Description
This part is one of the many bio-bricks used to test the blue-light system in our project. Specifically, it contains an entire blue-light system, including a light sensor YF1 and a response regulator FixJ, and two Fixk2 promoter regulated reporters. We used this part to test the efficacy and efficiency of the blue-light system in E. coli. If the bacteria carrying this plasmid is provided with blue light, two reporters cannot be synthesized. On the contrary, if it is kept in dark, then the bacteria colony will display a mixture color from RFP and GFP.
Notes
No.
Source
Blue-light-sensitive LOV domain in the light sensor YF1 is cloned from a protein called YtvA from B. subtilis. HK domain in the light sensor YF1 and the response regulator FixJ are both cloned from a protein called FixL from B. japonicum.
