<h1>Ingeneering M13</h1>
 
Bacteriophages play a special role in nanoscale cargo-delivery developments, because they can be regarded as naturally occurring nanomaterials. Viral nanoparticles (VNPs), in particular bacteriophages, are attractive options for cargo-delivery as they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-infectious to mammals.<ref>Czapar, A. E. & Steinmetz, N. F. Plant viruses and bacteriophages for drug delivery in medicine and biotechnology. Current Opinion in Chemical Biology 38, 108–116 (2017).</ref>
 
 
Phage systems, like M13, have been employed in biotechnological applications, most prominently in the identification and maturation of medically-relevant binding molecules through phage display. The application of phages in materials and nanotechnology is mainly due to their nanoscale size and  simple life cycles. We choose to use those application in our advantage in order to target ''Xylella fastidiosa'' and other pathogenic bacteria.
 
 
M13 is a filamentous phage that infects E. coli that carry the F-episome. Active infection with M13 does not kill the host cell. The M13 phage particle consists of a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) genome encased in approximately 2700 copies

The M13 life cycle begins with passage of the phage genome into a host cell in a process induced by protein III (pIII). After a while, as the concentrations of phage proteins increase, the protein V (pV) binds to the ssDNA genomes for packaging into progeny phages. pV recognise the single stranded M13 origin of replication. The pV-sequestered ssDNA is recognized by the membrane spanning phage assembly complex. <ref name=Smeal>Smeal, S. W., Schmitt, M. A., Pereira, R. R., Prasad, A. & Fisk, J. D.

==Protein III==
 
 
The molecular interactions that mediate the entry of ''Escherichia coli'' derived filamentous phages into their hosts have been studied in considerable detail. The 424-amino-acid protein III is thought to consist of a leader sequence and three domains, separated by glycine-rich regions, that serve distinct roles in phage entry and release. The first two pIII domains, D1 and D2, are required for M13 adsorption and entry, while the third domain D3  is required for the assembly and release of M13 particles from host.<ref name="Heilpern">Heilpern, A.

Our goal is to create a engineered M13 phage that will be specific to an other bacteria. Thus we started to look in the bibliography and in the NCBI data base, filamentous phages that were able to infect various pathogens.

D3 and the signal sequence are both the best conserved part from the attachment protein. So with protein global alignment (Needleman-Wunsch alignment), from two or three sequence at one time, we were eventually able to determinate D1 and D2.
 
 
==Phages-like particules==
 
 
Bacteriophages are capable of expressing their genomes, and generating new copies of themselves. We choose to limit the phage ability to reproduce it-self in order to contain it. As it is possible to produce recombinant viruses that express foreign proteins, it is possible to restrain their capacity to reproduce them self. <ref name= Silva>Roldão, A., Silva, A.

Virus-like particles (VLPs) are multiprotein structures that mimic the organization and conformation of authentic native viruses but lack the viral genome. They have been applied not only as prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines but also as vehicles in drug and gene delivery and, more recently, as tools in nanobiotechnology. <ref name= Silva>Roldão, A., Silva, A.

==Genomic modification of M13==
 
 
In order to engineered multiple phages to infect various pathogenes we decided to remove D1 and D2. As we wanted to insert those two domains in the p3 of the M13 genome. Thus we use M13KO7 from New England BioLab. '''M13KO7''' is an M13 derivative which carries the mutation Met40Ile in gII , with the origin of replication from P15A and the kanamycin resistance gene from Tn903 both inserted within the M13 origin of replication.
 
 
In '''M13KO7''' we manage to insert two restriction site (AvrII and BspI) which are compatible with XbaI and AgeI. Thus, we create two types of biobrick, one with the signal sequence of M13, and the other one with D1 and D2 of another p3 from another filamentous phages.

In our design we wanted to keep the signal sequence and D3 of M13, because their are crucial for the formation of the phage. We just want to insert D1 and D2 from another phages (we’ll call it X).

==Signal sequence==
 
The signal sequence is crucial for the excretion of p3 in the periplasm.<ref name="Heilpern">Heilpern, A. J. & Waldor, M. K. pIIICTX, a predicted CTXphi minor coat protein, can expand the host range of coliphage fd to include Vibrio cholerae. J. Bacteriol. 185, 1037–1044 (2003).</ref> As we remove it with our construction, we must put another one. We choose to use the one coming from M13 as we use E. coli to produce our phage. In order to be functional, the signal peptide must be cut down from the rest of the protein. Thus, we must add the cleavage site. Using the logiciel SignalP 4.1, we saw that the cleavage is made between the alanine and the glutamate.
 
 
[[File:T--Aix-Marseille--M13pIII-explication-7.jpeg|500px]]
 
 
In order to gain flexibility, which will help the enzyme to cleave the signal sequence, we add two glycine and one serine residue. Which we retrotranslate, with the codon biais of E. coli K12.
 
 
The signal sequence and D1-D2 sequence are designed to make fusion protein, thus we choose to make them Freiburg assembly standard with Rfc25 prefix and sufix. This will be helpful in order to assemble our biobrick.
