synthetic gene networks that count Lv ChenChen

A counter!! A counter is a key component in digital circuits and computing that retains memory of events or objects, representing each number of such as a distinct state.

Counter in cells processes or biomolecules to maintain metabolism and growth. telomere length regulation cell aggregation threshold effect: ( 门槛效应;识阈效应 ) system behaviors Critical Observed phenotypic change.

Friedland et al. take important steps to build biological counters by integrating these functional operations. Two different circuit architectures for encoding counters that trigger the expression of a desired protein following the processing of two or three input signal pulses.

riboregulated transcriptional cascade (RTC) counter Riboregulators (cis and trans) a stem-loop structure count brief arabinose pulses RTC two-counter promoter PLtet0-1 T7 RNA polymerase downstream gene (GFP)

expected expression profiles Arabinose 树胶醛醣

RTC three-counter expected expression profiles after zero, one, two, and three arabinose pulses

Mean fluorescence of three replicates of RTC two/three-counter cell populations over time, measured by a flow cytometer. considerable slope slight leakage temporal progression

Recombinase Cre and flpe loxP and flperecombination target (FRT) sites The DIC counter

The DIC three-counter

Mean fluorescence of single-inducer DIC three-counter cell populations over time

GFP fluorescence ratios between the single-inducer DIC three-counter exposed to three pulses of arabinose (N) versus two pulses of arabinose (N – 1) with varying arabinose pulse lengths and intervals; experimental results are represented by black dots.

The multiple-inducer DIC three-counter

synthetic counters complementary designs be used across a range of time scales RTC: as a safety mechanism (in biosensing, bioremediation, or medical purposes) Mul-indu-DIC : sequential events (in settings: developmental biology and gene cascades sin-indu- DIC : events encountered in its environment (e.g., for biosensing); SIMM design :in synthetic circuits to maintain genetic memory of low-frequency events
