Abstract | Novel cultivation technologies demand the adaptation of existing analytical concepts. Metabolic flux analysis (MFA) requires stable-isotope labeling of biomass-bound protein as the primary information source. Obtaining the required protein in cultivation set-ups where biomass is inaccessible due to low cell densities and cell immobilization is difficult to date. We developed a non-disruptive analytical concept for 13C-based metabolic flux analysis based on secreted protein as an information carrier for isotope mapping in the protein-bound amino acids. This “metabolic flux probe” (MFP) concept was investigated in different cultivation set-ups with a recombinant, protein-secreting yeast strain. The obtained results grant insight into intracellular protein turnover dynamics. Experiments under metabolic but isotopically nonstationary conditions in continuous glucose-limited chemostats at high dilution rates demonstrated faster incorporation of isotope information from labeled glucose into the recombinant reporter protein than in biomass-bound protein. Our results suggest that the reporter protein was polymerized from intracellular amino acid pools with higher turnover rates than biomass-bound protein. The latter aspect might be vital for 13C-flux analyses under isotopically nonstationary conditions for analyzing fast metabolic dynamics. |
