Abstract: "Here [investigators] use isotope labeling to measure absolute metabolite concentrations and fluxes in Escherichia coli, yeast and a mammalian cell line. [They] then integrate this information to obtain a unified set of concentrations and ΔG for each organism." |
| Comments |
P.2 right column 2nd paragraph: "Substantial differences in net fluxes were observed across the three organisms. The absolute glucose uptake rate, normalized to cell volume, was about 30-fold lower in the mammalian iBMK cells than in E. coli or yeast. Although the largest intracellular flux in each organism was glycolysis, they differed in their utilization of the pentose phosphate pathway and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Net flux through the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway was 20% of glucose uptake in E. coli but only 3% and 2% in yeast and mammalian iBMK cells, respectively." iBMK=Immortalized Baby Mouse Kidney Epithelial Cells |
