Introduction

Our construct contains the standardized version of dCas9 linked to PIF6. This device is one of two parts that you need to enable red-light induced gene targeting. Cotransfection of a PhyB+effector (activation, repression or epigenetical repression) device and target RNA makes it possilbe to recruit any desired effector to your desired gene locus. Illumination with red light (660nm) will start the interaction and illumination with far red light (740nm) will stop the interaction. The here used, mutated Cas9-version is human codon optimized and unable to cleave DNA. PIF6 is human codon-optimized, too. For more information and experimental data have a look at our [http://2013.igem.org/Team:Freiburg/Project/induction#light light project page].
