Transferring 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 کاملBimodal and Hysteretic Expression in Mammalian Cells from a Synthetic Gene Circuit
In order to establish cells and organisms with predictable properties, synthetic biology makes use of controllable, synthetic genetic devices. These devices are used to replace or to interfere with natural pathways. Alternatively, they may be interlinked with endogenous pathways to create artificial networks of higher complexity. While these approaches have been already successful in prokaryote...
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 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...
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...
