kanzurefenn: i think i have it, although it doesn't lookk exactly like what you want02:18
kanzurefirst, the most general approach is to use directed evolution by exposing cells to the conditions of oligonucleotide synthesis or something similar to it02:19
kanzureand those cells that increse yield will be the ones that you decide to keep for the next round02:19
kanzurewhich is quite similar to what you would be doing with enzymes anyway, except in a much more convenient package02:19
kanzuresecond, something about cell surface display of oligonucleotide-modifying enzymes, and then a collection of different cell types that you choose from for each step02:20
kanzureneither of these two strategies require a huge leap in rational design of protein or any other sort of magic02:21
kanzurealthough incorporating ration protein design guesses may speed along the process.... especially combinatorial mutation libraries related to cell surface display or something..02:22
kanzurealso, the cells do not need to come up with a solution related to surface display02:23

fennbbrittain: i'm also building a laptop, but i started with a "lapdock" that has input ports, keyboard, battery09:39
kanzurefenn: thoughts about my surface display directed evolution plan?09:40
fenni havent figured out power management though.. 19V is kinda annoying09:40
fennkanzure: why surface?09:40
kanzurebecause you can do stepwise "chemistry"09:41
kanzureby physically removing the cells09:41
kanzureand inserting another cell with other surface display stuff09:41
kanzurethe cells that help improve yield will over time be selected more than those cells that do not help yield09:41
fennand you need 4^3 different cell types?09:42
kanzureone nucleotide at a time, so three cell lines at minimum09:43
fennnot four?09:43
kanzureoh yeah09:43
kanzurefour... fine.09:43
kanzurewell, you might also need capping/decapping, but hopefully you can coerce the cell lines into doing that for you09:44
fennso these are just fancy bead-bound enzymes09:44
kanzureyeah, except they are self-replicating bead-bound enzymes09:44
fennyou could add magnetite genes for extra magic points09:44
kanzurethey are self-replicating bead-bound enzymes that you don't have to sequence and re-synthesize after every time you find one doing something interesting09:45
kanzureinstead you just don't flush it away into garbage09:45
fennhow do you make sure they only add one nucleotide at a time?09:45
kanzureyou don't09:45
kanzureyou could start with oligonucleotide synthesis, and just "add cells"09:46
fennAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA09:46
kanzurethose cells which make the reaction have higher yield are the cells that you decide to keep, and the others you flush09:46
fennsure but eventually you want to make a specific sequence09:46
kanzureso, let's say you have some cells that help with the yield just a little bit09:47
kanzureover time you would select for those cells that help improve yield and also continue to do so in the presence of a diminishing supply of the chemical inputs09:47
fennthis sounds difficult to select for, but continue09:48
kanzurewell it's easier to select than "find me a protein that responds correctly to all forms of light stimulation" since there's no known way to get from "light shining on a protein" to "correctly incorporating nucleotides and synthesizing a genome"09:48
kanzureanyway, each cell line will be evolved to (1) help decap and (2) help add a new nucleotide (specific to the cell line)09:49
fennmaybe easier to do deprotection with chemistry09:50
kanzuresure09:50
fennor have 5 cell types09:50
fennchemistry is faster since you can wash and deprotect at the same time09:50
kanzureno you can't?09:50
fennok maybe not09:51
fennhow about thermal deprotection09:51
fennkills the enzyme at a lower temperature than the deprotection chemistry09:51
fennthen just keep adding stuff and zapping it09:52
kanzureshrug, whatever09:52
fennanyway the chemistry will need to be designed before doing lots of selection/evolution work09:52
kanzurecertainly09:53
kanzurein general i think that using cells is going to be easier than using enzymes directly09:53
kanzurebecause with enzymes you don't have an easy way to get the sequence that generated that enzyme09:54
kanzurewhereas cells are self-contained genome packages09:54

fennyeah there's also protein-bound mRNA09:54
kanzureeh..09:54
* fenn shrugs09:54
kanzurethen you have to sequence the mrna09:54
kanzureand find what dna was responsible for that mrna09:55
kanzureand enzyme purification....09:55
kanzurei'm not sure what cell/dna interactions are like, they might release nucleases that cut up dna09:56
kanzurein which case you would first have to run some selection projects to get cells that er, don't do that09:56
-!- AmbulatoryCortex [~Ambulator@173-31-9-188.client.mchsi.com] has joined ##hplusroadmap09:58
kanzurei haven't really seen anything like "take a chemical process and just add cells and see which cells make the reaction better" before09:58
kanzurewhich i am a little suspicious about09:58
kanzurebecause people do that with enzymes.... so why not cells?09:58
kanzurei think people have been randomly testing enzymes in random chemical reactions to see how the enzymes work09:59

-!- FBI is now known as night10:01
fennbecause most enzymes are not secreted by the cell10:07
kanzurethat's true, but that's the cell's problem, not mine10:08
kanzurethe cells which are more secretional will be selected for more than the other types10:08
kanzureor those cells with more protein structures on their surface that help with the reaction will be selected more than the other cells10:09
kanzureonce you have those five cell types, you could then work on getting ones that can incorporate different nucleotides based on the presence of certain light signals. this could also involve some rational engineering of some proteins, if the mechanism that the cells are using is known/discovered.. and then over time you can select for a cell type that can respond to light correctly for discrimination between two possible nucleotides, and ...10:10
kanzure... then a third, and finally a fourth light signal...10:10
kanzurelight is ideal but in the mean time just being able to mechanically move the cells into position is probalby fine10:10
kanzure*probably10:11
kanzurethe cells might find some local optima that cannot be easily rationally protein engineered to include conformational changes in response to light, e.g. might be multiple proteins or expression factors all at once, in which case you're a little bit screwed (maybe just keep running the experiment until a batch of cells is doing it using a single enzyme rather than multiple factors)10:12
kanzurebut if you have these cells doing their jobs very efficiently then you might not need light anyway....10:12

chris_99plus some h-bridge modules for it11:39
nmz787hmm, doesn't seem like a terrible price11:41

chris_99cool11:42
-!- Viper168 [~Viper@unaffiliated/viper168] has joined ##hplusroadmap11:42
nmz787they're kind neat, not what I thought... they're more like electrically-controlled pneumatic amplifiers... as they use the solenoid coil to open a small valve which let's your compressed air through, which then pushes a piston to switch the valve state (the piston is springloaded so when you turn off the coil, the air pressure behind the piston leaks through a small bleeder hole, and the spring pushes the piston back to the other position)11:43
chris_99whatcha using them for?11:44

kanzurenmz787: any opinions about the idea regarding directed evolution of extracellular cell-assisted oligonucleotide synthesis?12:26
kanzuresee top of logs of http://gnusha.org/logs/2015-01-11.log12:27
kanzureyashgaroth: i guess you too12:28
yashgarothI'm guessing this would be with TdT-based synthesis?12:40
yashgaroth"<fenn> AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" mostly covers it12:43
nmz787kanzure: I read your comments in today's log, I didn't make much sense of it really12:43
nmz787heading out12:44
kanzureyashgaroth: actually i have no idea12:45
kanzureyashgaroth: frankly i don't strongly care how the cells do it, as long as they help somehow overtime12:46
bbrittainnmz787: I'm not a "cad person", but when I searched for tools during this project, what spoke to me was OpenSCAD12:46
kanzureyashgaroth: cells that are more helpful to oligonucleotide synthesis are more likely to be kept around by me, while i flush the less useful critters.12:46
yashgarothdirected evolution has a lot of foibles, I guess...cells are assholes so they're constantly trying to eat and/or degrade anything in their environment, but they're also annoyingly fragile, even moreso when you're applying a mutagen or w/e to speed up the evolution12:50
kanzureright... first task might be "get cells that do not degrade dna"12:50
kanzureer, and do not degrade oligos12:51
kanzureyou can probably select for this too12:51
kanzureput some cells in with oligos, run gels12:51
kanzureshorter oligos than when you started means the cells are killingz the oligos12:52
yashgarotherm theoretically yes12:53
yashgarothit'd just be an enormous undertaking I guess12:54
kanzureelaborate on enormoose?12:55
yashgarothwell, either pressure-selecting cells that don't degrade your oligos, or modifying them to remove nucleases, keeping the whole thing sterile, what kind of cells you're using and the difficulty in growing them and displaying the enzymes you want, selection of said enzymes, mutation of those enzymes, in all likelihood introducing cells in has a far greater chance of making things go wrong12:57
kanzurepresumably in the case of using cells, you wouldn't necessarily know which enzymes they come up with12:58
kanzurewithout studying the results later12:58
kanzureso you might just apply random mutagenesis if you had to 0~you might not have to though1~12:58
AmbulatoryCortexhow would you actually apply selection pressure to produce a certain enzyme, though?12:59
kanzureyou aren't13:00
kanzurei don't care if they use enzymes or not13:00
kanzureit could just be some other byproduct for all i care13:00
AmbulatoryCortexwell, same deal applies13:01
AmbulatoryCortexit's advantageous for them to eat dna, how would you change that?13:01
AmbulatoryCortexput in poison dna, maybe?13:01
AmbulatoryCortexbut what would that be?13:02
yashgarothchemo drugs, technically13:02
yashgarothwhat about some directed evolution on TdT to get it to recognize the protected dNTPs, also work better at directed synthesis13:04
yashgarothI know I have my concerns about the TdT stuff but if aqueous synthesis makes microfluidics a lot easier, it's a hell of a lot easier than anything with cells13:05
kanzurehmm, yes i think my cell proposal would work better with aqueous lifeforms13:20
yashgarothI mean TdT being easier than cells in general, but yes aqueous tends to be more hospitable to both13:22
kanzurebuuuut13:23
kanzurethe tdt thing requires specific magic engineering right?13:23
kanzurewhereas cell selection requires a billion cells and microfluidics automatically checking them maybe13:23
yashgaroththe magic would be to make it resistant to boiling like the cooper union people want; I just mean in general to make it more accurate/better processivity/etc13:26
kanzureoh then yes that is a million times easier13:26
kanzurewell, wait13:26
kanzureno... you still have to trace the tdt back to which cell / genome / mRNA / DNA produced it...13:26
yashgarothyeah but that's fairly standard art, dna display or whatevs13:28
kanzurespeaking of which, i bet you could find a more stable tdt by searching some database and looking for extremophiles then diffing the residues to see wtf is different 0~if anything1~ in the different tdts13:28
kanzurebut isn't dna display a lot of work13:28
kanzureespecially the recovery process?13:28
kanzureand how do you know which tdt was working better13:29
kanzurejust the ones that weren't degraded? :/13:29
yashgarothI doubt there's any TdT homolog present in lower lifeforms, since it's for immune diversity13:29
kanzurewhat's the process for reading the dna tags? just sequence and any sequences you get back you know were related? 0~also why wouold these tags not interfere with tdt function?1~13:30
kanzureargh my keyboard is not giving me parens... i think it's my terminal or something, actually.13:30
yashgarothwell ideally you'd be recycling the protein in each well, otherwise you'd have to make a lot more, but it's not a huge problem13:30

yashgarothdna display is a lot less developed than phage display, but you can get one clone per well pretty easy13:30
kanzureok so identification by wells.. then do a 1024x1024 plate.. hrm.13:30
-!- thesnark is now known as narwh4l13:30
kanzureso you have to produce 1024x1024 different strains upfront?13:31
kanzurei guess i should look into the actual efforts required for mRNA/sDNA TAGGINGDFDF DDSSDFGDFAD ~~~13:32
yashgarothhowever many you want I guess, I mean if cambrian's single-bead synthesis actually works you can scale that to get one clone per well13:32
yashgarothuhhhh13:32
kanzuresorry.. keyboard problems.13:33
yashgarothI figured that or seizure13:33
kanzurea little bit of all three columns13:33
kanzurewhat are the limits of mRNA/DNA tags on proteins?13:34
kanzurelike how long can these sequences be? can they be the full sequence 0~so that one-pot can work1~?13:34
kanzuregah still no parens?13:34

yashgarothI think so, haven't really looked into specific use cases13:35
kanzurei imagine it may be similar to antibody selection things13:35
kanzureantibody plates.. there are antibody plates, right?13:35
kanzureah right you don't need to know their sequences, nevermind13:36
yashgarothit's a lot more hassle than just finding strong antibody binders, which is what display tech is really designed for, but actually you don't really need to display per se13:39
yashgarothjust throw microfluidics in there somehow, done13:40
kanzureperfect13:41
kanzurei'll fax you your nobel prize later today, please have your phone line unoccopied13:41
kanzure*unoccupied13:42
kanzureer, which specific display technique is the mRNA/ssDNA one called?13:43
kanzure.wik mRNA display13:43
yoleaux"mRNA display is a display technique used for in vitro protein, and/or peptide evolution to create molecules that can bind to a desired target." — http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRNA_display13:43
yashgaroth^13:43
yashgarothwith this it'd be more seeding ~1 mutated copy per well, let pcr do some work, then add cell-free ribosome stuff13:44
kanzure"The process results in translated peptides or proteins that are associated with their mRNA progenitor via a puromycin linkage"13:45
kanzure"Puromycin is an antibiotic that is a protein synthesis inhibitor by inhibiting translation."13:46
kanzure"Also of note, puromycin is critical in mRNA display. In this reaction, a puromycin molecule is chemically attached to the end of an mRNA template, which is then translated into protein. The puromycin can then form a covalent link to the growing peptide chain allowing the mRNA to be physically linked to its translational product."13:46
kanzurei thought amino acid sequences go out of a pore different from the mRNA exit pore13:47
yashgarothI imagine it happens at the interface13:48
kanzuremRNA display and ribosome display overview http://www.bioc.uzh.ch/plueckthun/pdf/APpub0250.pdf13:58
kanzurebottom of page 13 has some speculation about how mRNA display works14:02
kanzure"In mRNA display, the purification of protein – puromycin –DNA –mRNA adduct from the ribosome presents a topological puzzle. After translation, the protein folds outside of the ribosomal tunnel to a globular domain. At the other end of the tunnel, the puromycin –mRNA/DNA reagent reacts with the polypeptide. Thus a folded domain sits at one end of the tunnel, while the long mRNA/DNA is connected to the peptide at the other end. ...14:03
kanzure... Whereas the purification is performed under conditions expected to dissociate the ribosome, no direct evidence is yet available that an ‘‘opening’’ of the tunnel takes place. Alternative explanations are that (i) the mRNA/DNA passes through the protein exit tunnel, or (ii) the protein denatures and goes ‘‘backwards’’ through the tunnel. If such denaturation of the displayed protein is required, that might limit the ...14:03
kanzure... application of mRNA display to proteins with robust refolding properties."14:03
kanzure"An interesting recent development are the so-called antibody mimics, proteins not closely related to antibodies that are designed to perform the antibody function of tight and specific target binding. A fibronectin type III domain, which has an immunoglobulin-like fold but is considerably smaller than a VH domain, was used to make mRNA-display libraries with diversity concentrated in three exposed loops; after selection Fn3-like domains ...14:06
kanzure... with affinities as low as 20 pM were selected. An alternative approach employs proteins larger than antibody domains: ankyrins, proteins containing several repeats, have been used to create libraries with extensive randomized surfaces, and were subjected to ribosome-display selection to obtain high-affinity reagents. Without affinity maturation, low nanomolar KD values are normally obtained directly, leaving room for significant ...14:06
kanzure... affinity improvement. Neither Fn3 domains nor ankyrins contain free cysteines or disulfide bonds; as a consequence, they perform better than most antibody fragments in bacterial expression and can be used under both oxidizing and reducing conditions. We anticipate that in-vitro-selected antibody mimics and antibody domains will become invaluable tools in proteomic research, as well as in biotechnology and in medical applications."14:06

kanzurethose seem to be called "ankyrin repeat (AR) proteins"14:09
kanzurei'm glad someone tried that out14:09
kanzureyou can just maximize surface area and surface binding variation per protein and then when you find something that works, just stress for deletions that don't delete the function you're interested in14:11
kanzureand then you magically get a smaller protein with that single (or a few) surface recognition sites14:11
kanzurewell... fewer.14:11
