Turn Me On, Lactones! New Tools For Self-Organized Pattern Formation University of Cambridge iGEM 2006

Aims New Tools for Self-organised Pattern Formation Two possible systems the tools could be used for are: –Bi-directional signalling –A population based bi-stable switch

Bi-directional Signalling

Project Overview New tools for self-organised pattern formation Tools - Genetic circuit - Parts Modelling - Single-cell dynamics - Multi-cell interaction Experiments - Swimming assay - AHL bio-assay Results – Autonomous pattern formation

Genetic Circuit

Auto Induction 3O-C6- HSL 3O-C12- HSL Switch System Illustration Positive Feedback Type 2 cells behave in a complementary but analogous manner.

AHL Sender Cassettes: No. 1 Lux autoinducer: 1681 bp

AHL Sender Cassettes: No. 1 Lux autoinducer: 1681 bp

AHL Sender Cassettes: No. 2 Las autoinducer: 1768 bp

Circuit Properties Non-cell-autonomous behaviour Bi-directionality through cross-wiring of lux and las Equivalence of contesting populations Tunable signalling kinetics Feedback coupling of receiver response to sender Complex signalling dynamics, directly and v ividly visualised

Modelling Single Cell Dynamics Objectives - Model dynamics of a single cell equipped with the genetic circuit - Observe behaviours such as auto-induction and switching Assumptions - Type 1 and type 2 cells have identical dynamics - Luxr and Lasr genes are constitutively expressed

Matlab Plot Auto Induction Switching Step Input of HSL 2

Conway’s Game of Life Neighbour-dependent => analogous to our system Assumptions No cells die 2 types of cells are identical Colours change at boundary Modelling Multi-cell Interaction

Simulation Program

Experiments – Swimming Assay E. coli MC % Bactoagar E. coli MG % Bactoagar E. coli XL-1 Blue 0.3% Bactoagar All are incubated at 30˚C overnight

Experiments – Swimming Assay Four inoculations of XL-1 Blue Cells E. Coli MC-1000 and XL-1 Blue Differential cell motility Spontaneous pattern formation

Fluorescent Patterns

Bioassay For AHL production Chromobacterium violaceum CVO26 can be used as a biosensor to detect AHL production Can distinguish between AHL molecules with N-acyl side-chains from C4-C8 in length and C10-C14 in length McClean et al, Microbiology143, 1997

The interaction of AHL sender cells and AHL receiver cells on a swimming plate; with cell motility defining zones of response leads to …. Cell-cell Communication

Patterning Through Communication

1. Biased inoculations Greens >> Reds 2. Cells replicate over time 3. Green cells outnumber – a few red cells convert 4. More conversions 5. Green cells dominate, i.e. all red cells convert Future Work Population based bi-stable switch

Genetic Circuitry Population based bi-stable switch

Applications Understanding development Understanding tissue invasion and metastasis Understanding bio-films Tissue engineering
