We are SYSU-CHINA 2021.This year, we utilize circRNA as molecular scaffold to colalize enzymes, through the interaction of RNA aptamers and RNA binding proteins.For the proof of concept, we planed to perform split EGFP, which is an usual method to detect protein-protein interaction. If we can demonstrate that two EGFP fragments can be dragged to each other through the interaction between RNA aptamer and RNA binding proteins, which are linked to the fragments, then we can say that our concept can be proved. The mechanism lists below:

EGFP splits into to part: EGFP-N and EGFP-C. EGFP-N is fused to MS2 while EGFP-C is fused to PP7, respectively. There is MS2 aptamer and PP7 aptamer on our circRNA scaffold, which have a 10nt length spacer. After the binding of two RBPs, their fused EGFP fragments can be dragged closer and form a complete EGFP. Then we can perform FCM(flow cytometry) to detect brightness. Our experiment included four groups, which are positive control(only transfected with plasmid which can express EGFP), negative control(transfected with nothing), experimental group(transfected with plasmids that can express EGFP-N-MS2 and EGFP-C-PP7 and circRNA scaffold 2), false positive group(transfected with plasmids that can express EGFP-N-MS2 and EGFP-C-PP7 but no circRNA), respectively. The results are as follows:
