Binding
+
-
SH3 domain has high affinity for proline-rich peptides. The small size and high affinity are ideal for our carrier design. In our experiment, we used a short peptide with a Kd of 3.67μM (Y. Jacquot, et al., 2007) as the binding motif and planned to transport protein substrates with this peptide sequence.
+
-
This part comprises expression of three proteins, namely, OmpA-SH3 protein, which functions as the binding vehicle, OmpA-mCherry protein, which functions as the positive control, Proline-rich containing mCherry protein, which functions as the binding substrate.
+
-
 
+
-
Releasing
+
-
It’s difficult to release the substrate from strong binding, and hence protease is called into play. HIV-protease is readily available and its high efficiency, low molecular weight and high specificity constitutes fine candidate. We only need to add the substrate sequence between OmpA and SH3 sequence and the protease will cut off the binding cassette. In order to segregate the action, we’ll generate a single bacteria strain expressing the protease.
+
-
 
+
-
Transition
+
-
We need to shift between two states, the binding state and the releasing state. This molecular device is well-known for its lag in phase change, which is well adapted for our application. The lag during the phase transition is appropriate for movement and transport.
+
-
 
+
-
Movement
+
-
Kinase system is well utilized in E. Coli movement control. We’ll again use LVA tagged kinase to drive E. Coli towards the target.</div><p>

Team

The team from Tsinghua University is comprised of undergraduates from the School of Life Sciences.

This year we want to exploit the value of E. Coli that is often overlooked, piggy-backing the metabolites as they come across.

More...

Project

This project is aimed to generate several E. Coli strains which will cooperate with each other to move forth and back and transport any desired protein along a gradient. Module composition: binding, releasing, transition, movement...

More...

Parts

We built a host of parts during our project. The idea is that after every small step, we store our sequence as a biobrick part.

This strategy marks our progress and facilitates future use of these sequences.

More...

Experiment

Our experiments are carefully recorded on a daily basis. Through the series of records, we can see our joys and sorrows.

Besides, we made the records for the purpose that our experiments can be repeated one day by someone else, thus contributing to the exploration of the unknown.

More...

Cooperation

Cooperative atmosphere is filled in our project.

We resorted to Tsinghua-A iGEM Team while building our mathematical models. On the other hand, we spared no effort helping other teams with their wet labs. We helped XMU Team with their parts building and helped verified the shuttle vector of NYMU.

More...

Protection & Publicity

As far as wet lab is concerned, safety and protection is of the highest priority. We highly valued safety in all our operations and made a detailed safety brochure.

We also devoted efforts to publicize synthetic biology. The teams in China held a summer meetup to discuss our progress and share our resources. We also invited the former team leader of PKU to give a seminar on synthetic biology and iGEM competition.
