The device is a functional plasmid containing a suicide gene supernova(BBa_K1491017), which is a mutant form of KillerRed(BBa_K1184000), the first genetically-encoded photosensitizer. Upon illumination, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated to induce cell apoptosis , We incorporated into our lightOFF system (BBa_K2244009) so that supernova can be induced fully in darkness and start secreting ROS upon light irradiation to promote cell death.
Biology
LEV1 repressor is a fusion protein of VVD and LexA, LexA repressor is a transcriptional repressor of SOS regulon in E.coli. It’s form chromosome of Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (strain: K-12, substrain: MG1655) LexA autocleavage, stimulated by RecA, of the first 84 aa of LexA removes the DNA binding region and is required to activate the SOS response. LexA is a protein that belongs to the LexA family . Blue light sensor VIVID was derived from the chromosome of Neurospora crassa. The LOV domain of the protein VVD has the capacity to self-dimerize upon light stimulation, Based on this property, the VVD LOV domain was fused with a smaller version of the Gal4 DNA binding domain and the p65 transactivation domain. A common feature of several blue light photoreceptors is the presence of LOV domains, which are able to bind a molecule of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) or flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as chromophore, forming upon light stimulation a cysteinyl flavin C4a adduct. Supernova is a mutant of killer red (BBa_K1184000),KillerRed is a red fluorescent protein that produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the presence of yellow-orange light (540-585 nm). KillerRed is engineered from anm2CP to be phototoxic. KillerRed is spectrally similar to mRFP1 with a similar brightness. KillerRed is oligomeric and may form large aggregates in cells. This sequence is codon optimized for mammalian cells and has 13 rare proline codons for E. coli (CCC) and one rare arginine codon (AGA). Codon optimization should be taken into consideration if large amounts of the protein are required. Expression on a high-copy plasmid has produced detectable fluorescent signal, however.
