Design Notes

This VP-16 was attached to a LOV-HTH optogenetic DNA binding domain, such that when the protein complex was exposed to light, and thus is able to bind DNA, the VP-16 can recruit transcription factors to the DNA and drive transcription. No changes were made to this sequence as it is already optimized for HEK293T cells.
