Description
CIB1, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) protein, would interact with cryptochrome 2 (CRY2), a blue light stimulated photoreceptor, when exposed to blue light. The CRY2/CIB1 interaction is entirely genetically encoded and does not require addition of any exogenous cofactors. These modules require no exogenous chromophore, are reversible within minutes, trigger protein translocation on a sub-second time scale, and even allow potential use in vivo in whole organisms.
Notes
none
Source
We cloned the gene sequence of CIB1 from the plasmid PRMH120 from Addgene.
