Modeling
The pathway triggering the expression of mCherry upon reception of Glucose is shown in Figure 1
Glucose-mCherry response
Using the generalized mass action equations and the pathway shown in the figure above, we can write the kinetics of the systems in the following form:
where is the internal ketogluconate concentration, is the external glucose concentration, is the population of free PtxS, is the KGN-PtXs dimer, is the complex that involves the dimer bound to the promoter sequence, is the Gad promoter concentration, is the immature mCherry, and is mature mCherry. The rate constants are described below in Table 1.
| Description | Symbol | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Glucose diffusion rate | 10 mmol/g/h [1] | |
| C1 formation/dissociation rate | 50/h (approximation) | |
| C2 formation/dissociation rate | 500/h (approximation) | |
| PtxS production rate | 500 / h [2][3] | |
| Protein production rate | 100 / h (approximation) | |
| mCherry maturation rate | 2/h [4] | |
| mCherry degradation rate | 40 / h [4] |
Brixells
The Brixells Modeling Tool, has been created to assist Team Warwick to predict the probability of bonding of 3D structures built with E. Coli expressing Zinc fingers and DNA strands. More details are available on the collaborations page.
Conclusion
Modeling can be very useful to optimize the design of P. Putida as it is very sensitive to glucose toxicity. This framework can help in optimizing the lifetime of the glucose-sensing capsule and should be considered in the alginate formulation. This model is to be combined with a population level glucose toxicity model for agent-based modeling in BSim.
