A synthetic mammalian gene circuit reveals antituberculosis compounds.
Synthetic biology provides insight into natural gene-network dynamics and enables assembly of engineered transcription circuitries for production of difficult-to-access therapeutic molecules. In Mycobacterium tuberculosis EthR binds to a specific operator (O(ethR)) thereby repressing ethA and preventing EthA-catalyzed conversion of the prodrug ethionamide, which increases the resistance of the ...
متن کاملTransferring a synthetic gene circuit from yeast to mammalian cells
The emerging field of synthetic biology builds gene circuits for scientific, industrial and therapeutic needs. Adaptability of synthetic gene circuits across different organisms could enable a synthetic biology pipeline, where circuits are designed in silico, characterized in microbes and reimplemented in mammalian settings for practical usage. However, the processes affecting gene circuit adap...
متن کاملCorrelated Noise in a Synthetic Gene Circuit Reveals Regulation
Simulations and analysis in the previous chapter are based on parameters for the λ cI system. Here, we test those predictions experimentally by building a synthetic circuit using the λ cI repressor and other characterized circuit elements in E. coli bacteria. The synthetic circuit uses three fluorescent proteins so that noisy gene expression can be monitored with time-lapse microscopy. To apply...
متن کاملA synthetic mammalian electro-genetic transcription circuit
Electric signal processing has evolved to manage rapid information transfer in neuronal networks and muscular contraction in multicellular organisms and controls the most sophisticated man-built devices. Using a synthetic biology approach to assemble electronic parts with genetic control units engineered into mammalian cells, we designed an electric power-adjustable transcription control circui...
متن کاملA synthetic time-delay circuit in mammalian cells and mice.
Time-delay circuitries in which a transcription factor processes independent input parameters can modulate NF-kappaB activation, manage quorum-sensing cross-talk, and control the circadian clock. We have constructed a synthetic mammalian gene network that processes four different input signals to control either immediate or time-delayed transcription of specific target genes. BirA-mediated liga...
