           This was my first week with the iGem team, even though I got to work on some segments of the project from home. My first two days consisted of getting acclimated with the computer programming (Komodo and Cyberduck), and specifically running python and gams files from excel data on the E. coli model. I had the opportunity to work with Laura, who was very helpful in explaining the scripts we were running. Tom was also able to send me information on python and unix commands, so navigating through these programs was easier than expected. I&rsquo;ve worked on and off with MATLAB, but I actually found python and gams to be a lot more user friendly.

           Once I generated my input files using a python code provided to me (I only had to personalize my directory information), I was able to run FBA scripts for both the WM1788 wild type and nitrogen fixation models. I was able to determine maximum biomass values for both, as well as maximum ATP values from these biomass outputs. For the WM1788 wild type model, I got a maximum biomass value of 2.97 and a maximum ATP production value of 547.03. For the WM1788 nitrogen fixation model I got a maximum biomass value of 2.52 and a maximum ATP production value of 391.274. These values checked with Laura&rsquo;s. From there, I ran FVA on both  the wild type and nitrogen fixation models, and generated spreadsheets for flux data on each reaction in the model.

           On Wednesday, I started to look at the pathway taken by galactose as it enters the cell, thereafter initiating glycolysis. Given our model predicted higher cell growth rates for galactose as a sole energy source than for glucose, which contradicts most available literature, we were trying to determine if there were any reactions that would help explain this phenomena (for example if there is a reaction supplying additional energy in the galactose model). However, even though I was able to identify the series of reactions the take place immediately following the uptake of galactose, which include converting alpha D&shy;galactose to beta D&shy;galactose, and elementary reactions depending on enzymes such as 4&shy;epimerase and galactokinase, a greater amount of energy was required to initiate the conversion of galactose to glucose to G6P than was required to initiate the conversion of just glucose to G6P. We are still in the process of determining where these inconsistencies are coming from by looking into the first set of reactions that takes place when glucose is introduced to E. coli.

           Lastly, Laura was working on finding an alternate path in the model that produced acetyl&shy;coA. However, the only reactions listed involve the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl&shy;coA. We are interested in determining which reactions can be potentially knocked out of the model to maximum the production of acetyl&shy;coA. Tom wanted me to run gams files that removed the PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase) and PFL (pyruvate formate lyase) reactions from the model, which are directly involved in the production of acetyl&shy;coA, to determine if whether or not knocking one out will maximum flux through pyruvate synthase (POR5), which is the only other reaction involved in the production of acetyl&shy;coA. However, our findings show that knocking either PDH or PFL from the model has no effect on the flux through this reaction, or on one another. Considering the flux ranges remained the same (0 &shy; 10,000) for the PDH and PFL reactions, these reactions can potentially be removed from the model. When both PDH and PFL were both knocked from the model, the flux ranges varied slightly through the pyruvate synthase reaction&shy; from &shy;9,948.9478 &shy; 444.251305 (for the lower and upper bounds respectively) to &shy;4068.693 &shy; 444.251. Even though the lower bound was less negative, its magnitude was still significantly larger than the upper bound. You can refer to the PDH, PFL, and POR5 reactions below.

            After the meeting with iGem, I started researching potential growth implications of knocking out the pyruvate dehydrogenase and pyruvate formate lyase reactions from the model. Our data supports that knocking out either of these reactions individually has little to no effect on the flux through the corresponding reaction, or on the flux through the pyruvate synthase reaction. Research shows that pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency has been associated with a buildup of lactic acid in the cell. The enzyme has also been identified for its essential role in initiating the series of reactions that make up the TCA cycle. According to a study conducted by Anderson ME, Marshall of RT JFood Safety in 1990, increased concentrations of organic acids have been shown to reduce cellular activity in E. coli, leading to higher levels of population reduction. As for the pyruvate formate lyase reaction, one study examined the effects of knocking out it&rsquo;s associated enzyme on the yield of butanediol in a strain of E. coli known as Klebsiella pneumoniae. Even though the yield was 92.2% of it&rsquo; theoretical value, mutant growth was slightly reduced to the parental strain. Similar studies on other mutants of E. coli suggest that this growth deficiency is due to a redox imbalance rather than a reduced level of acetyl&shy;coA. These findings would eliminate the possibility of knocking out either of these reactions from the model.

           After knocking out malate oxidase, Laura and I reran FBA codes for the WT and N2WM1788 models. Our updated max biomass and ATP values for the wild type model were 0.821233 and 3.155221, respectively. And for the nitrogen fixation model, 0.454531 and 3.155221, respectively. Our updated ATPmreq constraint was then set from 10.0 to 3.15. We also reran the flavodoxin scripts, and found that our max biomass value, which we derived from maximizing flux through the flavodoxin reaction (0.010442), was 0.4545. I continued rerunning the pyruvate codes with the malate oxidase knockout&shy; however, I was having some difficulty with running the codes to completion&shy; several errors kept popping up. I later found out that these issues were arising from available storage space in my terminal, which was later resolved after I consulted Tom.

               Even though knocking out the PDH reaction seemed favorable when compared to the existing N2 WM1788 model, literature reveals that the removal of this reaction is associated with diminished cell growth, resulting from a buildup of organic acids. Therefore, we can not perform either of these knockouts.

           I began comparing the FVA outputs for maximizing biomass and maximizing flux through the flavodoxin reaction. I was interested in identifying which reactions changed directionality with the addition of this reaction. Compared to our original FVA outputs (before knocking out malate oxidase), which detailed some reactions with variations of up to 1.0 &times; 101 in flux ranges, these updated figures only had variations of up to 1.0 &times; 10&shy;2. So even though almost 1,000 reactions in the model did have different bound values, these differences were incredibly slight. I was also to identify 14 reaction whose directionality changed upon the addition of the flavodoxin reaction&shy; I included reactions that had an upper/lower bound of zero that then went in the positive/negative direction.

           Overview&shy;: Laura and I finished up comparing the FVA outputs for the N2 WM1788 model at max biomass vs. max flavodoxin, but we had no conclusive feedback to report to iGem. Following my updates on the pyruvate knockouts, we reported to Cheryl that there is a potential to remove pyruvate dehydrogenase from the model. But we would need to counterattack any additional buildup of pyruvate from this knockout. We surmised that pushing flux through the pyruvate synthase reaction, and thus maximizing the production of flavodoxin, could account for any compromised cell growth.

              The WashU branch was in the process of reworking the existing model to account for non recognition of certain promoters by E coli. These changes did not affect the WM1788 model that we are working with, given the nitrogen fixation reactions already account for any discrepancies. Laura and I completed all of our weekly tasks at the time, and were only responsible for summarizing our results and sending them to Cheryl. In addition to my reports, Tom, Laura, and I came to the conclusion that the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction can potentially be removed from the model if we account for the build&shy;up of pyruvate in the cell as a result. One way to counterattack this build&shy;up of pyruvate, which will be converted into lactic acid and compromise cell growth/energy, is to push flux through the pyruvate synthase reaction and maximize the production of flavodoxin reductase. This will expend the excess pyruvate concentrations.

           7/2&shy; Laura and I began running FVA codes for maximizing ATP. We compared these outputs to the max biomass outputs, which we used from our previous flavodoxin trials.

              We noticed that most of the reactions whose flux ranges changed by more than 0.001 also changed directionality. We also noticed that many reactions at max ATP had lower bounds that were more positive than their upper bounds. We treated these reactions as if their reaction bounds were reversed. For example, instead of reading the reaction bounds at max ATP for XYLI2 as 1.44E&shy;07 to &shy;5.893E&shy;7, we read it as &shy;5.893E&shy;7 to 1.44E&shy;07. A majority of reactions that changed directionality were transporter reactions. Because ATP is indirectly involved with transporting proteins and sugars into the cell, it would make sense as to why maximizing its production would potentially alter the directionality of transporter reactions. This is why we only reported non&shy;transporter reactions that changed directionality, which still consisted of roughly 220 reactions. Of the non&shy;transporter reactions we identified, we only took those reactions whose flux ranges varied by more than 0.005 into account. Reactions that varied by less than 0.005 we regarded as essentially having no change in flux. Analyzing a list this complex is incredibly tedious and would not reveal anything about the effects of maximizing ATP on the model. There are too many factors to take into account. However, our greater difference in flux ranges was 0.02, so there was no need to do a thorough analysis of the data comparisons.

           Laura and I did a quick analysis of the 317 nonoverlapping reactions which change by more than 0.001 between the N2 fixing and WT WM1788 models. We each generated spreadsheets detailing the number of nonoverlapping reactions in each metabolic system/subsystem, what percentage of the total they make up, and what was the greatest change for each system. Overall, amino acid metabolism had the highest number of changing reactions (78), but the greatest change was only 0.637. Membrane transport, exchange, and inorganic ion transport only made up roughly 15% of changing reactions, but had the largest gap in flux ranges (14.6). We also started brainstorming about potential routes to go down, given we were wrapping up our flavodoxin and ATP analyses. Laura proposed looking more closely at dependence of the model on ATP, given flavodoxin, by contrast, is only involved in a handful of reactions. We started compiling a list of the top 10 reactions that produce/consume ATP. I personally was responsible for identifying consummation reactions. Initially I generated an excel file of reactions that only included ATP, and from there I identified which reactions had the most positive flux ranges, given ATP almost always appears as a reactant in the model.

           In our meeting with iGem, Laura and I reported that the model is ATP&shy;limited, a conclusion that we drew from our max biomass vs. max ATP analyses. We also shared some of the main reactions that either produce or consume ATP, and identified that a majority of these reactionsare apart of the carbon metabolism system. After consulting with Tom, and as a step moving forward, we agreed upon knocking out each individual gene from the model to observe its effect on FBA. Him and Maggie also suggested adding additional metabolites in the model, potentially aiding cell growth. Laura and I decided to divvy up these tasks, with her taking the former and me the latter. My experience with python and gams coding is very limited, so I took it upon myself to begin with reviewing the existing templates that Maggie provided at the beginning ofWeek 1. With the help of a python syntax guide, I was able to get a feel for how to generateoutputs files that can then be used to run FBA and FVA.

           I continued reviewing my existing python and gams to come up with a way to overexpress each of the metabolites in the model. Tom suggested created a &ldquo;dummy&rdquo; transporter reaction in my existing python code, which would carry each individual metabolite into the cytoplasm. I decided to take the list of metabolites already defined in the code and generate a new list which only included metabolites with cytoplasm compartments (Tom and I eventually realized that these metabolites are the only ones we are interested in given we are only concerned with &ldquo;dummy&rdquo; exchange reactions). With time and effort, I was finally able to generate a new list entitled metname. And from this list, after defining the new metabolite ids as exchange reactions, I was also to make new sij.txt, rxn.txt, and rxntype.txt output files.

           After compiling my new metabolite input files, I started tweaking with the max biomass code that Laura and I have been using to run FBA. Other than including these additional files in the code, I also included a loop statement, which iteratively runs through each metabolite. The data generated from each loop was then placed in an output file, which included max biomass, max ATP, and max flavodoxin.

              Initially I set my max biomass constraint to the max biomass determined from running the code. However, setting it to this parameter overconstrained my output file. For example, only 9 of the metabolites had maximum ATP values other than the ATPmreq (3.15), and only 4 of them produced some amount of flavodoxin (all other metabolites produced none). Tom suggested setting the constraint to the original N2 WM1788 max biomass to see if I would get a wider range of figures. Sure enough, there was a much more diverse set of outputs, and almost all of the metabolites produced flavodoxin.

           In order to standardize my outputs, and make any viable recommendations to the UWash team for improving the model, Tom recommended that I constrain the amount of substrate in each exchange reaction. And to do so by the number of carbon molecules in each metabolite. We used glucose as a template, and set the supply at 60 (half the amount supplied by the 6 carbon atoms in glucose (20 per molecule)). I also compressed the list of exchange reactions to only include those metabolite who have at least one carbon atom. We planned on dividing the supply by the number of carbon atoms in each metabolite, so dividing by zero carbon atoms would result in computational errors. It took some time reformatting my input files to only include these carbon&shy;containing metabolites, and I encountered several programming issues along the way. For example, I originally only updated the input file that regulates my substrates, and this resulted in flux outputs that were significantly larger than expected. I&rsquo;m still in the process of readjusting the parameters in the code to account for the addition of these exchange reactions.

           Last week, I started looking at the effects of adding supplemental metabolites to the WM1788 N2 fixing model. After creating a set of exchange reactions, and regulating the amount of substrate being imported by each reaction, I was able to generate max biomass, max ATP, and max flavodoxin outputs. We normalized our data by the number of carbons in each supplemented metabolite. This allowed the code to constrain our substrate by the number of additional carbon atoms supplied to the model. In my 7/10 journal, I mentioned that we used glucose as a template for regulating our substrate. I failed to mention why we used only 50%. I want to point out that we felt it was a good level to supplement growth. I was having some coding errors last Friday, and I realized that it was a formatting issue in one of my input files. I was still working through some technical issues by the end of the day. I also started working with Laura on our slides for the Monsanto powerpoint. Her and I wrote up a brief overview of FBA and FVA (refer to term sheet if unfamiliar with abbreviations), our general findings thus far, and current projects we are working on.

              While I was reading through them, I realized that some of my carbon-number figures were off. I originally generated a carbon number input file from the iAF model. Specifically, I ran a python code that identifies the number of carbon atoms in each metabolites chemical formula. However, I realized that some of the metabolites were defined differently in the iAF model than in the WM1788 model. I had to manually go through the model and update any figures that were not matching up.

           After tediously updating my carbon number input file, I reran my GAMS code and collected my updated outputs in an excel file. Tom recommended I generate a scatter plot of max biomass vs. max ATP to see if I could identify any observable trends. Him and I noticed a portion of the plot that followed a rigid linear trend. Of the metabolites that were along this trend line, one was glucose, our models primary source of energy. Because our objective was to look into supplemental metabolites/energy sources, specifically those with higher flux values than glucose, we were only interested in those metabolite above glucose on the trend line. This consisted of 73 metabolites.

              Given several metabolites in the model are either intermediates or impractical to isolate and provide the cell, I started doing a literature check on each one to determine its candidacy. Even though I only ruled out a handful of metabolites that are intermediates, all of the remaining metabolites were either phosphorylated or sugars, specifically glucose derivatives. We were only interested in these six sugars, which include maltotriose, maltotetraoise, maltose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, and maltoheptaose.

           Laura and I summarized the results of individual trials in our meeting with iGem. After mentioning the 6 sugars I identified from the addition of our metabolite exchange reactions, one member of the WashU team mentioned hearing of an outside branch having success with replacing glucose as a sole energy source with succinate. From this, I started transitioning on to a new topic, specifically other carbon-containing substrates that can replace glucose in our model. Tom also sat down with Dr. Maranas, who would orchestrate funding for our trip to the Jamboree. Even though Dr. Maranas oversees student research in our branch of the department, he does not play a direct role in the work Laura and I do. To verify that her and I are making productive use of our time here, he requested that each of us write a report detailing our project with iGem, along with our findings and future objectives.

           I began writing my report for Dr. Maranas, detailing the motive behind our work here and our ultimate goal of giving plants the ability to produce their own nitrogen. I also mentioned that our branch specifically oversees genome-scale modeling to help guide potential genetic interventions and facilitate nitrogen fixation in E. coli. From our model, we can use FBA to determine the flow of metabolites, or flux, through the network. And from gene knockouts/overexpressions, we can identify available pathways for producing/consuming a metabolite of interest, such as ATP.. As for our results, I focused primarily on how ATP and reduced flavodoxin are the limiting factors in our nitrogenase reactions. Specifically, I mentioned how we attempted to maximize reduced flavodoxin by manipulating pyruvate metabolism. I also focused heavily on my recent work with the metabolite exchange reactions, and how we are looking for ways to help aid cell growth/activity. From this, I have begun looking into other carbon-containing substrates that can replace glucose as the model&rsquo;s source carbon source.

           I started editing my codes to begin running an FBA analysis on replacing glucose with succinate as our model&rsquo;s sole carbon source. However, after normalizing our substrate to the number of carbon atoms in succinate, 30 mmol/g DW hr succinate vs. 20 mmol/g DW hr glucose, the model proved infeasible. After consulting with Tom, he suggested looking into studies on E. coli growth on succinate to determine if any there are any additional parameters we need to account for, like the presence of another carbon source.

           I stumbled upon a few online studies that detailed pairing succinate and fumarate as  carbon sources for E. coli. Growth deficiency on succinate in our model, from my interpretation, has to do with the essentiality of two enzymes: succinate dehydrogenase and fumarate reductase. Fumarate is derived from the breakdown of glucose in the glycolysis pathway, so replacing glucose with succinate results in a deficiency of fumarate in the cell. I assumed that these two enzymes, which are responsible for promoting microbial metabolism and play an essential role in the citric acid cycle, can not catalyze cell activity if both succinate and fumarate are not at sufficient levels. When I added fumarate as an additional energy source, the model did experience some level of growth, but the max biomass value was only 0.269648 in comparison to 0.454531 for glucose. Tom recommended that I look into the pathway taken by succinate in E. coli determine if any transport reactions have been overlooked in our model. On a side note, I found one study that redirected the metabolism of glucose to succinate, and detailed increased succinate yields from increasing the expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and inactivating the glucose phosphoenolpyruvate- dependent phosphotransferase system. This resulted in increased ATP production and increased concentrations of phosphoenolpyruvate for carboxylation. Inactivating the pflB gene, which encodes pyruvate formate lyase, was also associated with increased succinate yields. However, the primary goal of this particular study was to increase the production of succinate, so I&rsquo;m not yet sure if these same steps can be taken to maximize growth in our model.

           While Laura continued running her double gene knockout code, Tom and Maggie mentioned a code called OptKnock. Optknock suggests a list of potential reaction knockouts to couple growth production with the production of a desired product, in our case max biomass and reduced flavodoxin, respectively. Biomass values will vary depending on the percent biolevel we set in our code (refer to 7/29 for more details). Laura and I spent some time reviewing a chapter on OptKnock to become more familiar with it&rsquo;s structure and objectives. The goal of running this code is to provide another route for identifying potential knockouts in our model.

           During our meeting with iGem, Charlotte clarified that using succinate as a carbon source is meant to promote respiration in the cell. I want to note that prior to the meeting, I also ran FBA on our N2 model with both glucose and succinate as carbon sources. I found that my max biomass and max ATP figures were identical to my original nitrogen fixing figures (with glucose as the sole carbon source). However, increased respiration would not appear in FBA, so Maggie suggested running FVA and comparing flux ranges for reactions in the citric acid cycle. The citric acid cycle provides a pool of chemical energy from the oxidation of pyruvate, so changes in flux ranges for reactions associated with this subsystem would imply changes in cellular respiration. After running FVA with the addition of succinate, I found that a majority of reactions in this subsystem had altered flux ranges in comparison to their original flux values. However, these changes were incredibly slight- i.e. less than a factor of 1*10^-2.

           Laura and I began editing a OptKnock template that Maggie provided us. Some of these edits included our reaction input files and our ATP and percent biolevel constraints. We initially encountered some issues with getting our code to run, but we quickly identified them and were able to generate a list of potential double knockouts, which consisted of roughly 400 couples. At first glance, all of the double knockouts had the same max biomass and reduced flavodoxin levels. We set our percent biolevel to .9, so each double knockout had a max biomass value of 0.409 (.9 of 0.4545- i.e. our original max biomass value). We wanted to double check and see what effect these knockouts would have on max biomass and ATP levels in our model by running them through an iteration. Laura wrote a python code that splits a reaction input file into a series of coupled-knockouts, given our previous OptKnock output file only lists the couples without pairing them. She originally had to generate this code to run her gene knockouts, so all we really had to do was substitute in our new input file. While Laura edited her python code, I went ahead and ran OptKnock for triple reaction knockouts.

           After running our python code for both double and triple reaction knockouts, we found that none of the proposed knockouts from our OptKnock code were coupled with reduced flavodoxin. In other words, every knockout had the same max biomass and ATP level as our original nitrogen fixation model- i.e. without any knockouts. The only useful piece of information we drew from our outputs was that several reactions involved in pyruvate metabolism were included in the suggested knockouts. This would confirm some of our previous suggestions on increasing reduced flavodoxin production by manipulating pyruvate metabolism in the cell.

           While Laura resolved these issues in her code, I began our modeling summary for the website. Laura and I felt that an introduction, associated methods, formulation, and results section were appropriate. Because Laura is still working on her python code, I decided to cover the first two sections and my results from the metabolite exchange reactions.

           8/3&shy; Laura regenerated outputs for her double&shy;gene knockout code, but inconsistencies were still popping up in our data when we manually tested knockouts coupled with flavodoxin. We were finding that for non&shy;infeasible knockouts, the maximum biomass, ATP, and reduced flavodoxin values were completely off from those in the iteration outputs. We finally were able to figure out that the code was coupling each gene with itself, resulting in several infeasible outputs. However, instead of skipping over these knockouts, the code outputted the previous set of output values, resulting in mismatched data. We resolved this issue but removing duplicate genes in our code.

           Following our meeting with iGem, Laura and I finalized our travels grants and began working on the modeling summary for our wiki page. We wanted to draw attention specifically to what genome&shy;scale modeling is and what we&rsquo;re hoping to accomplish using methods such as FBA (navigating potential genetic interventions to optimize cofactors of nitrogen&shy;fixing in E. coli). Because most of our results were inconclusive, we wanted to focus on our discoveries with pyruvate metabolism, and how we can promote the production of reduced flavodoxin by redistributing flux through reactions involving pyruvate. We also included brief summaries of our recent work on metabolite exchange reactions and gene/reaction knockouts.

           Laura and I finalized the first draft of our wiki page, after reworking it to include more visuals and minimal text. Even though computational modeling is extensive, we tried to summarize key points in flow charts and supplement them with brief descriptions. Laura also collected all of the outputs for the double gene knockout code. Even though our outputs were finally starting to match up, we found, unfortunately, that any knockout coupled with flavodoxin outputted an infeasible model.

           Laura and I sat down together and reviewed the completed first draft of our modeling summary. Considering Laura had to leave early, I finalized any remaining edits, such as redesigning our section on genome&shy;scale modeling. We wanted to break up any big chunks of texts. Before Laura left, her and I also wrote up our section on computational modeling for the abstract. Given the length constraint, we focused primarily on what our goal was in using computational modeling to promote nitrogenase activity.

Additionally, many reactions within TCA cycle have a lower flux in the N2 fixing strain than in wild type (this is expected- N2 fixing WM1788 should have a depressed metabolism), except for malate dehydrogenase (produces oxaloacetate from malate).

              Determined neither strain is using the glyoxylate shunt.  Performed comparisons of all reactions involving malate, oxaloacetate, acetyl coA, and pyruvate.  Malate oxidase (reaction at equilibrium) has a much more negative flux in N2 fixing WM1788 than in wild type.  Seems that oxaloacetate from malate dehydrogenase (higher flux in N2) feeds malate oxidase reaction to produce more malate and oxygen in the N2 fixing strain.

              Identified two other reactions containing both acetyl coA and pyruvate (besides pyruvate synthase), however both have the same flux in both N2 fixing and wild type.  The flux is 0-10,000, meaning they are cycling.  Jess explored deletion of these two reactions to see if removing them would help to push flux through pyruvate synthase and aid nitrogen fixation. Also looked at other ways to produce acetyl coA and other ways to spend pyruvate; however, no result yet for viable knockouts.

           Started working on the Python script for knocking out all of the genes in the N2 fixing model.  Started by writing a code which takes the GPRs (gene protein relationships) present in the model and creates a list of all the unique genes.

           Ran OptKnock for double reaction knockouts and continued to debug.  Wrote a Python code that will determine if the OptKnock suggested knockouts couple flavodoxin with biomass or not. Jess ran an OptKnock code for triple reaction knockouts.

           In my final week, I fixed the issues with my double gene knockout codes (so there are no longer discrepancies and the outputs are correct).  Unfortunately, we did not find any double knockouts that coupled flavodoxin production to biomass. Future research could look into why this is the case.  Additionally, Jess and I worked on getting travel grants and funding in order for our trip to the iGEM Giant Jamboree in September. compiled our wiki modeling summary and worked on making edits for it.
