, efflux and inhibition dynamics combine to delay the synthesis of ribosomes in a concentration-dependent manner (panel ii). Colors indicate increasing antibiotic concentration, as shown in panel ii.

Personalized liver function tests: A Multiscale Computational Model Predicts Individual Human Liver Function From Single-Cell Metabolism

Understanding how liver function arises from the complex interaction of morphology, perfusion, and metabolism from single cells up to the entire organ requires systems-levels computational approaches. We report a multiscale mathematical model of the Human liver comprising the scales from single hepatocytes, over representation of ultra-structure and micro-circulation ...

Growth-factor deprived mCFU-E cells (5x106 cells per condition) and BaF3-EpoR cells (1x107 cells per condition) were stimulated with different Epo doses and absolute concentrations were determined for pEpoR (B), pAKT (C), ppERK (D). The scale for pS6 (E) was estimated in arbitrary units. GTP-Ras (F) and ppERK were determined upon stimulation with indicated, color-coded Epo doses. pEpoR was analyzed by immunoprecipitation followed by immunoblotting, GTP-Ras was analyzed after pulldown using a ...

Transcriptional response to a sudden increase in extracellular ligand (hormone), for the six network designs of (A). The transcriptional response is taken to equal the ratio ReNrL/Retotal, i.e., the fraction of REs attaching ligand-bound NR. The ligand concentration was increased from 0 to 0.005 nM and maintained constant at the latter level. The observation that design 6 is higher than all other designs at long times is robust for parameter changes up to a factor of 3.

Determination of essential amino acids for Streptococcus pyogenes M49

Lactic acid bacteria generally use homolactic fermentation for generation of ATP. Here we studied the role of Arginine and Glutamine metabolism on the general physiology of the lactic acid bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes. A deletion mutant of glnA (glutamine synthetase) has been constructed in the S. pyogenes M49 591 background. The glnA mutant strain shows decreased growth in low glutamine and excess glutamate conditions and no growth at all in low glutamine and low glutamate conditions. An arcA ...

The reconstruction of the metabolic networks is done by sequence comparison with already annotated genomes of L. lactis, L. plantarum, B. subtilis and E. coli

Here you will find all pre-liminary data

Pyruvate kinase (PYK, EC 2.7.1.40) is a key step in glycolysis converting phosphoenolpyruvate into pyruvate. The activity of PYK is activator-dependent, with the allosteric activation mostly being due to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP).

Pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) is an important enzyme in the metabolic pathway of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and is held responsible for the regulation of the shift between homolactic acid to mixed acid fermentation. PFL catalysis the reversible reaction of acetyl-CoA and formate into pyruvate and CoA. A glycyl radical, who is regenerated within the reaction, is involved; therefore, PFL works only under strictly anaerobic conditions. For its activation, the C-terminal domain has to bind to the ...

The two lactic acid bacteria L. lactis and S. pyogenes were studied with respect to the concentration of intracellular metabolites involved in glycolysis in time upon a glucose pulse. Models that describe this behavior are also constructed

Lactic acid bacteria generally use homolactic fermentation for generation of ATP. Here we studied the role of the lactate dehydrogenase enzyme on the general physiology of the three lactic acid bacteria Lactococcus lactis, Enterococcus faecalis and Streptococcus pyogenes. Surprisingly deletion of the ldh genes hardly affected the growth rate in chemically defined medium, however growth rate was affected in rich medium. Furthermore, deletion of ldh affected the ability for utilization of various ...

we describe a multi-compartmental model consisting of a mesophyll cell with plastid and mitochondrion, a phloem cell, as well as a root cell with mitochondrion. In this model, the phloem was considered as a non-growing transport compartment, the mesophyll compartment was considered as both autotrophic (growing on CO2 under light) and heterotrophic (growing on starch in darkness), and the root was always considered as heterotrophic tissue completely dependent on sucrose supply from the mesophyll ...

For all experiments, primary CFU-E cells were starved and stimulated with 5 U/ml Epo. At the indicated time points, samples were subjected to quantitative immunoblotting. Experimental data (black circles) with estimated standard errors and trajectories of the best fit (solid lines) are represented. Mass spectrometry data represent replicates of four independent experiments.

This study includes the experimental data for model validation and the model predictions of that data set.

This study includes all the experimental data, SOPs and modelling files for the individual reactions used for the model construction.

Since over 40 enzymes will be investigated for their mRNA abundance, processing, and degradation kinetics, the less tedious and more accurate Next Generation Sequencing of the entire mRNA repertoire of the cell is employed. To optimise the proportion of useful sequence, while including RNA fragments that are products of of degradation, rRNA is depleted using the eukaryotic Ribominus kit (Ambion). Two biological replicates are treated with Sinefungin and Actinomycin D to inhibit RNA processing and ...

For cells to accurately read out the genomic content, high fidelity during transcription is required. This is mainly established by the accuracy of the active centre of RNA polymerase (RNAP). Based on in vitro experiments with Escherichia coli RNAP it was also suggested that proofreading of transcription via RNA hydrolysis by RNAP may contribute to overall fidelity and processivity. RNAP’s intrinsic cleavage activity is stimulated by the highly conserved Gre factors suggesting that Gre factors ...

The enzyme Trypanothione Synthetase (TryS) is a complex enzyme that catalyses the two step reaction that forms trypanothione from 2 molecules of GSH and 1 molecule of Spd and the use of ATP
