Mandlik2015 - Tristable genetic circuit of Leishmania

ABSTRACT: Vineetha Mandlik, Mayuri Gurav & Shailza Singh. Regulatory dynamics of network architecture and function in tristable genetic circuit of Leishmania: a mathematical biology approach. Journal of Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics 33, 12 (2015). The emerging field of synthetic biology has led to the design of tailor-made synthetic circuits for several therapeutic applications. Biological networks can be reprogramed by designing synthetic circuits that modulate the expression of target proteins. IPCS (inositol phosphorylceramide synthase) has been an attractive target in the sphingolipid metabolism of the parasite Leishmania. In this study, we have constructed a tristable circuit for the IPCS protein. The circuit has been validated and its long-term behavior has been assessed. The robustness and evolvability of the circuit has been estimated using evolutionary algorithms. The tristable synthetic circuit has been specifically designed to improve the rate of production of phosphatidylcholine: ceramide cholinephosphotransferase 4 (SLS4 protein). Site-specific delivery of the circuit into the parasite-infected macrophages could serve as a possible therapeutic intervention of the infectious disease 'Leishmaniasis'.

Project description:Mandlik2012 - Synthetic circuit of IPC synthase in Leishmania A genetic circuit for the targeted enzyme inositol phosphorylceramide (IPC) synthase belonging to the protozoan parasite Leishmania is constructed by Mandlik et al. (2013). This model is described in the article: Synthetic circuit of inositol phosphorylceramide synthase in Leishmania: a chemical biology approach Mandlik V., Limbachiya D., Shinde S., Mol M, S., Singh, S. J Chem Biol. January 2013 Abstract: Building circuits and studying their behavior in cells is a major goal of systems and synthetic biology. Synthetic biology enables the precise control of cellular states for systems studies, the discovery of novel parts, control strategies, and interactions for the design of robust synthetic systems. To the best of our knowledge, there are no literature reports for the synthetic circuit construction for protozoan parasites. This paper describes the construction of genetic circuit for the targeted enzyme inositol phosphorylceramide synthase belonging to the protozoan parasite Leishmania. To explore the dynamic nature of the circuit designed, simulation was done followed by circuit validation by qualitative and quantitative approaches. The genetic circuit designed for inositol phosphorylceramide synthase (Biomodels Database—MODEL1208030000) shows responsiveness, oscillatory and bistable behavior, together with intrinsic robustness.
