Engineered promoters enable constant gene expression at any copy number in bacteria
Nature Biotechnology 36, 352 (2018). doi:10.1038/nbt.4111 Authors: Thomas H Segall-Shapiro, Eduardo D Sontag & Christopher A Voigt The internal environment of growing cells is variable and dynamic, making it difficult to introduce reliable parts, such as promoters, for genetic engineering. Here, we applied control-theoretic ideas to design promoters that maintained constant levels of expression at any copy number. Theory predicts that independence to copy number can be achieved by using an incoherent feedforward loop (iFFL) if the negative regulation is perfectly non-cooperative. We engineered iFFLs into Escher...
