| + | PcpcG2 is a promoter from the genome of ''Synechocystis" sp. PCC6803. The promoter comes from Jeffrey Tabor's plasmid pJT122 plasmid, contains the entire region upstream of cpcG2 and downstream of ccaR (Tabor et al. 2011). PcpcG2 is regulated by the light-activation of ccaS/ccaR. The gene downstream to this promoter is transcribed upon activation by ccaS/ccaR, via green light. | ||

CPCG2 promoter -> TetR
This part incorporates the CpcG2 promoter from Jeff Tabor's 2010 paper "Multichromatic Control of Gene Expression in Escherichia coli" and makes it an inverter. This light regulated promoter expresses TetR in the presence of light. This part should be used in conjunction with https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1017726 to activate the light regulated plasmid, and a reporter plasmid such as https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_J70311 which is a pTet promoter a reporter protein EYFP
