  • Methods for regulating gene expression using light
    Patent number: 6733996
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of regulating gene expression using a light-activated transcription factor. The White Collar Complex, comprised of WC-1 and WC-2 proteins, binds FAD and becomes activated in the presence of light to stimulate transcription of genes operatively-linked to light-responsive regulatory sequences. Regulatory sequences and inducible regulatory system kits are also provided.
