  • Felix Ekness
    ABSTRACT A Synthetic Biology Approach to Engineering Bacterial Two- Component Systems for Sensor Development and Discovery of Anti-Virulence Agents by Felix Ekness Bacterial two-component systems (TCSs) are the largest family of signal transduction pathways that enable bacteria to sense a diversity of stimuli including small peptides, environmental pollutants, and light. Canonical TCSs are composed of a transmembrane sensor histidine kinase (SK) that converts stimulus detection into phosphorylation of a cognate response regulator (RR). Upon phosphorylation, the cytoplasmic RR binds target output promoters, hereby modulating gene expression. TCSs are valuable sensors for synthetic biology due to their diverse sensing capabilities and straightforward transduction of detected stimulus into transcriptional regulation. TCSs are also emerging targets for novel therapeutic development due to their extensive role in regulating bacterial virulence and antibiotic resistance. Although TCSs are exciting sensors for synthetic biology and targets for therapeutic applications, most TCSs remain difficult to harness for applications and study due to output promoters that are unknown, subject to cross- regulation, or silent in heterologous hosts. In the first portion of my work, I develop a method to overcome the hurdles in characterizing and utilizing TCSs as biosensors. Through the framework of synthetic biology, I demonstrate that the two largest families of RR DNA binding domains (DBDs) can be interchanged with remarkable flexibility, enabling the corresponding TCSs to be rewired to synthetic output promoters. In collaboration with Kristina Daeffler, we exploit this plasticity to eliminate cross-regulation and in collaboration with Brian Landry, we un-silence a gram-negative TCS in a gram-positive host and engineer a sensor with over 1,300-fold activation.

    MAGNESIUM AND EHLERS-DANLOS SYNDROME PART ONE: *WHY* PERSONS WITH EDS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MAGNESIUM ©2013 Heidi Collins, MD Everybody should know about magnesium. It’s just that important. “Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.” – From Magnesium Fact Sheet from the National Institutes of Health (PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ): http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Magnesium-HealthProfessional/ (Notice also the links provided at the bottom of the Fact Sheet to many of the 62 references.) What are some of the symptoms of magnesium deficiency? “Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body. With regard to skeletal muscle, one may experience twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction. Also, one may experience chest tightness or a peculiar sensation that he can't take a deep breath. Sometimes a person may sigh a lot. … Symptoms involving impaired contraction of smooth muscles include constipation; urinary spasms; menstrual cramps; difficulty swallowing or a lump in the throat-especially provoked by eating sugar; photophobia, especially difficulty adjusting to oncoming bright headlights in the absence of eye disease; and loud noise sensitivity from stapedius muscle tension in the ear. … The central nervous system is markedly affected. Symptoms include insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity and restlessness with constant movement, panic attacks, agoraphobia, and premenstrual irritability.
