Deriving phylogenetic trees from the similarity analysis of metabolic pathways
MOTIVATION Comparative analysis of metabolic pathways in different genomes can give insights into the understanding of evolutionary and organizational relationships among species. This type of analysis allows one to measure the evolution of complete processes (with different functional roles) rather than the individual elements of a conventional analysis. We present a new technique for the phyl...
متن کاملExtraction of Modules from the Metabolic Pathways with Phylogenetic Profile
The concept of modularity assumes that functionality can be partitioned into a collection of modules. Each module is a discrete entity of elementary components and performs an identifiable task, separable from the functions of other modules [3]. As the modules in the protein 3D structure can be related to molecular functions, the modules in the protein network may be related to cellular functio...
متن کاملExtraction of phylogenetic network modules from prokayrote metabolic pathways.
In the post-genomic era, it is important to analyze interaction networks that include genes, proteins, enzymes and compounds such as a metabolic pathway. Every organism has such networks individually. However, several parts of them are conserved in different organisms. The purpose of this analysis is to extract sub-networks composed of these common elements through the phylogenetic analysis. We...
متن کاملThe phylogenetic extent of metabolic enzymes and pathways.
The evolution of metabolic enzymes and pathways has been a subject of intense study for more than half a century. Yet, so far, previous studies have focused on a small number of enzyme families or biochemical pathways. Here, we examine the phylogenetic distribution of the full-known metabolic complement of Escherichia coli, using sequence comparison against taxa-specific databases. Half of the ...
متن کاملRobust Analysis of Metabolic Pathways
Flux balance analysis (FBA) is a standard optimization model that is used to study the metabolisms of cells that are in a steady state of optimal growth. The model optimizes a biologically defined objective while assuming (1) equilibria of a linear system of ordinary differential equations, and (2) deterministic data. However, the steady state assumption is imperfect from a biological point of ...
