Figure 2: Chimeric Red light receptor Cph8 (Cph1-EnvZ) is inactivated by phycobilin PCB photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes preventing the phosphorylation of OmpR

Phosphorylation of OmpR by Cph8 inhibits the expression of the genes regulated by promoter POmpC. Since OmpR and POmpC are naturaly found in E.coli, this biobrick enables a circadian expression of genes regulated by POmpC in E. coli strain deleted for EnvZ.
