<h2> Background of our Project </h2>
+
−
<p> This year, we are focusing on the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae, which is currently used as a biological control agent for different arthropods. However, its uses has been limited by poor efficacy. That is why many experts genetically engineered various M. anisopliae strains in order to improve its virulence. While genetic engineering is a great way to improve upon what mother nature has given us, biosafety has always been a big problem with genetic engineered organisms. For this reason, we hope to build a biosafety system, which includes one optogenetic module and one kill switch, to limit the persistence of our genetically engineered fungus in the environment. </p>
+
−
<p> </p>
+
−
<p> In our biosafety system, our design consists of an optogenetic module and a kill switch. We used the optogenetic system VP-EL222 which containing the VP-EL222 genes and a promoter that activated by the VP-EL222 proteins blue light inducible dimerization and DNA binding. We only want the kill switch to be induced when the fungi have already killed the insect. To achieve this, we put VP-EL222 under the control of the hemolymph-induced promoter, Pmcl1. This allows the production of VP-EL222 proteins in the darkness of the insects’ interior. The fungus will breach the the dead host’s cuticle from inside after killing its host and expose to blue light, then lethality can be induced by built-in killswitch, which will be activated when the light-inducible promoter drives the expression of the proteins in the kill switch system due to VP-EL222 dimerization and the DNA binding.</P>
+
−
<p> </p>
+
−
<p> When it comes to the kill switch, we employ a simple, versatile, and filamentous-fungi-specific CRISPR/Cas9 system developed by the authors of the 2015 paper “A CRISPR-Cas9 System for Genetic Engineering of Filamentous Fungi.” Because virtually any gene can be targeted by RNA-guided Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9, we target several genes that could disrupt the life cycle and reduce the survivability of the genetic engineered M. anisopliae. Two of our target genes, MrPHR1 and MrPHR2, encodes photolyases in Metarhizium. Removing them will seize the production of UV-induced cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPD) and pyrimidine (6-4) photoproducts [(6-4) PPs]. The effect is supported by 2012 paper “Enhanced UV Resistance and Improved Killing of Malaria Mosquitoes by Photolyase Transgenic Entomopathogenic Fungi” which shows that deleting native photolyase genes will strictly contain M. robertsii to areas protected from sunlight, alleviating safety concerns that transgenic hypervirulent Metarhizium spp. (We will blast the same genes in the M.anisopliae strain’s genome.) </p>

<h5> Styling your wiki </h5>
+
−
<p>You may style this page as you like or you can simply leave the style as it is. You can easily keep the styling and edit the content of these default wiki pages with your project information and completely fulfill the requirement to document your project.</p>
+
−
<p>While you may not win Best Wiki with this styling, your team is still eligible for all other awards. This default wiki meets the requirements, it improves navigability and ease of use for visitors, and you should not feel it is necessary to style beyond what has been provided.</p>
