  1. Metabolomics Applications of the BioCyc Databases and Pathway Tools Software • Peter D. Karp ecocyc.org • SRI International biocyc.org • metacyc.org

  2. Overview • Overview of MetaCyc family of Pathway/Genome Databases (PGDBs) • BioCyc collection: EcoCyc, MetaCyc, HumanCyc, etc • CuratedPGDBs for Arabidopsis, Yeast, Mouse, Fly, etc • Overview of Pathway Tools software • Automatic generation of metabolic-flux models

  3. MetaCyc Family ofPathway/Genome Databases • 6,000+ databases from many institutions • All domains of life with microbial emphasis • Genomes plus predicted metabolic pathways • DBs derived from MetaCyc via computational pathway prediction • Common schema • Common controlled vocabularies • Managed using Pathway Tools software MetaCyc Family 6,000+ BioCyc.org 3,500 Archives of Toxicology 85:1015 2011

  4. Curated Databases Within the MetaCyc Family http://biocyc.org/otherpgdbs.shtml

  5. Pathway Tools Software • Comprehensive systems biology software environment • Create and maintain an organism database integrating genome, pathway, regulatory information • Computational inference tools • Interactive editing tools • Query and visualize that database • Generate steady-state metabolic flux models • Flux-balance analysis • Interpret omics datasets • Comparative analysis tools • Licensed by 5,000+ groups

  6. Motivations: Management ofMetabolic Pathway Data • Organize growing corpus of data on metabolic pathways • Experimentally elucidated pathways in the biomedical literature • Computationally predicted pathways derived from genome data • Provide software tools for querying and comprehending this complex information space • Multiorganism view: MetaCyc • Unique, experimentally elucidated pathways across all organisms • Reference database for computational pathway prediction • Organism-specific view: • Organism-specific Pathway/Genome Databases • Detailed qualitative models of metabolic networks • Combine computational predictions with experimentally determined pathways

  7. Model Organism Databases /Organism Specific Databases • DBs that describe the genome and other information about an organism • Every sequenced organism with an active experimental community requires a MOD • Integrate genome data with information about the biochemical and genetic network of the organism • Integrate literature-based information with computational predictions • Accurate metabolic modeling requires a curation effort

  8. Rationale for MODs • Each “complete” genome is incomplete in several respects: • 40%-60% of genes have no assigned function • Roughly 7% of those assigned functions are incorrect • Many assigned functions are non-specific • Need continuous updating of annotations with respect to new experimental data and computational predictions • Gene positions, sequence, gene functions, regulatory sites, pathways • MODs are platforms for global analyses of an organism • Interpret omics data in a pathway context • In silico prediction of essential genes • Characterize systems properties of metabolic and genetic networks

  9. Pathway/Genome Database Pathways Reactions Compounds Sequence Features Proteins RNAs Regulation Operons Promoters DNA Binding Sites Regulatory Interactions Genes Chromosomes Plasmids CELL

  25. Taxonomic Distribution of MetaCyc PathwaysVersion 17.5

  26. Comparison with KEGG • KEGG vsMetaCyc: Reference pathway collections • KEGG maps are not pathways Nuc Acids Res 34:3687 2006 • KEGG maps contain multiple biological pathways • KEGG maps are composites of pathways in many organisms -- do not identify what specific pathways elucidated in what organisms • Two genes chosen at random from a BioCyc pathway are more likely to be related according to genome context methods than from a KEGG pathway • KEGG has few literature citations, few comments, less enzyme detail • KEGG vs organism-specific PGDBs • KEGG does not curate or customize pathway networks for each organism • Highly curatedPGDBs now exist for important organisms such as E. coli, yeast, mouse, Arabidopsis

  35. Pathway Prediction • Pathway prediction is useful because • Pathways organize the metabolic network into mentally tractable units • Pathways guide us to search for missing enzymes • Pathway inference fills in holes in the metabolic network • Pathways can be used for analysis of high-throughput data • Visualization, enrichment analysis • Pathway prediction is hard because • Reactome inference is imperfect • Some reactions present in multiple pathways • Pathway variants share many reactions in common • Increasing size of MetaCyc

  36. Reactome Inference • For each protein in the organism, infer reaction(s) it catalyzes • Protein functions can be specified in three ways: • Enzyme names (protein functions) (uncontrolled vocabulary) • EC numbers • Gene Ontology terms • Detect conflicts among this information • Example: • Yersiniapseudotuberculosis PB1 • 2-succinyl-5-enolpyruvyl-6-hydroxy-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate synthase / EC 4.1.1.71

  37. Enzyme Name Matching • Extraneous information found in gene product names • Putative carbamatekinase, alpha subunit • Carbamatekinase (abcD) • Carbamatekinase (3.2.1.4) • Monoamine oxidase B • bifunctionalproline dehydrogenase/pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase

  38. Inference of Metabolic Pathways • For each pathway in MetaCyc consider • What fraction of its reactions are present in the just-inferred reactome of the organism? • Are enzymes present for reactions unique to the pathway? • Are enzymes present for designated “key reactions” within MetaCyc pathways? • Calvin cycle / ribulosebisphosphatecarboxylase • Is a given pathway outside its designated taxonomic range? • Calvin cycle: green plants, green algae, etc Standards in Genomic Sciences 5:424-429 2011
