Project Overview
We want to establish a biotechnological production of miRNA2911 in E. coli. The production shall furthermore be induced by light, for which we plan to use BioBricks from the Registry like the Cph8-EnvZ system.
After our bacteria have produced enough of the miRNA, we want them to lyse themselves after a heat-induction. We plan on using the GroEL promoter in combination with a lysing gene pezT.
After the bacteria have lysed themselves, the miRNA could in principle be extracted from the solution and applied as a drug against influenza A infections.
In the following section we will give a detailed description of the theoretical background of each component.
