Usage and Biology

Fusion protein of PhyB and VP16. This fusion protein PhyB-VP16 is an interaction partner of dCas9-PIF. When crRNA and tracrRNA bind to Cas9, the protein is able to bind complementary DNA. When the system is exposed to red light (660 nm), the Phytochrome B receptor binds to the Phytochrome interaction actor (PIF). So it recruits the dCas9-PIF protein. The PhyB-PIF binding can be abolished by illumination with far-red light (740nm.) This system enables activation of gene expression induced by red light. Have a look at our [http://2013.igem.org/Team:Freiburg/Project/induction#light light project page].

Figure 1: SEAP levels for HEK293T-cells. The HEK293T-cells were treated as described in the "Experiments" section above. The bars on the left side show SEAP levels of the negative control that was transfected without the targeting plasmid href="https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K1150034. The bars on the right side show SEAP levels of constructs transfected with target plasmid. Red bars show cell-samples illuminated with activating red-light, white bars show samples illuminated with inactivating far-red light. Error bars show standard deviation of biological triplicates. An increasing SEAP-level after illumination can be observed if target plasmid is present.
