From DNA to Protein

18.0K
The flow of genetic information in cells from DNA to mRNA to protein is described by the central dogma, which states that genes specify the sequence of mRNAs, which in turn specify the sequence of amino acids making up all proteins. The decoding of one molecule to another is performed by specific proteins and RNAs. Because the information stored in DNA is so central to cellular function, it makes intuitive sense that the cell would make mRNA copies of this information for protein synthesis...

  • Plant biotechnology
  • Genetic engineering

Background:

  • Synthetic genetic circuits promise precise control over gene expression in plants.
  • Traditional deterministic circuits struggle with the inherent biological randomness and metabolic uncertainty of plant environments.

  • To enable fine-tuning of plant adaptation to stress and accelerate complex expression design.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of requirements for Boolean logic gate functionality in variable intracellular conditions.
  • Translation of a probabilistic circuit model (Pervaiz's model) into biological components.
  • Biological representation of weighted matrices as regulatory elements affecting transcription near promoters.
  • Development of a framework for electrical bit to biological bit translation.
  • Incorporation of failsafe mechanisms like self-eliminating CRISPR-Cas9 and dosage compensation.

Main Results:

  • A method for assuring Boolean logic gate sequences function in unpredictable intracellular conditions.
  • A pathway for translating probabilistic circuit models into functional biological systems.
  • Demonstration of electrical bit to biological bit translation through regulatory elements.
  • Identification of necessary failsafe mechanisms for biological circuit implementation.
