This toehold switch can act as a riboregulator to inhibit translation until both micro-RNA 210-3p and 517-5p are present. Both of these microRNAs bind to an anti-miRNA (part BBa_K3905007) which forms a complex that presents both target microRNAs as a trigger to the toehold switch. This triggers the toehold switch to unravel, exposing the RBS and start codon, allowing translation of a protein. This protein should be a reporter protein so that the activity of the toehold switch can be detected and presence of the microRNAs can be confirmed.

gen3 210-3p-517-5p AND-Gate Toehold Switch

This toehold switch can act as a riboregulator to inhibit translation until both micro-RNA 210-3p and 517-5p are present. Both of these microRNAs bind to an anti-miRNA (part BBa_K3905007) which forms a complex that presents both target microRNAs as a trigger to the toehold switch. This triggers the toehold switch to unravel, exposing the RBS and start codon, allowing translation of a protein. This protein should be a reporter protein so that the activity of the toehold switch can be detected and presence of the microRNAs can be confirmed.
