The BAITswitch

The Bioorthoginal Auxin Induceable Trigger Switch

Project Results

After a long awaited summer of reading different research papers and pursuing different possible circuits that we could develop; the possibility of the BAITSwitch was able to come to life. With the summer of 2014 being filled with countless hours of perfecting research techniques and discussing ways to improve our system, we went to the edge and back. Pushing science to its limits and attempting to solve complex problems which arose in the blink of an eye. From competing in a city wide competition to promoting the iGEM name though out the community, we were able to grow as a group and individuals.
While we have completed many preliminary experiments and control (as seen on our pages: The Auxin System and The Coronatine System), we are in the process of collecting data from our pathways and repeating experiments to show the most accurate results. We look forward to sharing this data with all of the other iGEM teams in Boston and hope to see you at our presentation!

Predictions

Future Predictions

As seen above, we predict that when auxin is added to a yeast strain that contains Tir1 and IAA-tagged GFP, we will see the amount of GFP to rapidly decrease. With this in mind, it is possible that we will not see the amount of GFP decrease in the system that contains Coi1 and the IAAtagged GFP.
Furthermore, predict that with varying amounts of Auxin added to the appropriate system, we will also see a difference in the amount of GFP degraded within time. As we add higher amounts of Auxin to a yeast strain that contains Tir1 and IAA-tagged GFP, we will see the amount of GFP decrease even more rapidly. Furthermore, the system can work in parallel with the Coronatine system. Here when Coronatine is added to a system containing Tir1 and the IAA-tagged GFP, we should see the same effects of as the Auxin system.
