Introduction

This part contains the protein COP1 fused to the Methyl-Tranferase G9a. Together with the UV-light switch Part I, you will be able to repress virtually any desired gene indicated by a short UV-light pulse. COP1 is a protein that was first described in the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana. It will bind to the UV-light receptor UVR8 after illumination. Thereby recruiting G9a to its target locus. Subsequently the local DNA-expression will be repressed by DNA-methylation
