LexA Synthetic Activator (untagged)

This is a synthetic transcriptional activator for use in yeast. It contains the VP16 activation domain, the LexA DNA-binding domain, the SV40 nuclear localization sequence, and the ADH1 terminator. It binds to the Lex operator, activating transcription downstream.

Improvement by UCopenhagen2020

This biobrick was improved upon by the UCopenhagen 2020 team. The improvement consists of fusing the biobrick to a transmembrane domain linked by a flexible link containing a TEV protease cleavage site as well as adding an ER import signal. This makes the synthetic transcription factor localize to the membrane. If a TEV protease cleaves the biobrick, the synthetic transcription factor is able to relocate to the nucleus and induce expression of a reporter gene under control of a LexAop promoter. The improved biobrick can be found at BBa_K3617007.
