uniCAS Red Light Switch Part II - Activator

uniCAS red Light Switch Part II - Activator
Function	Activation domain of red light induced gene expression control
Use in	Mammalian cells
RFC standard	RFC 25
Backbone	pSB1C3
Submitted by	[http://2013.igem.org/Team:Freiburg Freiburg 2013]

Usage and Biology

Fusion protein of [[1]] and [[2]]. This fusion protein PhyB-VP16 is an interaction partner of [[3]]. When crRNA and tracrRNA bind to Cas9, the protein is able to bind complementary DNA. When the system is exposed to red light (660 nm), the Phytochrome B receptor binds to the Phytochrome interaction actor (PIF). So it recruits the [[4]] protein. The PhyB-PIF binding can be abolished by illumination with far-red light (740nm.) This system enables activation of gene expression induced by red light.
