cod1 + pMag
A fusion protein of pMagFast and Cod1, which linked by GS linker.
Assembly Compatibility:
- 10COMPATIBLE WITH RFC[10]

Design Notes
In order to prevent the fusion protein has steric hindrance, We use a 12aa GS linker to link the light-induced dimerization protein with a part of dCas9, which split by a conventional strategy. According to the paper, this conventional strategy is effective by rapamycin induced.
Source
The light-induced protein pMagFast is made from the VVD protein family derived from the fungus Neurospora crassa. The cod1 is made from the dCas9 Protein derived from the Streptococcus pyogenes.
