Optogenetics, a novel technology that allows temporal and spatial induction of gene expression by the
+
-
use of light, is of growing importance for fundamental research and clinical applications. However, its
+
-
biggest limitation is the time consuming introduction of transgenes into organisms or cell lines. In
+
-
contrast, easy but unspecific gene delivery can be achieved by viral vectors. We, the iGEM Team
+
-
Freiburg 2014, combine the advantages of both approaches – the temporal and spatial resolution of
+
-
optogenetics, and the simplicity of gene transfer offered by viruses. To this end we designed a system
+
-
where the entry of a virus is enabled or prevented by exposing the target cells to light of distinct
+
-
wavelengths.
+
-
<br />
+
-
<br />
+
-
The ecotropic murine leukemia virus (MuLV) is a retroviral vector which enters a cell by binding to the
+
-
cationic amino acid transporter (CAT-1). CAT-1 is present in cells of all mammals, but displays a high
+
-
variability between different species in the third extracellular loop, which is the recognition sequence
+
-
for the virus. Therefore, even close relatives of mice, e.g. rats or hamsters, are immune to the MuLV,
+
-
but upon exogenous expression of murine CAT-1, cell lines from these species can also be infected.
+
-
Hence we use the popular Chinese hamster ovary cell line CHO in our experiments.
+
-
<br />
+
-
<br />
+
-
For optogenetic targeting of specific subsets of cells, we employ three different systems: a red/far-red
+
-
light system and a UVB light system based on proteins from the plant model organism Arabidopsis
+
-
thaliana as well as a light-oxygen-voltage system from the marine bacterium Erythrobacter litoralis. In
+
-
all three light systems gene expression is induced by recruitment of engineered transcription factors to
+
-
DNA.
+
-
<br />
+
-
<br />
+
-
Without illumination the cells are in a dormant state and cannot be infected by the viral vector. Upon
+
-
exposure to the appropriate wavelength, they start expressing the viral entry receptor CAT-1. Addition
+
-
of the viral vector to the culture medium leads to infection of the activated subset of cells.
+
-
In order to demonstrate the functionality of the specific gene delivery we developed a device for
+
-
secure communication. The device is working in a two-step process: First, the sender has to specify
+
-
the subset of cells by illumination through a patterned mask. In the second step, upon receiving the
+
-
device the reader has to visualize the message by adding the appropriate viral vector containing a
+
-
reporter gene. The unintended opening of the device by an unaware third person results in a complete
+
-
illumination of the cells leading to the destruction of the message. The time gap between sending and
+
-
receiving the device is limited by the half-life of the receptor, thus creating an additional safety level.
+
-
To expand into the field of medicine, we furthermore chose CRISPR/Cas as a gene cargo.
+
-
<br />
+
-
<br />
+
-
CRISPR/Cas has attracted much attention in recent past, as it facilitates specific gene editing, e.g.
+
-
knock-outs/ins, with high specifity in a minimum of time. In combination with delivery by viral vectors
+
-
this could provide a powerful tool for the treatment of diseases and genetic disorders in vivo.</h3>
