ZF21.16-VP64

Part Description

This part is coding for our intracellular transcription module, which is formed of 3 elements: the first is zinc finger 21.16, which drives our transcription module to its promoter; the second is nuclear localization signal SV40, which mediates the entrance of the transcription unit into the nucleus; the previous two elements are linked through a G4S linker in between; and the third is VP64, which is a potent transcription factor.

Usage

This part is implemented in our design to represent the internal domain of the syn notch receptor, which controls the level of our therapeutic agent by releasing the transcription factor VP64, which triggers the expression of the internal circuit that secretes the exosomes' cargo, which is regulated by ZF 21-16 minCMV promoter activity as shown in figure 1.
