Alternative construction and design possiblities

  • up-limiter
  • dual limiter
  • limiter device as a regulatory bridge between two pathways
  • killswitch
  • Smolke’s gal2 knockout scheme for using the GAL1 promoter
  • Finding additional inducible/repressible promoters to use in the system
  • Ribozyme switch inhibition to knockdown leakiness of Repressor#3 (this would need to designed so that the aptamer on the repressor #3 mRNA responds to Repressor #2 protein)

In order to modify our limiter to regulate an endogenous gene network, one must study a gene pathway map and identify a single link between the gene of interest and a transcription factor that regulates the expression of that gene.
