Genome-wide maps of CRP(T168P)-binding change in Escherichia coli W

ABSTRACT: Using a synthetic biosensor to couple production of a specific metabolite with cell growth, we spontaneously evolved cells under the selective condition toward the acquisition of genotypes that optimally reallocated cellular resources. Using 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) production from glycerol in Escherichia coli as a model system, we determined that spontaneous mutations in the conserved regions of proteins involved in global transcriptional regulation altered the expression of several genes associated with central carbon metabolism. Our study provides a new perspective on adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) using synthetic biosensors, thereby supporting future efforts in metabolic pathway optimization.

Engineering and exploiting synthetic allostery of NanoLuc luciferase

Project description:The ability to endow constitutively active proteins with synthetic allostery is a central objective of Synthetic Biology, mostly focused on the creation of protein biosensors – artificial sensing proteins with easily quantifiable outputs. Here we hypothesize that circular permutation of proteins increases the probability of functional coupling of new N- and C- terminal sequences with the active center of the protein through increased local structural disorder. We test this by constructing a synthetically allosteric version of circular permutated NanoLuc luciferase, activated through ligand-induced intramolecular non-covalent cyclisation. The developed biosensors cover a range of emission wavelengths and display sensitivity as low as 50 pM and dynamic range as high as 16-fold and could quantify their cognate ligand in human fluids such as saliva, serum and lysed blood. We apply hydrogen exchange kinetic mass spectrometry to analyze time resolved structural changes in the developed biosensors and observed ligand-mediated folding of newly created termini. While a large study is required for determining how frequent synthetic allostery emerges following circular permutation and what types of protein folds are susceptible to it, this study provides motivation and justification for such efforts.

Dynamic mode decomposition of transcriptome dynamics and optimal sensor placement for discovery of genetic reporters

Project description:Accelerating the design of synthetic biological circuits for biosensing requires expanding the currently available genetic toolkit. Although whole-cell biosensors have been successfully engineered and deployed, particularly in applications such as environmental and medical diagnostics, novel sensing applications necessitate the discovery and optimization of novel biosensors. Here we develop a data-driven approach that combines dynamic mode decomposition and observability analysis to extract salient, endogenous genetic sensors for analytes of interest from dynamic gene expression profiles. We show that relatively few dynamic modes are required to capture the transcriptome dynamics. The concept of system observability is then used to rank genes based on their ability to reconstruct the cell state. Genes which contribute to the system's observability are dubbed encoder genes. As a demonstration of our method, we extract, construct, and characterize 15 genetic reporters for the organophosphate malathion in the host bacterium \textit{Pseudomonas fluorescens} SBW25. Furthermore, we demonstrate how the distinct responses of each genetic reporter can be used to construct a single-input, single-output virtual sensor network, approximating a pair of reference trajectories. This library of living malathion sensors can be optimized for use in environmental diagnostics while the developed machine learning tool can be applied to discover genetic reporters in the compendium of host organisms and environmental conditions.

Eliciting plant defenses by exposition to HIPV’s: a new sustainable approach to manage agricultural pests

Project description:Plants communicate with each other using specific volatiles to warn of attacks and thus are able to activate defense mechanisms that make them more robust against external aggressions. In this research, we have activated defense responses of tomato plants by exposing them to two synthetic Herbivore Induced Plant Volatiles (HIPVs): (Z)-3-hexenyl propanoate (HP) [(Z)-3-HP] and methyl salicylate (MeSA). Tomato plants induced by both volatiles turned out to be less attractive to key tomato pests such as Bemisia tabaci and Tuta absoluta and more attractive to natural enemies. Under semi-field conditions the (Z)-3-HP-mediated activation reduced the subsequent attack of Tetranychus urticae and T. absoluta to less than half. With this knowledge, dispensers to release (Z)-3-HP under field conditions were designed and calibrated. The use of these selected dispensers in commercial tomato greenhouses maintained defensively activated plants and reduced the impact of T. absoluta by almost 60%. Metabolomics analysis indicated increased production of fatty acid-derived compounds in treated leaves, consistent with the activation of the lipoxygenase pathway. Plants elicited with (Z)-3-HP and MeSA also accumulated specific defense compounds like glykoalkaloids and phenylpropanoids. Transcriptomic profiling confirmed the activation of transcripts involve in defense (ie. proteinase inhibitors) and specialized defense metabolism. Our work demonstrates for the first time under real field conditions how the use of HIPVs as elicitors of plant defenses can be successfully integrated as a new biorational and sustainable tool within pest management programs.

Comparative RNA-Seq of Cupriavidus necator H16, formerly Ralstonia eutropha H16, grown in minimal media with 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) or fructose as sole carbon source.

Project description:3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a promising platform chemical with various industrial applications. Several metabolic routes to produce 3-HP from organic substrates such as sugars or glycerol have been implemented in yeast, enterobacterial species and other microorganisms. In this work, we investigated 3-HP metabolism of the well-studied ‘Knallgas bacterium’ Cupriavidus necator, a potential C1-chassis for the production of 3-HP and other fatty acid derivatives from CO2 and H2. When testing C. necator for its tolerance towards 3-HP, it was noted that it could utilise the compound as the sole source of carbon and energy.

Promoter Identification and Optimization for the Response of Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1 to the Gram-negative pathogen-associated molecule N-3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone

Project description:Quorum sensing (QS) in bacteria has been a well studied cellular communication phenomenon for decades. In recent years, such systems have been repurposed for the use of biosensors in both cellular and cell-free contexts as well as for inducible protein expression in non-traditional chassis organisms. Such biosensors are particularly intriguing when considering the association between the pathogenesis of some bacteria and the QS signaling intermediates. Considering this relationship, and considering the recent demonstration of the species L. plantarum WCFS1 as both a synthetic biology chassis and an organism capable of detecting a pathogen-associated QS molecule, we wanted to develop this organism as a QS sentinel. Using an approach combining techniques from both systems and synthetic biology, we identified a number of native QS response genes and altered associated promoter activity to tune the output of L. plantarum cultures exposed to N-3-oxododecanoyl homoserine lactone. The resulting engineered QS sentinel reinforces the potential of modified Lactic Acid Bacteria for use in human health promoting applications, and also demonstrates a simple rational workflow to engineer sentinel organisms to respond to any environmental or chemical stimuli.
