Description
Vivid (VVD) is the smallest known Light???oxygen???voltage (LOV) domain protein and photo-inducible dimer. Isolated from Neurospora crassa, VVD forms a homodimer in response to a blue-light stimulus.
Then, a split protein is a protein whose sequence has been divided into two (or more) different parts. The yellow-fluorescent (YFP) protein will only express fluorescence when its two parts will be reunited.
The part is coding for the homodimer VVD link by an integration of specific sequence to the C terminal of the YFP split.
Notes
The sequence of VVD had 2 illegal sites PstI; that have been removed.
Source
Assembly the sequence of photoreceptor VVD (without illegal site), a linker(1) and then the C terminal of YFP split(1)
