Metabolic network structure and function in bacteria goes beyond conserved enzyme components
For decades, experimental work has laid the foundation for our understanding of the linear and branched pathways that are integrated to form the metabolic networks on which life is built. Genetic and biochemical approaches applied in model organisms generate empirical data that correlate genes, gene products and their biological activities. In the post-genomic era, these results have served as ...
متن کاملMetabolic networks: enzyme function and metabolite structure.
Metabolism is one of the most complex cellular processes. Connections between biochemical reactions via substrate and product metabolites create complex metabolic networks that may be analyzed using network theory, stoichiometric analysis, and information on protein structure/function and metabolite properties. These frameworks take into consideration different aspects of enzyme chemistry, enzy...
متن کاملConjunction of junctions goes beyond function
SNAREs drum up calcium n page 195, Merz and Wickner show that when two intracellular vesicles fuse, the interaction of their SNARE proteins triggers a short-lived calcium release. The work provides the first clear connection between calcium release and the fusion cycle, and supports a model in which the pairing of SNAREs in trans coordinates the downstream signals that lead to vesicle fusion. P...
متن کاملSirtuin Lipoamidase Activity Is Conserved in Bacteria as a Regulator of Metabolic Enzyme Complexes
Lipoic acid is an essential metabolic cofactor added as a posttranslational modification on several multimeric enzyme complexes. These protein complexes, evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to humans, are core regulators of cellular metabolism. While the multistep enzymatic process of adding lipoyl modifications has been well characterized in Escherichia coli, the enzyme required for the rem...
متن کاملEnzyme function less conserved than anticipated.
The level of sequence similarity that implies similarity in protein structure is well established. Recently, many groups proposed thresholds for similarity in sequence implying similarity in enzymatic function. All previous results suggest the strong conservation of enzymatic function above levels of 50% pairwise sequence identity. Here, I argue that all groups substantially overestimated the c...
