C120-CYC

This part encodes for a truncated CYCp core promoter with C120 sequence replacing the native upstream activating sequence.

Description

800px-T--NUS_Singapore--C120-CYC_schematic.png

Usage

NLS-VP16-EL222 was expressed constitutively using the native promoter ACT1p in S.cerevisiae strain BY4741 from an episomal plasmid alongside C120-CYC upstream of the fluorescent protein mKO (Figure 1). BY4741 containing this construct was exposed to blue light as well as darkness for 6 hours, and compared to BY4741 without the construct present (Figure 2).

Design

Blue light induced activation of this promoter is dependent on simultaneous expression of an EL222 based transcription factor containing a nuclear localization sequence, and an activation domain.
