   This year, we aim to make further development of  "Dr. ''E. coli''" our project of iGEM 2010. Dr. ''E. coli'' can inject desired protein molecules into a target eukaryotic cell through a syringe like organelle named Type 3 Secretion  System (T3SS). Pathogenic gram-negative bacterium such as ''Salmonella''  has  T3SS. In nature it is used to inject virulence effector proteins into a target eukaryotic cell. Last year, we showed that T3SS works in ''E. coli'' by injecting GFP into RK13 cells.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This year, we are going one step further. Using Dr. ''E. coli'' as a "nano  injection system", we are planning to develop a cancer terminator or carry out direct reprogramming of somatic cells; for example we aim to induce differentiation from preadipocyte to insulin-secreting cell.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For human practice, we are going to hold a Science Gallery. We will exhibit awesome photographs related with molecular biology in a public place and ask some questions about synthetic biology. We hope to catch the public's interest in current biotechnology and investigate the public's thoughts about synthetic biology.

Our study will not contain any manipulation associated with pathogenic bacteria, live salmonella bacteria. Although we are planning to use a part of Salmonella's genome which was obtained from Salmonella Genetic Stock Centre (SGSC), our instructor obtained appropriate permission from the safety officer of genetic recombination in our universities. These E. coli were acknowledged as non-pathogenic and permitted to be used under P1 safety level.

Abstract

We further developed "Dr. E. coli": our project of iGEM 2010. Last year, we showed that Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS) works in E. coli by injecting GFP into RK13 cells. T3SS is a syringe like organelle found in bacterium such as Salmonella which uses it to inject virulence effector proteins into a target eukaryotic cell. We think this system can be applied to direct reprogramming of somatic cells among many other things.

We tested T3SS performance and tried to make it more convenient. For this purpose we designed a plasmid backbone which can instantly produce ready-to-inject fusion proteins from ordinary biobrick part. Using it, we tried to further characterize this system by injecting a library of protein domains.

In Science Gallery we exhibited awesome photographs related with biotechnology in public. We tried to catch the pedestrians’ interest in current synthetic biology and explore their thoughts.

BioArt

We held the new type science art gallery "Bio Art" at the center of Sapporo city.

This gallery is not only for our team.You can also enjoy Bio Art on this Web page. You can watch more detail in Human Practice page.
