GI

GI is a kind of light-activated protein. If you shine blue light on it, it will change its own structure and will be able to combined with LOV.

VP16

VP16 is a transcription activation factor, also commonly used in double yeast hybrid system. It can realize the activation of downstream UAS transcription. It is usually used together with GAL4 combining domain, which can recognize and combine with UAS, to locate UAS.

2.Caution

GAL4 combining domain is universal among eukaryotic cells, but the activation factor needs to be chosen differently according to the chassis creature.
