pDawn system

The plasmids pDawn for light-activated gene expression. Basically, the YF1/FixJ drives gene expression from the pFixK2 promoter in a blue-light repressed manner. When we insert the λ phage repressor cI and the λ promoter pR in pDawn, this will invert the signal polarity and lead to the gene expression. The histidine kinase YF1 employs a light oxygen voltage blue light photosensor domain. In the absence of blue light, YF1 phosphorylate the regulator FixJ which induces gene expression from the FixK2 promoter. The opposite happens with pDawn.

Design Notes

The original sequence of pDawn have some illegal sites that have been removed.

Penn iGEM 2015 characterized the pDawn system as a light-sensitive receiver in its light-mediated cell communication system. With mRFP cloned downstream of the light-responsive promoter, the system's light-mediated gene expression was confirmed. Furthermore, the system was activated using small amount of artificial light produced with an LED. These small amounts reflect the intensity of light output from luminescent sender cells. For additonal information, follow this link: http://2015.igem.org/Team:Penn/Receiver.

The pDawn & pDusk system, have been optimized and constructed in the way that the toxins sequences we introduce in our construction are in fact the reverse sequences.
