Yeast Synthetic Biology for IBD
October 15, 2021
|By Neil Macpherson
Human P2Y2 is a GPCR protein that responds to eATP. In a yeast synthetic biology circuit,, P2Y2 activates transcription of potato apyrase, which reduces eATP levels when secreted. This sense and respond circuit may reduce IBD when used in a probiotic yeast. Figure created with BioRender.com
