Orthogonal hormonal system

Our orthogonal hormonal system is based on the use of auxin, a plant hormone. To implement this system, we used two different type of device corresponding to the production and the reception of auxin in the tadpole.

Devices

We envisaged 3 ways of design our auxin production device in tadpoles. The devices 1 and 2 have been designed to be expressed in tadpole's embryos, while device 3 have been designed to be expressed in E.coli. In this last case, the aim is that the tadpoles eat bacteria expressing device 3.

3 devices for production
  • Auxin production device 1 : this device is composed of BBa_K812???, coding for IaaM, and BBa_K812120 , coding for IaaH (Indoleacetamide hydrolyase). for auxin generator, with a kozak sequence for the use in tadpole's embryos.
  • Auxin production device 2 : this device is composed of BBa_K812014. It is ment for the co-expression of IaaH and IaaM gene in the same cell in tadpole. This two devices have been designed to be expressed in
  • Auxin production device 3 : this device is composed of BBa_K515100, coding for IaaM and IaaH.
