Engineering metabolite-responsive transcriptional factors to sense small molecules in eukaryotes: current state and perspectives

Abstract Nature has evolved exquisite sensing mechanisms to detect cellular and environmental signals surrounding living organisms. These biosensors have been widely used to sense small molecules, detect environmental cues and diagnose disease markers. Metabolic engineers and synthetic biologists ha...
