Homeostasis is one of the fundamental concepts in physiology. Despite remarkable progress in our molecular understanding of amino acid transport, metabolism and signalling, it remains unclear by what mechanisms cytosolic amino acid concentrations are maintained. We propose that amino acid transporters are the primary determinants of intracellular amino acid levels. We show that a cells endowment with amino acid transporters can be deconvoluted by a logical series of experiments. This was used to computationally simulate amino acid translocation across the plasma membrane. For two different cancer cell lines and human myotubes, transport simulation generates cytosolic amino acid concentrations that are close to those observed in vitro. Perturbations of the system were replicated in silico and could be applied to systems where only transcriptomic data are available. The methodology developed in this study is widely applicable to other transport processes and explain amino acid homeostasis at the systems-level.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
