BcLOV4
BcLOV is a light-oxygen-voltage (LOV) flavoprotein This protein is a photoreceptor that can be dynamically recruited to the plasma membrane by a light-regulated protein-lipid electrostatic interaction with the inner leaflet in mammalian cells [1]. This protein contains flavin as a chromophore bound to sensory domain Per-Arnt-Sim type (PAS). The migration reaction is triggered with the blue light of 450 nm where is the maximum flavin excitation in BcLOV; and reversed detaching from membrane occurs in the dark. Thus this mechanism could be useful to manageably locate specifically proteins fused with BcLOV4. It creates in this way a kind of compartmentalisation in the bacterial cell that could be used to improve the accuracy of other transcriptional regulators. We used truncated BcLOV4 variant - BcLOV4 ∆1-240 with codon optimization for E.coli. This procedure facilitate protein binding to membrane even in dim light (pic. 1) [2]. Codon optimization of the nucleotide sequence for efficient gene expression in E.coli was performed using GENEWIZ and verified against a triplet frequency table obtained from the Codon Usage Database.

During our project, we confirm with a computer simulation that membrane localisation of shortened BcLOV4 without N-terminal G-protein signalling (RGS) domain is mediated by a polybasic amphipathic helix located right after LOV domain. We also showed that this reversible electrostatic interaction is non-selective among anionic phospholipids and depends only on the content of anions in a membrane (pic. 2).
