Based on a previous study of photo-regulation of transcription by T7 RNA polymerase, the regulatory effect of azobenzene on in vitro green fluorescent protein (GFP) production was studied by introduction of a D-threoninol-tethered p-azobenzene into the non template strand of the T7 promoter in a GFP template. By measurement of the resulting GFP fluorescence intensity after the in vitro transcription/translation coupled reaction, it is found that photo-regulation of GFP gene expression can be achieved in a position-dependent manner by trans-cis isomerization of azobenzene upon UV irradiation.
基于先前对T7 RNA聚合酶转录光调节的研究,通过将D-苏糖醇连接的对-偶氮苯引入绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)模板中T7启动子的非模板链,研究了偶氮苯对体外绿色荧光蛋白产生的调节作用。通过测量体外转录/翻译偶联反应后产生的GFP荧光强度,发现通过紫外线照射后偶氮苯的反式-顺式异构化,可以以位置依赖的方式实现GFP基因表达的光调节。
