TY - JOUR A1 - Küken, Anika A1 - Gennermann, Kristin A1 - Nikoloski, Zoran T1 - Characterization of maximal enzyme catalytic rates in central metabolism of Arabidopsis thaliana T2 - The plant journal N2 - Availability of plant-specific enzyme kinetic data is scarce, limiting the predictive power of metabolic models and precluding identification of genetic factors of enzyme properties. Enzyme kinetic data are measuredin vitro, often under non-physiological conditions, and conclusions elicited from modeling warrant caution. Here we estimate maximalin vivocatalytic rates for 168 plant enzymes, including photosystems I and II, cytochrome-b6f complex, ATP-citrate synthase, sucrose-phosphate synthase as well as enzymes from amino acid synthesis with previously undocumented enzyme kinetic data in BRENDA. The estimations are obtained by integrating condition-specific quantitative proteomics data, maximal rates of selected enzymes, growth measurements fromArabidopsis thalianarosette with and fluxes through canonical pathways in a constraint-based model of leaf metabolism. In comparison to findings inEscherichia coli, we demonstrate weaker concordance between the plant-specificin vitroandin vivoenzyme catalytic rates due to a low degree of enzyme saturation. This is supported by the finding that concentrations of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate), adenosine triphosphate and uridine triphosphate, calculated based on our maximalin vivocatalytic rates, and available quantitative metabolomics data are below reportedKMvalues and, therefore, indicate undersaturation of respective enzymes. Our findings show that genome-wide profiling of enzyme kinetic properties is feasible in plants, paving the way for understanding resource allocation.
