Metabolite Background Information

Long metabolite names are abbreviated in the model for clarity and standard identification purposes.

limonene synthase LimSynth 70.03 kDa [1], 72.4 kDa [2] ; 60kDa [3]; 56 kDa [4]

Equation Rate

The reversible Michaelis-Menten equation to model the dynamic changes of LimSynth is:



V_\mathrm{LimSynth} =  Vmax_\mathrm{forward} * \cfrac {\cfrac{[GPP]}{Km_\mathrm{GPP}} * \left ( 1 - \cfrac {[Limonene]*[PP]}{[GPP]*K_\mathrm{eq}} \right )}{1 + \cfrac {[GPP]}{Km_\mathrm{GPP}} + \cfrac {[Limonene]}{Km_\mathrm{Limonene}}  + \cfrac {[PP]}{Km_\mathrm{PP}}  + \cfrac {[Limonene]*[PP]}{Km_\mathrm{Limonene}*Km_\mathrm{PP}}}

where :

Parameter Description Units
VLimSynth Reaction rate for Limonene Synthase
Vmaxforward Maximum reaction rate towards the production of limonene ref
KmGPP Michaelis-Menten constant for GPP mM
KmLimonene Michaelis-Menten constant for Limonene mM
KmPP Michaelis-Menten constant for PP mM

Strategies for estimating the kinetic parameter values

Calculating the Equilibrium Constant

Standard Gibbs Free energy

Standard Gibbs Free energy for Limonene Synthase from MetaCyc (EC 4.2.3.16) is -28.049988 kcal/mol [5].

SI derived unit for Gibbs free energy is Joules per mol (J mol-1). 1 kJ·mol−1 is equal to 0.239 kcal·mol−1.

Therefore, the Gibbs free energy for Limonene synthase in kJ mol-1 is:

Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): \cfrac {1}{0.239 kcal.mol^-1} * -28.049988 kcal.mol^-1
Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): = -117.36396 kJmol^-1

The Equilibrium Constant

The equilibrium constant can be calculated using the Van't Hoff Isotherm equation:



K_\mathrm{eq} = exp \left ( \cfrac {-ΔG^{°'}}{RT} \right )


Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): = exp \left ( \cfrac {-(- 117.36396 \text { kJmol}^{-1})}{ (8.31 \text{ JK}^{-1} \text { mol}^{-1} * 289 K} \right )

Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): = exp \left ( \cfrac { + 117.36396 \text { kJmol}^{-1} }{ 2401.59 \text{ JK}^{-1}\text { mol}^{-1} }\right)

Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): = exp \left ( \cfrac{ 117.364 * 10^3 \text { Jmol}^{-1}}{2401.59 \text{ JK}^{-1}\text { mol}^{-1}} \right)

Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): =exp \left ( 48.8693 \right )

Failed to parse (Cannot store math image on filesystem.): = 1.6736 * 10^{21}


where;

Keq Equilibrium constant
-ΔG° Gibbs free energy change. For Limonene Synthase it is -117.364 kJmol-1
R Gas constant with a value of 8.31 JK-1mol-1
T Temperature which is always expressed in Kelvin

Kinetic Parameter Values

Values for the kinetic parameter required to simulate this model can be obtained from published and unpublished literature.

Extracting Information from Limonene Production Rates

The production rates would reflect on the flux for this enzyme, and this would provide provide the insights on the Vmax of this enzyme.

Amount produced (mg/L) Time (H) Organism Description Reaction Flux (µM/s)
5 24 Escherichia coli Possible reason for the low limonene production might due to the insufficient supply of IPP and DMAPP [12]. 0.0255
335 48 Escherichia coli Engineered E.coli in which heterologous MVA pathway was installed [13]. 0.8537
35.8 48 Escherichia coli E.coli was engineered to express GPPS, LS, DXS, and IDI [14] . 0.0912
4.87 48 Escherichia coli This was the initial titer. The study established a limonene biosynthesis pathway in E.coli using four different polycistronic operons based on 3 vectors with varied expression strength [14]. 0.0124
17.4 48 Escherichia coli Using a plasmid with DXS and IDI over expressed [14]. 0.0445
430 72 Escherichia coli [13] 0.7306
