Network-level architecture and the evolutionary potential of underground metabolism

Open access

Abstract

Significance: Understanding how new metabolic pathways emerge is one of the key issues in evolutionary and systems biology. The prevailing paradigm is that evolution capitalizes on the weak side activities of preexisting enzymes (i.e. underground reactions). However, the extent to which underground reactions provide novelties in the context of the entire cellular system has remained unexplored. In this study, we present a comprehensive computational model of the underground metabolism of Escherichia coli . Together with a high-throughput experimental survey across hundreds of nutrient environments we predicted and confirmed new functional states of metabolism in which underground reactions allow growth when their activity is increased. Our approach has important implications for biotechnological and medical applications, such as understanding gain-of-function mutations in tumor development.

  • DLKcat could differentiate between native (top 10% experimental kcat values, median = 2.22 s-1) and underground (last 10%, median = 0.04 s-1) substrates for human aldo-keto reductase and 61 substrates (P = 0.0039).

    “The concept of native and underground metabolism 24 could be exemplified with the rich experimental k cat data that are available for human aldo-keto reductase and 61 substrates, where DLKcat could differentiate (Fig. 2d; P = 0.0039) between native (top 10% experimental k cat values, median = 2.22 s -1 ) and underground (last 10%, median = 0.04 s -1 ) substrates.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
