Description
This part is mainly composed of Cph8(BBa_K592018), ho1(BBa_I15008) and PcyA(BBa_I15009), which form the red light sensing system in E.coli. Cph8 is a synthetic red light sensor, consisting of Cph1, a natural red light sensor, and EnvZ, a histidine kinase. The most important part of the light sensor is PCB(phycocyanobilin), without which the red light sensor cannot work. However, PCB is not generated by E.coli naturally. So we need to introduce ho1 and PcyA into E.coli. These two enzymes can change heme into PCB. Here we combine the three main parts together to facilitate parts users.
Notes
We need to add a promoter and three RBSs.
