This project will explore options to develop novel forms of posttranscriptional circuitry for use in synthetic biology. In order to do this, an array of components, including RNA-binding proteins, RNA binding target motifs, degrons, effectors of these components, and other entities, will be studied in different combinations and tested in a range of novel scenarios. The various components will be characterised in detail and then their behaviour will be studied in the context of newly-constructed circuits. One of the contexts explored will be that of regulated expression of heterologous genes, for example genes involved in the biosynthesis of mycosporin-like amino acids (MAAs).In addition, the project will examine the benefits of combining transcriptional and posttranscriptional control elements in synthetic circuitry.

这个项目将探索各种选择，以开发用于合成生物学的新型转录后电路。为了做到这一点，将在不同的组合中研究一系列组件，包括RNA结合蛋白、RNA结合靶基序、降解物、这些组件的效应器和其他实体，并在一系列新的场景中进行测试。将详细描述各种组件的特征，然后在新构建的电路的背景下研究它们的行为。其中一个内容将是异源基因的调控表达，例如参与霉菌素样氨基酸(MAAs)生物合成的基因。此外，该项目还将检查在合成电路中结合转录和转录后控制元件的好处。
