Potential drug targets in Mycobacterium tuberculosis through metabolic pathway analysis
The emergence of multidrug resistant varieties of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has led to a search for novel drug targets. We have performed an insilico comparative analysis of metabolic pathways of the host Homo sapiens and the pathogen M. tuberculosis. Enzymes from the biochemical pathways of M. tuberculosis from the KEGG metabolic pathway database were compared with proteins from the host H. s...
متن کاملIntegrated intracellular metabolic profiling and pathway analysis approaches reveal complex metabolic regulation by Clostridium acetobutylicum
BACKGROUND Clostridium acetobutylicum is one of the most important butanol producing strains. However, environmental stress in the fermentation process usually leads to a lower yield, seriously hampering its industrialization. In order to systematically investigate the key intracellular metabolites that influence the strain growth and butanol production, and find out the critical regulation nod...
متن کاملModular decomposition of metabolic reaction networks based on flux analysis and pathway projection
MOTIVATION The rational decomposition of biochemical networks into sub-structures has emerged as a useful approach to study the design of these complex systems. A biochemical network is characterized by an inhomogeneous connectivity distribution, which gives rise to several organizational features, including modularity. To what extent the connectivity-based modules reflect the functional organi...
متن کاملInference of Pathway Decomposition Across Multiple Species Through Gene Clustering
In the wake of gene-oriented data analysis in large-scale bioinformatics studies, focus in research is currently shifting towards the analysis of the functional association of genes, namely the metabolic pathways in which genes participate. The goal of this paper is to attempt to identify the core genes in a specific pathway, based on a user-defined selection of genomes. To this end, a novel al...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Lactobacillus metabolic pathway.
We performed analyses of the phenotypic and genotypic relationships focusing on biosyntheses of amino acids, purine/pyrimidines, and cofactors in three Lactobacillus strains. We found that Lactobacillus fermentum IFO 3956 perhaps synthesized para-aminobenzoate (PABA), an intermediate of folic acid biosynthesis, by an alternative pathway.
