Profile

Name: Fgl2
Base Pairs: 1317bp
Origin: Homo sapiens
Properties: A secreted protein that is similar to the beta- and gamma-chains of fibrinogen.

Usage and Biology

In order to heal the intestinal tract damage, one of notable symptoms of IBD, we adopted a special therapy expressing the therapeutic proteins controllably by E.coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) in situ. The design is based on a ternary system: sensor - secretion peptide - therapeutic proteins.

Fig.1 General design of the treatment ternary system

Fgl2 is one of the candidate therapeutic proteins we screened out to treat IBD, which is the effector element in the ternary system.It suppresses intestinal inflammation and CAC development through its role in macrophage polarization

Design and Construction

According to literature research we chose 10 candidate proteins for IBD treatment.

The sequence of Fgl2 is acquired from Gene database (Gene ID: 10875).

Functional Verification

Fig 2. The scheme of the proof-of-concept for therapeutic proteins.

All of these proteins are worth studying, but we only chose a few proteins as a proof of concept in our actual wet lab experiments because of the time limit and the high expense of gene synthesis.
For all candidate therapeutic proteins we did codon analysis with our own software tool.(Fig 3)

Fig 3. Codon preference confident analysis of all candidate therapeutic proteins(Compared with GenSmart).

As for Fgl-2, the result of codon preference is shown in Fig 4.
