摘要
En 中文
Synthetic biology aims to modify cellular behaviors by implementing genetic circuits that respond to changes in cell state. Integrating genetic biosensors into endogenous gene coding sequences using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats and Cas9 enables interrogation of gene expression dynamics in the appropriate chromosomal context. However, embedding a biosensor into a gene coding sequence may unpredictably alter endogenous gene regulation. To address this challenge, we developed an approach to integrate genetic biosensors into endogenous genes without modifying their coding sequence by inserting into their terminator region single-guide RNAs that activate downstream circuits. Sensor dosage responses can be fine-tuned and predicted through a mathematical model. We engineered a cell stress sensor and actuator in CHO-K1 cells that conditionally activates antiapoptotic protein BCL-2 through a downstream circuit, thereby increasing cell survival under stress conditions. Our gene sensor and actuator platform has potential use for a wide range of applications that include biomanufacturing, cell fate control and cell-based therapeutics.
