<p>We are a team of 8 students from Chalmers University of Technology who  will represent Gothenburg, SWEDEN in this year’s iGEM competition. We  have started with a promising idea that combines the cutting edge  technologies available in the field of Synthetic Biology. Our research  basically aims to constructing a reporter mechanism for cellular stress  in yeast by tagging protein and peptides affiliated with the stress  activated SNF1 complex with fluorescent markers. </p>

                               <p>Chalmers is a university of technology in which research and  teaching  are conducted on a broad front within technology, natural  science and  architecture. Our inspiration lies in the joy of discovery  and the  desire to learn. Underlying everything we do is a wish to   contribute to  sustainable development both in Sweden and world-wide.<br>

                               <p>We are a team of 8 students from Chalmers University of Technology    who will represent Gothenburg, SWEDEN in this year’s iGEM competition.    We have started with a promising idea that combines cutting edge    technologies available in the field of Synthetic Biology. Our research    basically aims to constructing an optical reporter mechanism for    cellular stress by tagging the stress activated SNF1 complex in yeast    with fluorescent markers.<br>

                                Our  research work deals ultimately with improving people’s   conditions, and   we often cross traditional boundaries in order to   solve the problems of   the future. Chalmers has become strong within   several areas of science,   and some of our research leads its field   internationally. We wish in   particular to develop and strengthen our   research in the fields of   bioscience, information technology,   environmental science and  nanotechnology.<br>  
+
                              The project is performed with two main experimental   pathways: Both   experimental setups will utilize FRET to visualize the  conformational  change that is the result SNF1 activation. The first  approach consists   of fusing fluorescent two proteins, EYFP and ECFP,  with the SNF1   complex. The principal is that when the protein is   activated it  undergoes a conformational change and this should be   indicated by a  change in the FRET-signal. The second approach utilizes   a SAMS-peptide   with fluorescent proteins fused to each end. The  SAMS-peptide will be  phosphorylated by the active SNF1-complex and  undergo a conformational  change that again will be indicated by the  FRET-signal.<br>

                                Chalmers is a pioneer in Europe in the field of   start-up   companies, and has built up an efficient system of innovation   in order   to find applications in research into the formation of   companies. <br>  
+
                                The long term ambition of this project it is to use the  results in   the pharmaceutical industry when performing high-throughput   screening  for new substances or finding the correct drug  concentrations to use.  The yeast cells with the modified SNF1-complex   can be moved through a  micro-fluidic system, gradually exposing them  to an array of substances   or a concentration gradient thereby easily   finding at which  concentration or by what substance the cells are   stressed. <br>

                                Chalmers has great aspirations to develop continually   by   opening doors to the outside world and by thinking innovatively. We    have a close and productive collaboration with business and society at    large. In this way we reinforce our own development, at the same time   as   we contribute to the growth of society.<br>  
+
                              As of present we have purified the plasmid backbones that   will be   used together with fusion protein insert to transfect the   yeast cells.   The fusion protein primers has arrived and we will start  working with   the fusion PCR as of this week. We have completed the 3D   models of the   fusion proteins and the results look very promising, we   will soon be  able to present docking predictions with the complex.<br>

We are a team of 8 students from Chalmers University of Technology who will represent Gothenburg, SWEDEN in this year’s iGEM competition. We have started with a promising idea that combines cutting edge technologies available in the field of Synthetic Biology. Our research basically aims to constructing an optical reporter mechanism for cellular stress by tagging the stress activated SNF1 complex in yeast with fluorescent markers.

The project is performed with two main experimental pathways: Both experimental setups will utilize FRET to visualize the conformational change that is the result SNF1 activation. The first approach consists of fusing fluorescent two proteins, EYFP and ECFP, with the SNF1 complex. The principal is that when the protein is activated it undergoes a conformational change and this should be indicated by a change in the FRET-signal. The second approach utilizes a SAMS-peptide with fluorescent proteins fused to each end. The SAMS-peptide will be phosphorylated by the active SNF1-complex and undergo a conformational change that again will be indicated by the FRET-signal.

The long term ambition of this project it is to use the results in the pharmaceutical industry when performing high-throughput screening for new substances or finding the correct drug concentrations to use. The yeast cells with the modified SNF1-complex can be moved through a micro-fluidic system, gradually exposing them to an array of substances or a concentration gradient thereby easily finding at which concentration or by what substance the cells are stressed.

As of present we have purified the plasmid backbones that will be used together with fusion protein insert to transfect the yeast cells. The fusion protein primers has arrived and we will start working with the fusion PCR as of this week. We have completed the 3D models of the fusion proteins and the results look very promising, we will soon be able to present docking predictions with the complex.

What we are doing?
Synthetic readout of cellular stress

The cellular stress is sensed by a key protein called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The AMPK protein complex is conserved among all eukaryotes, including yeast, plants and humans.
