Gal4BD-CIB1

Cryptochrome-interacting basic-helix-loop-helix 1(CIB1) is a protein-coded gene. The product of this gene expression is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein which would interact with cryptochrome 2 (CRY2), a blue light stimulated photoreceptor, when exposed to blue light. This part is a Gal4 DNA binding domain fused to C terminus of CIB1.

Biology

This fusion protein is for use in a yeast-two-hybrid system,and a Gal4 DNA binding domian fused to its C terminus. In order to control DNA transcription by blue light, the system is based on a two-hybrid interaction in which a light-mediated protein brings together two halves of a split transcription factor. CRY2 will disconnected with CIB1 in the dark and halt the DNA transcription.

Usage

To make this parts RFC 10 competible, we use Site-directed mutagenesis to mutate the old sequence into
