Text S1: Method Detail – Determining Host Metabolic Limitations on Viral Replication via Integrated Modeling and Experimental Perturbation

چکیده
The media definitions used for simulations are given in Table S1. The three minimal media are welldefined; the Tryptone media composition is based on the BD Bionutrients Technical Manual. While most metabolite media components are considered exhaustible, some metabolites are present in excess, which is simulated by returning to a preset concentration at every FBA time step. Certain modifications had to be made in the integrated model to account for different media conditions. For example, our experiments were performed at 37◦C, but the original T7 ODEs were produced to model a 30◦C environment. We therefore modified some of the parameters, as listed and explained in Table S5. Equilibrium binding constants were assumed not to change with temperature. Parameters not listed in Table S5 are consistent with previous implementations [1]. Furthermore, the original FBA regulatory rules identified in [2] had never been optimized for growth on rich media, and the model was therefore very limited in its ability to simulate reasonable growth rates. We therefore relaxed several of these rules to allow smooth growth on media containing only amino acid carbon sources in the combination present in our representation of tryptone. A list of relaxed regulatory rules is given in (Table S2). Some of the FBA uptake bounds were determined by fitting dynamic rFBA simulations to experimental measurements in the absence of virus. Experimental data for host growth in the different media are shown, together with fitted exponentials, in Figure S1. The measured growth rates were: tryptone μ = 1.5 hour−1, glucose μ = 0.66 hour−1, succinate μ = 0.45 hour−1, and acetate μ = 0.27 hour−1. Also shown are dynamic regulatory FBA simulations of host growth, the growth rates of which were fit via flux bound changes to the growth rate found by exponential fit. These fits were produced by estimation of key flux bounds, as follows:

Determining Host Metabolic Limitations on Viral Replication via Integrated Modeling and Experimental Perturbation
Viral replication relies on host metabolic machinery and precursors to produce large numbers of progeny - often very rapidly. A fundamental example is the infection of Escherichia coli by bacteriophage T7. The resource draw imposed by viral replication represents a significant and complex perturbation to the extensive and interconnected network of host metabolic pathways. To better understand t...
متن کاملCharacterization of double-stranded RNA satellites associated with the Trichomonas vaginalis virus.
Three small and distinct satellite double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) denoted s1, s1', and s2 were recently described for a Trichomonas vaginalis isolate harboring a dsRNA virus. Since characterization of these satellite dsRNAs might provide insight into the virus replication cycle and virus-host interactions, full-length cDNAs to s1 and s1' dsRNAs were synthesized and sequenced. s1 dsRNA has 688 bp...
متن کاملAmmonium Chloride as a Potential Candidate for the Treatment and Controlling of Covid-19
Coronaviruses, pathogens with a zoonotic potential, are positive sense single-stranded RNA viruses. SARS Coronavirus-2, the cause of Covid-19 infection, is from the betacoronavirinea subfamily, which has close genomic and proteomic similarity to SARS Coronavirus-1(1). Given the genomic proximity of these two viruses, studies on SARS Coronavirus-1 can be used to control or detect SARS Coronaviru...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of Protease 2A from Coxsakievirus B3
Protease 2A (2Apro) of coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) plays a major role in viral replication. In case of infection, viral proteins are being synthesized from viral mRNA using host biosynthesis machinery. 2Apro of virus, after being synthesized, exhibits two critical functions, cleavage of viral proteins and breaking eukaryotic initiation factor 4G. The enzyme plays an essential role in viral replic...
متن کاملTowards an integrated molecular model of plant-virus interactions.
The application in recent years of network theory methods to the study of host-virus interactions is providing a new perspective to the way viruses manipulate the host to promote their own replication. An integrated molecular model of such pathosystems require three detailed maps describing, firstly, the interactions between viral elements, secondly, the interactions between host elements, and ...
