This UVR8 receptor is fused to Cas9. When crRNA and tracrRNA bind to Cas9, the protein is able to bind complementary DNA. If the system is exposed to UVB light (311 nm), the UVR8 receptor changes its configuration and recruits COP1 with its fused effector domain. Depending on which effector, gene expression can be activated or repressed on light stimulus.
Biology and Usage
Ultraviolet B (UVB) light can be perceived with photoreceptor UV resistance Locus 8 (UVR8) [1]. The receptor reacts best to light of the wavelenght 311 nm. UVR8 is fused to dCas9 with a short linker in between. Together with COP1, fused to an effector, it is possible to regulate gene expression by light induction.
In the absence of UVB light UVR8 forms homodimers. This is its closed configuration. When UVB light is perceived, UVR8 monomerizes and changes into its open configuration. UVR8 is then able to recruit COP1 [2]. This interaction is disrupted when UVB radiation stops. COP1 can be fused to different effectors such as COP1-VP16 or COP1-KRAB
Freiburg 2013 engineered a UVB light induced mechanism to activate or repress gene expression. You need a combination of these BioBricks: Cas9-UVR8, COP1-VP16 / COP1-KRAB / COP1-G9a, RNaimer
