Taxi.Coli: Smart Drug Delivery iGEM EPFL

Header

Up until now we succeded
• Producing Nanoparticles and loading them
• Clone a pH sensitive promoter
• Engineer a fusion protein between ice nucleation protein and streptavidin

But we didn't have enough time to characterize completely and assemble the parts to form the Taxi.Coli.

What we would have done with more time:

Nanoparticles




Cell surface display of Streptavidin

• Cloned a plasmid that encodes a fusion protein INP-Streptavidin-YFP and one INP-YFP-Streptavidin. Then we would have been able to use the exact same protocol we used to characterize the Biobrick BBa_K523013, to proof surface localization.
• Cloned a plasmid that encodes a fusion protein of INP with for example protein A to check if the

Sensing/Effector




Taxi.Coli

• Cloned one of our Biobricks in a backbone that contains another resistance than chloramphenicol to cotransfect bacteria with the Plasmids responsible for Sensing/Effector and the Plasmid used to connect the Nanoparticles.
