Abstract Biological systems are robust and redundant. The redundancy can manifest as alternative metabolic pathways. Synthetic double lethals are pairs of reactions that, when deleted simultaneously, abrogate cell growth. However, removing one reaction allows the rerouting of metabolites through alternative pathways. Little is known about these hidden linkages between pathways. Understanding them in the context of pathogens is useful for therapeutic innovations. We propose a constraint-based optimisation approach to identify inter-dependencies between metabolic pathways. It minimises rerouting between two reaction deletions, corresponding to a synthetic lethal pair, and outputs the set of reactions vital for metabolic rewiring, known as the synthetic lethal cluster. We depict the results for different pathogens and show that the reactions span across metabolic modules, illustrating the complexity of metabolism. Finally, we demonstrate how the two classes of synthetic lethals play a role in metabolic networks and influence the different properties of a synthetic lethal cluster. |
