VP16 or trans-activating tegument protein 16, is a viral protein sourced from human herpes simplex virus. VP16 promotes a number of human transcription factors and acts as an activator to drive downstream gene transcription.

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.
