Blue light inducible promoter (Pblind)

Pblind is a blue light inducible promoter. It requires cells to also express EL222 (BBa_K2332004), a natural photosensitive DNA-binding protein that becomes active only upon blue-light exposure. This part consists of a fusion of the EL222 DNA binding region and the LuxI promoter. The lux box, a 20bp inverted repeat (LuxR and 3-oxo-C6-HSL complex binding region) from the luxI promoter, was replaced with the 18bp DNA binding region of EL222. In the dark, EL222 is inactive as its N-terminal LOV domain represses its DNA-binding C-terminal HTH domain. Upon blue light exposure (450nm), LOV-HTH interaction is released, allowing it to dimerize and bind its binding region, overlapping the -35 region of the luxI promoter. This ultimately results in the recruitment of RNAP and transcriptional activation.
