[イベント]第111回C-Bioセミナー（植物分子農学シリーズ）を開催します(6/12)

 Arrangements of electrical components that work as logic gate circuits to process signals and allow electronic devices to function have brought us to the digital era. The same concepts have long been used in organisms since the beginning of life. Organisms maintain metabolisms through a chain of complex biochemical reactions processed by molecular components such as genes and protein networks. However, synthetic molecular components are needed to finetune biological phenomena through biotechnology approaches. Therefore, a clear understanding of how organisms respond to endogenous and exogenous signals at the molecular level is needed to shed our ways to finetune them to our needs. In this talk, I would like to share my experience looking for clues to identify and develop the molecular components to act differently for biotechnology purposes. I will discuss my previous research in elucidating the regulation mechanism of the key-regulatory enzyme of a metabolic pathway in the plant; how to exemplify the knowledge to aid a gene finding that produces rare compounds; and strategies to produce a high-value compound in a heterologous host. I will also discuss my recent research on developing a novel synthetic regulatory circuit in plants, which acts as an additional molecular tool for plant science in the era of synthetic biology. By carefully designing the arrangements of molecular components, we may reprogram biological functions, which brings us closer to achieving sustainability by design.
