Usage and Biology
Fusion protein of PhyB and KRAB. This fusion protein PhyB-KRAB is an interaction partner of dCas9-PIF. When crRNA and tracrRNA bind to dCas9, the protein is able to bind complementary DNA. When the system is exposed to red light (660 nm), the Phytochrome B receptor binds to the Phytochrome interaction actor (PIF). So this protein is being recruited by dCas9-PIF. The PhyB-PIF binding can be abolished by illumination with far-red light (740nm).
This system enables activation of gene expression induced by red light. For more information, have a look at our [http://2013.igem.org/Team:Freiburg/Project/induction#light light] and [http://2013.igem.org/Team:Freiburg/Project/effector#repression repression] project page.
