Engineering allosteric transcription factors guided by the LacI topology.
Allosteric transcription factors (aTFs) are used in a myriad of processes throughout biology and biotechnology. aTFs have served as the workhorses for developments in synthetic biology, fundamental research, and protein manufacturing. One of the most utilized TFs is the lactose repressor (LacI). In addition to being an exceptional tool for gene regulation, LacI has also served as an outstanding model system for understanding allosteric communication. In this perspective, we will use the LacI TF as the principal exemplar for engineering alternate functions related to allostery-i.e., alternate protein DNA interactions, alternate protein-ligand interactions, and alternate phenotypic mechanisms. In addition, we will summarize the design rules and heuristics for each design goal and demonstrate how the resulting design rules and heuristics can be extrapolated to engineer other aTFs with a similar topology-i.e., from the broader LacI/GalR family of TFs.

期刊介绍:
In 2015, Cell Systems was founded as a platform within Cell Press to showcase innovative research in systems biology. Our primary goal is to investigate complex biological phenomena that cannot be simply explained by basic mathematical principles. While the physical sciences have long successfully tackled such challenges, we have discovered that our most impactful publications often employ quantitative, inference-based methodologies borrowed from the fields of physics, engineering, mathematics, and computer science. We are committed to providing a home for elegant research that addresses fundamental questions in systems biology.
