  • Patent number: 11697818
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pyruvate-responsive biosensor and a construction method and use thereof. In the present invention, pyruvate-responsive biosensors with different dynamic ranges are successfully constructed by optimizing the PdhR binding sequence inserted on the P43 promoter and optimizing the insertion site, wherein the minimum increase in dynamic range is by 0.6 time, and the maximum increase is by 30.7 times. The pyruvate-responsive biosensors are useful in the precise control of the expression of each gene in the cell. Since pyruvate is a key metabolite of central carbon in the cells, these biosensors are capable of dynamically regulating the expression level of intracellular genes according to changes in the content of pyruvate in the cells, thereby achieving the dynamic control of intracellular metabolic flux. The pyruvate biosensor obtained in the present invention has a good specificity, and a response range to pyruvate of 10-35 nmol/g DCW.

    Abstract: A reconfigurable PUF device based on fully electric field-controlled domain wall motion includes a voltage control layer, upper electrodes, a lower electrode, antiferromagnetic pinning layers, and a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). The MTJ includes, from bottom to top, a ferromagnetic reference layer, a potential barrier tunneling layer and a ferromagnetic free layer. In the device, an energy potential well is formed in a middle portion of the ferromagnetic free layer by applying a voltage to the voltage control layer to control magnetic anisotropy, and a current is fed into either of the upper electrodes to drive generation of the magnetic domain walls and pin the magnetic domain walls to the potential well. After the voltage is removed, the potential well is lowered so that the magnetic domain walls are in a metastable state, thereby either a high resistance state or a low resistance state is randomly obtained.

By using exogenously added malic acid as a stress, an acid-tolerant mutant S. cerevisiae strain MTPfo-4 is obtained by directed evolution screening in the laboratory, which tolerates a minimum pH of 2.44. The mutant strain MTPfo-4, tolerant to multiple organic acids, has an increased tolerance to exogenous malic acid of up to 86.6 g/L. The mutant strain MTPfo-4 obtained is further identified. The mutant strain grows stably and well, and can tolerate a variety of organic acids (lactic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, gluconic acid, and tartaric acid). It also has a strong tolerance to inorganic acids (HCl and H3PO4). This is difficult to achieve in the existing research and reports of S. cerevisiae. The strain is intended to be used as an acid-tolerant chassis cell factory for producing various short-chain organic acids.
