Description
Cryptochrome 2 (CRY2) is a blue light stimulated photoreceptor, when exposed to blue light, it would interact withthe N-terminal fragment of CIB1 (CIBN) . This part is full-length CRY2 CDS.
Optogenetic systems enable precise spatial and temporal control of cell behavior. A light-activated CRISPR/Cas9 effector (LACE) system that induces transcription of endogenous genes in the presence of blue light.This was accomplished by fusing the light-inducible heterodimerizing proteins CRY2 and CIB1 to a transactivation domain and the catalytically inactive tCas9, respectively. The versatile LACE system can be easily directed to new DNA sequences for the dynamic regulation of endogenous genes.

mutant EcoR 1 : TGTTGGGAATTc--->TGTTGGGAATTg
Source
The light-inducible heterodimerizering proteins CRY2 and CIB1 are both from Arabidopsis thaliana.
