Ingegneria metabolica “smart” Strategie di attivazione parallela
Causano aumenti locali che faticano a propagarsi lungo la via (dampening) Come si ottiene un aumento di flusso? • Aumentando S • Sottraendo P • Aumentando enzima • Aumentando attività Esaminiamo alcuni esempi di aumenti di flusso in vivo * In lievito nello switch tra fermentazione a respirazione (DeRisi, 1997) * Nel seme durante la mobilizzazione delle riserve lipidiche (Rylott, 2001) * Sintesi dei lipidi durante l’embriogenesi di Arabidopsis (O’Hara, 2002) * Altri esempi (vedi Fell)
Diauxic shift in yeast Exploring the Metabolic and Genetic Control of Gene Expression on a Genomic Scale (DeRisi et al., 1997) Quali sono i geni che vengono attivati e quali vengono disattivati nella transizione da fermentazione a respirazione? Microarray con tutti i geni di lievito ibridato con mRNA a vari tempi di crescita Rosso = Aumento Verde = Diminuzione
Variazione Gene interessato 4.9 PYK1 Rosso = Aumento Verde = Diminuzione Passando da fermentazione a respirazione cosa cambia nel metabolismo?
Variazione coordinata di molti geni E’ possibile classificare i geni in base alla regolazione: 6 classi

Abbondanza relativa dei trascritti It was demonstrated recently that mRNAs encoding the four subunitsof heteromeric (ACCase) acetyl-CoA carboxylase accumulate at a constant molar ratio throughoutsilique development in Arabidopsis. The ratios were found to beCAC1:CAC2:CAC3:(accD-A & accD-B) = 0.14:1.0:0.17:0.06 (Ke etal., 2000)
Via del triptofano in lievito Solo la simultanea espressione di molti (tutti) i geni causa un ΔJ paragonabile al ΔEi (ΔJ ≃ CJx ΔEi )
Evidenze sperimentali Reguloni! La concentrazione dei metaboliti varia molto meno del flusso * Rate limiting step concept: more misguided than even MCA initially suggested * Agire su un solo punto è poco efficace e potrebbe essere deleterio Il metodo universale mantiene costanti le concentrazioni dei metaboliti [Si] evita effetti negativi dovuti all’aumento o alla riduzione di [Si]

Usando i fattori di trascrizione probabilmente si mantengono le “giuste proporzioni tra gli enzimi CAVEAT: ci sono limiti a questa strategia? Certo, alcuni enzimi come già molto abbondanti (es. quelli del calvin o glicolitici)

T-DNA activation tagging Struttura del T-DNA Punto di inserzione del T-DNA nel genoma ORF attivata dall’inserzione
Linea cellulare selezionata con inibitori delle TDC. L’inserzione del T-DNA porta ad un aumento del flusso nella via Molti altri geni della stessa via sono indotti nella linea cellulare
Il metabolismo secondario: Flavonoidi, Antociani e Lignina Genesencoding all enzymes indicated in red are clock-controlled
Myb transcription factor PAP1 I geni in rosso sono implicati nella biosintesi dei fenilpropanoidi e sono controllati dal ritmo circadiano Alcuni geni sembrano essere regolati in maniera molto simile dal punto di vista temporale. Può essere segno di un controllo comune mediato cioè dallo stesso fattore di trascrizione?
Activation tagging Il mutante pap1-D presenta una colorazione rossa (carattere dominante) e accumula antocianine (una classe di flavonoidi)
Molti geni della via dei fenilpropanoidi (e sue diramazioni: flavonoidi, antocianine) sono espressi maggiormente nel mutante. Il mutante pap1-D presenta una maggiore attività enzimatica e più lignina.
La sovraespressione di Pap1 o Pap2 in Tabacco o Arabidopsis porta ad un’intensa pigmentazione

Attenzione: i fattori di trascrizione sono enzimi (?) e spesso agiscono in sinergia

Tobacco crosses: 35S:Del x 35S:Ros1 Piante di Arabidopsis che sovraesprimono uno solo dei due fattori non mostrano accumulo. Quando sono coespressi l’aumento di flusso è notevole. Immagini cortesia del prof. C. Martin
Sinergismo! Rosea1 + Delila can give 100-fold + activation and anthocyanin levels of up to 10 mg/g fwt. They can also increase flux through pathway branches 2.5-fold. Other regulatory combinations are not so potent Immagini cortesia del prof. C. Martin
