pDawn with YF2 pDawn is a blue light control system which can start the expression of target gene under the inducement of blue light. More information in BBa_K1075044 added by iGEM13_Bonn.

However, expression leakage and delay are the two main problems of pdawn system. Leakage refers to the expression of target protein without light. According to our measurement, samples strictly kept away from light still had significant expression of GFP after being cultured for one night. Therefore, we carefully studied the gene circuits of pdawn system [2] [3] and hypothesized that enhancing the strength of the promoter of YF1 may enhance the repression of protein expression in the dark, thus solving the leakage problem.

In this part, we tried to change YF1 into YF2. YF2 is reported in Andreas Möglich’s paper[2]. By changing 24 bps in the original sequence, YF2 was reported to have higher promotion effect on FixJ expression, which means stronger inhibitory effect on target gene’s expression.
