Mammalian LovTAP-VP16

LovTAP-VP16 is a light-sensitive protein that binds to DNA. The protein is a fusion between a Lov light activated domain, a TRP repressor, an NLS/ linker domain and a VP16 activator domain. As it contains a VP16 activational domain, it's able to act as a transcriptional activator when it is bound to a TRP promoter site.

The lov domain clashes with the TRP repressor domain and prevents binding before the protein is exposed to blue light. After light activation the Lov domain goes through a comformational change and the TRP repressor domain of the protein can bind DNA.
