Figure 6. Yeast ergosterol diagram based on the highest sterol related SL-E logarithmic gains (metabolites) from Table S6.

Figure 6

The diagram summarizes the ten time dependent metabolites of the ergosterol pathway associated with the highest sum of logarithmic gain magnitudes that are bigger than 1 (see Fig. 1 and Table S6). Solid boxes show time dependent variables and italics represent time independent variables. Consecutive arrows represent multiple enzymatic reactions, and the dashed arrow indicates a feedback signal. Blue boxes represent metabolites that also appear in the sphingolipid pathway (Fig. 2). Abbreviations for the time dependent variables: Acetyl-CoA (Ac-CoA), X25; Endoplasmic reticulum ergosterol (Ergosterol), X32; Steryl Lanosterol, X33; Steryl Zymosterol, X34; Steryl Ergosterol in Bulk Lipid Particles (Steryl Ergosterol-1), X 35; Outer Leaflet Ergosterol in the Plasma Membrane (Ergosterol-o), X 36; Detergent insoluble plasma associated ergosterol (Ergosterol-r), X 37; Internal Acetate (Acetate Int.), X 38; Inner Leaflet Ergosterol in the Plasma Membrane (Ergosterol-i), X 39; Steryl Ergosterol in Plasma Membrane Associated Lipid Particles (Steryl Ergosterol-2), X 40; Golgi Associated Complex Sphingolipids (CS-g), X 8+X 18+X 19; Plasma Membrane Associated Complex Sphingolipids (CS-m), X 20+X 21+X 22.
