Hysteresis in a synthetic mammalian gene network.
Bistable and hysteretic switches, enabling cells to adopt multiple internal expression states in response to a single external input signal, have a pivotal impact on biological systems, ranging from cell-fate decisions to cell-cycle control. We have designed a synthetic hysteretic mammalian transcription network. A positive feedback loop, consisting of a transgene and transactivator (TA) cotran...
متن کاملEngineering of synthetic mammalian gene networks.
Synthetic biology, the science of engineering complex biological systems with novel functions, is increasingly fascinating researchers across disciplines who gather to design functional biological assemblies in a rational and systematic manner. Although initial success stories were based on reprogramming prokaryotic and lower eukaryotic cells, the design of synthetic mammalian gene circuits is ...
متن کاملDynamical Properties of a Two-gene Network with Hysteresis
A mathematical model for a two-gene regulatory network is derived and several oftheir properties analyzed. Due to the presence of mixed continuous/discrete dynam-ics and hysteresis, we employ a hybrid systems model to capture the dynamics of thesystem. The proposed model incorporates binary hysteresis with different thresholdscapturing the interaction between the genes. We a...
متن کاملA 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...
