The fusion protein COP1-VP16 is an interaction partner of [https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1150029 dCas9-UVR8]. It's a part of the UVB light controlled mechanism to activate gene expression. First the dCas9-UVR8 fusion protein binds specifically to a DNA target sequence. If the system is exposed to UVB light (311 nm), the UVR8 receptor of UV changes its configuration and recruits this COP1-VP16 protein. This activates gene expression induced by UVB light. Have a look at our [http://2013.igem.org/Team:Freiburg/Project/induction#light light project page].

The fusion protein COP1-VP16 is an interaction partner of dCas9-UVR8. It's a part of the UVB light controlled mechanism to activate gene expression. First the dCas9-UVR8 fusion protein binds specifically to a DNA target sequence. If the system is exposed to UVB light (311 nm), the UVR8 receptor of UV changes its configuration and recruits this COP1-VP16 protein. This activates gene expression induced by UVB light.

Biology and Usage

E3-ubiquitin ligase Constitutively Photomorphogenic 1 (COP1) is the interaction partner of ultraviolet B (UVB) light receptor UVR8 [1]. When UVB light is perceived by the UVR8 photoreceptor it monomerizes and therefore changes in its open confuguration. Not till then it recruits COP1. For this UVB light controled gene activation system you need a combination of these BioBricks: dCas9-UVR8, COP1-VP16 and RNAimer.

The HEK293T-cells were transfected with plasmids containig dCas9-UVR8, this plasmid containing COP1-VP16, the RNAimer target plasmid and a SEAP-reporter plasmid. The bars on the left side show SEAP levels of the negative control that was transfected without the targeting plasmid (RNAimer). Medium was changed 5h post PEI transfection. Cells were illuminated with UVB light (311nm, 5uE) for 24h. After illumination a SEAP-assay was performed.

Violet bars show cell-samples illuminated with activating UVB light, white bars show samples that were kept in darkness. Error bars show standard deviation of biological triplicates. A two-fold increase of SEAP-level after illumination can be observed, if the target plasmid is present.
