Abstract:
Analysis of cellular components at multiple levels of biologicalinformation can provide valuable functional insights. We performedmultiple high-throughput measurements to study the responseof Escherichia coli cells to genetic and environmental perturbations.Analysis of metabolic enzyme gene disruptants revealed unexpectedlysmall changes in messenger RNA and proteins for most disruptants.Overall, metabolite levels were also stable, reflecting thererouting of fluxes in the metabolic network. In contrast, E.coli actively regulated enzyme levels to maintain a stable metabolicstate in response to changes in growth rate. E. coli thus seemsto use complementary strategies that result in a metabolic networkrobust against perturbations.
