Introduction to Protein Synthetic Biology

The accuracy of protein synthesis and the stability of cellular proteomes play an essential role in cell viability. Among the various biological building blocks, proteins are the most versatile macromolecules. Protein engineering has already been a well-established field with a wide range of applications in industry and biomedicine. However, the versatility, dynamics, and interactions of proteins also complicate system engineering. The design of more sophisticated protein systems appears somewhat delayed compared to the engineering of gene regulatory networks. Because of this, synthetic biologists have begun tinkering with the information flow through integrated protein switches. Most successful experimental strategies have focused on modular interactions between protein domains and peptide motifs. A solid mechanistic biochemical understanding of the synthetic process is required to engineering the protein synthesis machinery. Expanding the genetic code for the synthesis of proteins containing non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) is becoming a rapidly growing area in synthetic biology.

Researchers have long been studying the structure, function, interactions, and chemistry of proteins, and have gained a growing body of experience in protein design and engineering. Recent studies have jumped from the manipulation of individual proteins to the design of larger assemblies or protein networks/systems that combine different functions. Known protein sequences and structures, modulable molecular dynamics and reactions, and measurable rate and equilibrium constants all contribute to protein circuit engineering in vitro. Protein circuits could have a huge impact on the way we understand life. Synthetic multicomponent protein systems may also turn out to be valuable research tools.
