<p>Our gene circuit is made of six different variables: the concentrations of three proteins (cI, VIP and GFP) and their respective mRNA inside a cell. In table 1, the symbols for each variable are shown. Proteins are represented by a single letter and their mRNAs are represented by that same letter with a lowercase "m" before it.</p>

<p>To parameterize our model, we chose to follow the approach of team Beijing 2009; they propose a relationship between the gene length in base pairs and the maximum transcription rate and, similarly, between the protein length in amino acid numbers and the maximum translation rate. Assuming that the number of polymerases and ribosomes are the average values determined for E. coli, the following equations are used:</p>

Abstract

Thermonator III: The crop guardian

Our project is about a genetic engineered machine in E. coli with the ability to produce Vip3ca3 which acts as a pesticide protein. Vip3ca3 production will be regulated by specific temperatures in order to avoid overproduction and it will show activity against target organisms Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, which are related to a local problem concerning potato crops. The Vip3ca3 production is regulated with a constitutive promoter and a riboswitch that initiate translation around 32°C. Since we want to produce the Vip3ca3 below the 32°C, we use a set of promoter-repressors in order to invert the activation of the protein production. This model may be used as a regulator in future transgenic plant generations for the production of substances against plagues, avoiding pesticide overproduction, thus reducing the effect in Non-Target Organisms and bioaccumulation and can be used with different temperature ranges and/or different proteins to attack other target organisms.
