Research

Compared to chemical induction, the light induction is more fine-tuned and spatial controllable. In order to achieve blue-light induction, we replace the arabinose binding and dimerization domain with blue-light responsive VVD domain, generating VVD-AraC fusion protein, which will dimerization under light and promote the downstream PBAD promoter.

Build

According to our design, the AraC and ParaBAD genes of the Arabinose induction and regulation system from Escherichia coli and the vivid gene from Streptomyces were synthesized respectively. eSD was added as the ribosome binding site. The synthetic genes were amplified by PCR, and the gene fragments were connected by golden gate according to the circuit diagram design. We selected native Pc, J23101, and porin as promoters for VVD-araC protein expression, and determined the best promoters by the expression yield of the green fluorescent protein. Also see more results of blue-light and VVD regulated sfGFP expression in parts BBa_K4182001 and BBa_K4182002.
