Regulatory mechanisms for aromatic carbon metabolism in Comamonas testosteroni

ABSTRACT: Widely reported discrepancies between metabolic flux and transcripts or enzyme levels in bacterial metabolism imply complex regulation mechanisms need to be considered, especially in new bacterial platforms for bioremediation and bioproduction. Comamonas testosteroni strains, which metabolize various natural and xenobiotic aromatic compounds, represent such platforms whose metabolic regulations are still unknown. Here, we identify analogous multi-level regulation mechanisms in the metabolism of two lignin-related (4-hydroxybenzoate and vanillate) and one plastic-related (terephthalate) aromatic compounds in C. testosteroni KF-1, a wastewater isolate. Transcription-level regulation controlled initial catabolism and cleavage of the compounds, but subsequent carbon fluxes in central carbon metabolism are governed by metabolite-level thermodynamic regulation. Quantitative 13C-fingerprinting of tricarboxylic acid cycle and cataplerotic reactions elucidate key carbon routing that is not evident from enzyme abundance changes. Therefore, as-needed transcriptional activation of aromatic catabolism is coupled with metabolic fine-tuning of central metabolism, thus delineating pathway candidates for different metabolic manipulations.

Project description:Millard2016 - E. coli central carbon and energy metabolism This model is described in the article: Metabolic regulation is sufficient for global and robust coordination of glucose uptake, catabolism, energy production and growth in Escherichia coli Pierre Millard , Kieran Smallbone, Pedro Mendes PLoS ONE Abstract: The metabolism of microorganisms is regulated through two main mechanisms: changes of enzyme capacities as a consequence of gene expression modulation (“hierarchical control”) and changes of enzyme activities through metabolite-enzyme interactions. An increasing body of evidence indicates that hierarchical control is insufficient to explain metabolic behaviors, but the system-wide impact of metabolic regulation remains largely uncharacterized. To clarify its role, we developed and validated a detailed kinetic model of Escherichia coli central metabolism that links growth to environment. Metabolic control analyses confirm that the control is widely distributed across the network and highlight strong interconnections between all the pathways. Exploration of the model solution space reveals that several robust properties emerge from metabolic regulation, from the molecular level (e.g. homeostasis of total metabolite pool) to the overall cellular physiology (e.g. coordination of carbon uptake, catabolism, energy and redox production, and growth), while allowing a large degree of flexibility at most individual metabolic steps. These properties have important physiological implications for E. coli and significantly expand the self-regulating capacities of its metabolism.
