• Our design:
  

To achieve our specific aim, we have designed a novel reporting assay (Speedy reporter) for quickly detect and measure the mRNA location and quantity, it can be also use for protein detection. And we design a novel switch (Speedy switch) for control the translation in gene expression. We have also designed a faster degradation system (Speedy protein degrader); it allows us to regulate the degradation time for study the mRNA without the interference from translation and quickly stop the gene expression.
The parts our project is made up of:

• Speedy switch
  • Faster production of protein by inducing the translation of pre-transcribed RNA molecules.
• Speedy reporter
  • Using mRNA aptamers and split GFP-eIF4A reporter systems to show promoter activity faster.
• Speedy protein degrader
  • Fast, specific, and constitutive proteolysis achieved by engineering fluorescent proteins with LVA
