A mass flux balance-based stoichiometric model for human liver metabolism has been set up. The model considers 125 reaction fluxes, and there are 83 metabolites that are assumed to be in pseudo-steady state. Theoretical metabolic flux distributions in the fibrotic and healthy liver cells were determined by maximizing respectively the collagen and palmitate synthesis in the objective function for the solution of the model, The flux distribution maps of the analysis for the collagen synthesis showed that the glycolysis pathway was active down to fructose-6-phosphate and the gluconeogenesis pathway was active up to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate synthesis. However, the flux distribution maps for the palmitate synthesis revealed that both the glycolysis pathway and the gluconeogenesis pathway were active towards 3-phospho glycerate. The TCA cycle operated from citrate towards oxalacetate, and the anaplerotic reactions that connect the TCA cycle to the gluconeogenesis pathway were active in both analyses. Metabolic flux analysis shows that the amino acid fluxes are indeed important in the collagen synthesis. The results of the comparative analyses for the occurrence of the collagen synthesis in the fibrotic liver cells reveal that among the non-essential amino acids three, namely glycine, proline and aspartic acid, and among the essential amino acids one, methionine, are respectively the potential metabolic bottlenecks and the limiting amino acid. The diversions in the pathways and certain metabolic reactions are also presented, and potential strategies for controlling the collagen synthesis and consequently the fibrosis are also discussed.

Metabolic flux analysis for serine alkaline protease fermentation by Bacillus licheniformis in a defined medium: Effects of the oxygen transfer rate Çalık, Pınar; Ozdamar, TH (1999-07-01) The metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways in the bioprocess for serine alkaline protease (SAP) production by Bacillus licheniformis were calculated by the metabolic flux-based stoichiometric model based on the proposed metabolic network that contains 102 metabolites and 133 reaction fluxes using the time profiles of citrate, dry cell, organic acids, amino acids, and SAP as the constraints. The model was solved by minimizing the SAP accumulation rate in the cell, The effects of the oxygen-tran...
Mass flux balance-based model and metabolic pathway engineering analysis for serine alkaline protease synthesis by Bacillus licheniformis Çalık, Pınar (Elsevier BV, 1999-07-01) A mass flux balance-based stoichiometric model of Bacillus licheniformis for the serine alkaline protease (SAP) fermentation process has been established. The model considers 147 reaction fluxes, and there are 105 metabolites that are assumed to be in pseudo-steady state. Metabolic flux distributions were obtained from the solution of the model based on the minimum SAP accumulation rate assumption in B. licheniformis in combination with the off-line extracellular analyses of the metabolites that were the so...
Metabolic engineering of aromatic group amino acid pathway in Bacillus subtilis for L-phenylalanine production Ozcelik, IS; Çalık, Pınar; Calik, G; Ozdamar, TH (Elsevier BV, 2004-11-01) Metabolic control sites in the aromatic group amino acid pathway (AAAP) of Bacillus subtilis for L-Phenylalanine (Phe) overproduction were determined; and aiming pathway flux amplification, by cloning the flux controlling gene aroH to a multi-copy plasmid, the impact of single gene cloning on pathway flux distributions were investigated. The branch-point metabolites E4P and PEP+E4P supplied in vitro, enhanced Phe production and well defined perturbations were achieved on the AAAP reactions. The intracellula...
Metabolic Flux Analysis for Recombinant Protein Production by Pichia pastoris Using Dual Carbon Sources: Effects of Methanol Feeding Rate Celik, Eda; Çalık, Pınar; Oliver, Stephen G. (Wiley, 2010-02-01) The intracellular metabolic fluxes through the central carbon pathways in the bioprocess for recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) production by Pichia pastoris (Mut(+)) were calculated. to investigate the metabolic effects of dual carbon sources (methanol/sorbitol) and the methanol feed rate, and to obtain a deeper understanding the regulatory circuitry of P. pastoris, using the established stoichiometry-based model containing 102 metabolites and 141 reaction fluxes. Four fed-batch operations with (MS-...
Bioreaction network flux analysis for industrial microorganisms: A review Çalık, Pınar (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2002-01-01) This review focuses on the analysis of the bioreaction networks of the microorgansims used in fermentation processes, by metabolic flux analysis that is the novel tool of biochemical reaction engineering, required for the quantitative analysis of cell metabolism which is under the control of the cell physiology. Metabolic flux analysis (MFA) is based on calculation of intracellular reaction network rates through various reaction pathways either theoretical or by using elaborate experimental data on uptake, ...
