Our Project
The goal of our team this year is to provide a toolkit that allows scientists to split proteins and fuse them to drug-inducible dimerizable domains. When the inducer drug is present in the system the two protein halves will fuse and only then will the protein be able to perform its function. In this way we hope to give the scientific community a clear and straightforward method for gaining tighter control of protein expression. This summer we will be working primarily with the large serine integrase family and saCAS9 protein to develope the splitting toolkit. Additionally, our team will be implementing these split protein systems in mammalian cells to further the communities understanding of how to best operate in these types of cells.
