Applications of BBa_M50102
We used the optogenetic transcription factor EL-222 to drive transcription of this construct. We also attached a p2A DasherGFP at the end of this construct to infer transcription/expression activity. Note that the preproinsulin was modified to include a 6xHis Tag.
Cells were transfected with these DNA constructs using Lipofectamine 3000 Reagent, Opti-MEM media, and P3000 (Thermo Fisher). Dual transfections with a maximum of 2μg of total DNA were added to each well at varying ratios of EL222 to C120-Insulin. Controls included single single transfections of EL222, C120-Insulin, GFP positive control (pHela), and a mock transfection. 24 hours post-transfection, fresh DMEM media was added. Effective transfection of pVP-EL222 was confirmed via microscopy. Light stimulation was then initiated for 24 hrs (465 nm, 8W/m^2,20s on-60s off continuous loop). Cells were kept at 37℃ and 5% CO2 during illumination.
We observed minimal GFP expression following 6 hrs of blue light exposure according to flow cytometry.

We were able to observe GFP from this construct, although expression was relatively inefficient. We think that this may be related to
GFP is also leaky at relatively high amounts of this construct (> 1ug DNA) following 24 hrs of light.
