الوصف: | Lignin is a polymer present in the secondary cell walls of all vascular plants. It is a known barrier to pulping and the extraction of high-energy sugars from cellulosic biomass. The challenge faced with predicting outcomes of transgenic plants with reduced lignin is due in part to the presence of unique protein-protein interactions that influence the regulation and metabolic flux in the pathway. Yet, it is unclear why certain plants have evolved to create these protein complexes. In this study, we use mathematical models to investigate the role that the protein complex, formed specifically between Ptr4CL3 and Ptr4CL5 enzymes, have on the monolignol biosynthesis pathway. The role of this Ptr4CL3-Ptr4CL5 enzyme complex on the steady state flux distribution was quantified by performing Monte Carlo simulations. The effect of this complex on the robustness and the homeostatic properties of the pathway were identified by performing sensitivity and stability analyses, respectively. Results from these robustness and stability analyses suggest that the monolignol biosynthetic pathway is resilient to mild perturbations in the presence of the Ptr4CL3-Ptr4CL5 complex. Specifically, the presence of Ptr4CL3-Ptr4CL5 complex increased the stability of the pathway by 22%. The robustness in the pathway is maintained due to the presence of multiple enzyme isoforms as well as the presence of alternative pathways resulting from the presence of the Ptr4CL3-Ptr4CL5 complex. |
