Cyanobacteriochrome is a group of photoreceptors that are distinct relatives of phytochromes but are found only in cyanobacteria. A putative cyanobacteriochrome, CcaS, is known to chromatically regulate the expression of the phycobilisome linker gene (cpcG2) in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.We find that CcaS-CcaR-CpcG2 system is merely the only well studied green light sensing system. | Cyanobacteriochrome is a group of photoreceptors that are distinct relatives of phytochromes but are found only in cyanobacteria.

- | Previous studies have | + | Previous studies have shown the reversible photoconversion between a green-absorbing form (Pg, λmax = 535 nm) and a red-absorbing form (Pr, λmax = 672 nm) of CcaS[1]. Autophosphorylation activity of the histidine kinase domain in the C-terminal region of CcaS is up-regulated by preirradiation with green light. Similarly, phosphotransfer to the cognate response regulator, CcaR, is higher in Pr than in Pg. In cyanobacteria, CcaS phosphorylates CcaR under green light and induces expression of cpcG2, leading to accumulation of CpcG2-phycobilisome as a chromatic acclimation system. The chromophore needed in green light sensing system is phycocyanobilin(PCB),same with red sensing system, which is definitely good news. |

Certain sgRNA is under control of the green light sensing system. sgRNA targeting RFP is cloned and the base pairing region was easily replaced by reverse PCR to target luciferase and FebI. | Certain sgRNA is under control of the green light sensing system. sgRNA targeting RFP is cloned and the base pairing region was easily replaced by reverse PCR to target luciferase and FebI. | ||

Redundant deoxyribonucleoside in 5’-terminal of sgRNA may cause inactivation. Considering that we do not know transcription initiation site of CpcG2 and, more importantly,in order to be consistent with other light sensing systems, we did some modification to CcaR-responding promoter. |

So we overlap G-box to BBa_J23107. CcaR will bind to G-box, thus prevents RNA polymerase from binding to the promoter. This modification(BBa_K1023009) allows down-regulation effect under green light. |
