Group Introduction
Research Area:
Nanobiology based on Synthetic Biology and Biophysics
Research Interests:
Transcription is the first step of gene expression and thus quite important. Our lab focuses on understanding the basic mechanism of transcription and applies the knowledge to develop novel gene expression control nano-devices. To do that, we will combine a synthetic biology approach (reconstitution of biological systems) and a biophysical approach (single molecule imaging), and will build up unique nano-chips. With the nano-chips, we will mimic the transcription system and will understand the underlying mechanism. Furthermore, we will develop autonomous nano-devices that can sense the environment, compute information and output product, allowing us the precise control of cell fate. In the future, programmable gene expression system will open the way to autonomously cure our body.
Research Achievement
In synthetic biology, the control of gene expression requires a multistep processing of biological signals. The key steps are sensing the environment, computing information and outputting products. To achieve such functions, the laborious, combinational networking of enzymes and substrate-genes is required, and to resolve problems, sophisticated design automation tools have been introduced. However, the complexity of genetic circuits remains low because it is difficult to completely avoid crosstalk between the circuits. To overcome these problems, we have combined a synthetic biology approach (EMBO J. 2010) and a biophysical approach (Nature 2015, Mol Cell 2015, 2018, 2019), making a unique nano-chip by integrating an actuator (enzyme) and sensors onto a DNA origami-based nanochip (Nature Nanotechnology 2018). This gene nanochip allows us to rationally design the chemical reaction and precise gene expression control in vitro and in vivo. Our approach to component integration on a nanochip may provide a basis for large-scale, integrated genetic circuits.
