AND gate
In order to integrate the memory units, we designed the AND gate system. To modulate gene expression at the translation level, we harness the use of engineered RNA-based/riboregulator system. After transcription, the 5’ UTR of crRNA-LasR transcript will form a stem-loop structure that blocks the RBS and prevents translation. To activate the expression of a self-repressed gene, the taRNA which is complementary to crRNA will unfold the stem-loop structure thus exposing the obstructed RBS and permit translation. (Isaacs, 2006)
Parts
The design of the AND gate circuit is based on two constructs, noncoding taRNA-DT cloned downstream of a hybB promoter (PhybB) and a cI promoter (PcI) cloned upstream crRNA-RBS-LasR-TAG-DT. In attempt to characterize the functional assembled parts, we cotransformed plasmid harboring AND gate system with reporter plasmid downstream LasR promoter.
