N2 - This paper reports a microfluidic artificial cell system integrated with protein degradation. Previous artificial cells constructed in microfluidic devices only mimicked protein production. However, protein degradation is also important to reconstitute more complex cellular systems. Here, we realized, for the first time, artificial cells on a chip that can both produce and degrade proteins by adding a protein degradation system to the previous cell-free protein expression system in microchambers. Using the developed artificial cell on a chip, an oscillatory gene circuit requiring production and degradation of proteins was demonstrated.
