Characterization of a Thermal

Actuator and Calcium-Sensitive Reporter in

Saccharomyces cerevisiae
















Project Description


Our current work was inspired by the ability of a thermosensitive ion channel, known as TRPV1, to import calcium into the cell in response to temperature changes. This process could one day be used to provide a method of In-Silico control of genetic circuits in synthetic biology. Our project explores the characterization of a calcium-sensitive reporter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae to monitor gene expression levels in a range of temperatures.

Project Aims


- For aim 1, we will use eGFP tagged TRPV1 to confirm expression and localization.
- For aim 2, we will use calcium imaging to confirm functionality of TRPV1.
- For aim 3, we will determine conditions of reporter expression with and without TRPV1 expression.
