Project

Code name Rising Sun

E.coli UKIYO-E

This project aims to make UKIYO-E by E.coli. UKIYO-E is a genre of Japanese woodblock prints.



You can write a background of your team here. Give us a background of your team, the members, etc. Or tell us more about something of your choosing.

Tell us more about your project. Give us background. Use this is the abstract of your project. Be descriptive but concise (1-2 paragraphs)
Team Example 2
Home The Team The Project Parts Submitted to the Registry Modeling Notebook

(Or you can choose different headings. But you must have a team page, a project page, and a notebook page.)


Our project

We want to make a Coli Touch!!

We try to construct a bacterial ‘touch panel’ which is colored by the pressure.

We name it Coli touch.

 

Why pressure?

Example of input style to genetic circuit

- Heat: thermal gradient

- Small molecule: concentration gradient

- Light: strength depend on location of container

        

           Difficulty in uniform introduction

 

  Press!  Confirmatory experiment

Prospect of technological application!!

 

Pressure inducible promoter - Plac

The affinity of LacI for the lac operator is known to decrease due to a tetramer to dimer transition of LacI

Equipment. Instrument for pressure experiment

Fig 4: Fig4-1 is a pressure vessel. Fig4-4 is a pressurizing system. Fig4-2 show a inside of the vessel. The inside is filled with water and the withstand pressure container is put into the inside. Fig4-3 show a water bath placed some vessel.

Strategy 1.Construction

Confirmatory experiment

Fig1:Pressure-response of Plac-GFP under several pressures measured by flow cytometer

  

Fig2-1:Plac-GFP under 30MPa       Fig2-2:Plac-GFP under 0.1MPa       Fig2-3:⊿-GFP under 30MPa

Stratagy 2. Basic device

Stratagy 3. Development of low pressure inducible promoter

We performed random mutagenesis to lac promoter and tried to screen promoters with FACS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strategy for Isolation of promoters

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Future work

       try Step 2 and 3

       characterize isolated promoters

 

4.Genetic toggle switch to implement rewritable function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

genetic toggle switch

       - Writable function

Plac is induced under 30 MPa pressure

(PL is not induced by 30 MPa pressure)

Express GFP, CI, and CI represses PL

→ bright !!

- Erasable function

PL is induced by heat

Express LacI, Plac represses GFP

→ go out little by little…

 

Future work

      - Identify pressure model parameter from experimental data

      - Simulate pressure induction by pressure model and estimate

        promoter-RBS strength to implement rewritable function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mathematical model
