Synthetic gene expression perturbation systems with rapid, tunable, single-gene specificity in yeast
A general method for the dynamic control of single gene expression in eukaryotes, with no off-target effects, is a long-sought tool for molecular and systems biologists. We engineered two artificial transcription factors (ATFs) that contain Cys(2)His(2) zinc-finger DNA-binding domains of either the mouse transcription factor Zif268 (9 bp of specificity) or a rationally designed array of four zi...
متن کاملThe synthetic biology toolbox for tuning gene expression in yeast.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae can serve as a key production platform for biofuels, nutraceuticals, industrial compounds, and therapeutic proteins. Over the recent years, synthetic biology tools and libraries have expanded in yeast to provide newfound control over regulation and synthetic circuits. This review provides an update on the status of the synthetic biology toolbox in yeast for use as a cel...
متن کاملGene–Environment Interaction in Yeast Gene Expression
The effects of genetic variants on phenotypic traits often depend on environmental and physiological conditions, but such gene-environment interactions are poorly understood. Recently developed approaches that treat transcript abundances of thousands of genes as quantitative traits offer the opportunity to broadly characterize the architecture of gene-environment interactions. We examined the g...
متن کاملRapid Communication Tissue and Gene Specificity of Mouse Renin Expression
The Ren-1 locus of mice encodes the protease renin, which with converting enzyme processes angiotensinogen to the potent vasopressor angiotensin II. Some strains of mice appear to carry a duplication of the renin structural gene (Ren-2) near the Ren-1 locus. Strains with the gene duplication can exhibit as much as 100-fold higher levels of submaxillary gland renin compared to strains with a sin...
متن کاملEngineering robust and tunable spatial structures with synthetic gene circuits
Controllable spatial patterning is a major goal for the engineering of biological systems. Recently, synthetic gene circuits have become promising tools to achieve the goal; however, they need to possess both functional robustness and tunability in order to facilitate future applications. Here we show that, by harnessing the dual signaling and antibiotic features of nisin, simple synthetic circ...
