| Research Abstract |
It is important to develop a method that controls gene expression dependent on intracellular environment.In synthetic biology field, researchers aim to understand life and develop new biotechnologies through the process of designing and constructing biomolecules and biological systems. However, designing functional biomolecules and systems to control cell function has remained a challenge. In this study, we designed synthetic "RNA switches" that detect specific proteins expressed in cells and control expression of target genes. As a result, we generated several RNA switches that function in mammalian cells (Nucleic Acids Res. 40:9369, 2012, Nucleic Acids Res. 41:e135, 2013, Nature Commun. 4:2393,2013).
