Revision as of 04:38, 21 September 2012
Summary
This summer, Peking 2012 iGEM team benefitted a lot from the collaboration with Prof. YANG Yi and other iGEM teams. By paying reciprocal visits with Prof. Yang, we introduced our design of Luminesensor to him and so got the prototype of part VVD. By help some other teams with their contests, we built lifelong friendship with team members across the world.
Reciprocal visit with Prof. YANG Yi
& Request for VVD
Greatly inspired by the elaborate design of an ultrasensitive, light-controlled transactivator Gal4-VVD [1], Peking 2012 iGEM team intended to introduce a similar light-switchable transgene system into E. coli, and so invited Prof. YANG Yi from East China University of Science and Technology to visit Peking and to communicate with the team members. Later, Peking 2012 team members also made another visit to Prof. YANG Yi.
The publication [1] of an ultra photosensitive, genetically encoded positive regulator, Gal4-VVD, which is rationally designed to enjoy a high spatiotemporal specificity and efficiency, greatly enlightened the Peking 2012 iGEM team on its primitive aim for programming cells to function and communicate through light.
By sharing a mutual concern of introducing a similar system into E. coli for synthetic biological application, Prof. YANG Yi from East China University of Science and Technology and our team paid reciprocal visits to each other. During Prof. Yang’s visit to Peking University on 21st April, we shared a common view on the basic design of a LexA-VVD genetic regulator and reached a consensus for further cooperation.
Two months later, deputy team leader ZHOU Wenyuan and another team member YAN Jiawei visited Yang's lab in Shanghai to exchange ideas on experimental data and to obtain Prof. Yang’s prototype of genetic construction of the fusion protein.
This very cooperation is not only beneficial to both sides, but also provides an opportunity for future collaborations.
Helping other teams
accomplish their projects
Another important part of iGEM is helping other teams through communication and collaboration. Team SJTU-BioX-Shanghai found out that in Team Peking_R 2011 programmed ribozymes to control the expression of VioABDE gene, and so requested biobricks of BBa_K598019 and BBa_K598020 for them to incorporate in their "Membrane Workshop" project. We sent them the parts for them to use.
