A general computational model of mitochondrial metabolism in a whole organelle scale

SUMMARY: A computational tool for mitochondrial systems biology has been developed as a simulation model of E-Cell2, a publicly available simulation system. The general model consists of 58 enzymatic reactions and 117 metabolites, representing the respiratory chain, the TCA cycle, the fatty acid beta-oxidation and the inner-membrane transport system. It is based on previously published enzyme kinetics studies in the literature; we have successfully integrated and packaged them into a single large model. The model can be easily extended and modified so that mitochondrial biologists/physiologists can integrate their own models and evaluate them in the context of the whole organelle metabolism. AVAILABILITY: The mitochondrial model is bundled up with E-Cell2 simulation system, which can be downloaded from http://www.e-cell.org. CD-ROMs are also available and are distributed at major conferences. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All the kinetic data are available via http://www.e-cell.org     

HICLAS: a taxonomic database system for displaying and comparing biological classification and phylogenetic trees

MOTIVATION: Numerous database management systems have been developed for processing various taxonomic data bases on biological classification or phylogenetic information. In this paper, we present an integrated system to deal with interacting classifications and phylogenies concerning particular taxonomic groups. RESULTS: An information-theoretic view (taxon view) has been applied to capture taxonomic concepts as taxonomic data entities. A data model which is suitable for supporting semantically interacting dynamic views of hierarchic classifications and a query method for interacting classifications have been developed. The concept of taxonomic view and the data model can also be expanded to carry phylogenetic information in phylogenetic trees. We have designed a prototype taxonomic database system called HICLAS (HIerarchical CLAssification System) based on the concept of taxon view, and the data models and query methods have been designed and implemented. This system can be effectively used in the taxonomic revisionary process, especially when databases are being constructed by specialists in particular groups, and the system can be used to compare classifications and phylogenetic trees.

Positive-feedback loops as a flexible biological module

BACKGROUND: Bistability in genetic networks allows cells to remember past events and to make discrete decisions in response to graded signals. Bistable behavior can result from positive feedback, but feedback loops can have other roles in signal transduction as well. RESULTS: We introduced positive feedback into the budding-yeast pheromone response to convert it into a bistable system. In the presence of feedback, transient induction with high pheromone levels caused persistent pathway activation, whereas at lower levels a fraction of cells became persistently active but the rest inactivated completely. We also generated mutations that quantitatively tuned the basal and induced expression levels of the feedback promoter and showed that they qualitatively changed the behavior of the system. Finally, we developed a simple stochastic model of our positive-feedback system and showed the agreement between our simulations and experimental results. CONCLUSIONS: The positive-feedback loop can display several different behaviors, including bistability, and can switch between them as a result of simple mutations.     

A database application for long‐term ecological field experiments

Problem: A series of long‐term field experiments is described, with particular reference to monitoring and quality control. This paper addresses problems in data‐management of particular importance for long‐term studies, including data manipulation, archiving, quality assessment, and flexible retrieval for analysis Method: The problems were addressed using a purpose‐built database system, using commercial software and running under Microsoft Windows. Conclusion: The database system brings many advantages compared to available software, including significantly improved quality checking and access. The query system allows for easy access to data sets thus improving the efficiency of analysis. Quality assessments of the initial dataset demonstrated that the database system can also provide general insight into types and magnitudes of error in data‐sets. Finally, the system can be generalised to include data from a number of different projects, thus simplifying data manipulation for meta‐analysis.
