We have contributed to the Registry with [http://partsregistry.org/cgi/partsdb/pgroup.cgi?pgroup=iGEM2009&group=Valencia&Done=1 a set of parts], but one of them outstands all the others: [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K222000 aequorin]. This reporter protein needs a prosthetic group, coelenterazine, and citoplasmic Ca2+ to work. This means that light is only emitted whenever the researcher uses coelenterazine and whenever there is a media full of Ca2+. There are some works that use aequorin to sense Ca2+, but we have tamed the protein to emit light whenever we want with the activation through electric current.
A thorough characterization has been made and can be found either at the corresponding page in this wiki or at the [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K222000 Registry].
Additionally, we have used a collection of knock outs in order to have genetic negative control that help us confirm that the light effect is not an artifact.

a 3D model of [http://partsregistry.org/wiki/index.php?title=Part:BBa_K222000 aequorin], our outstanding BioBrick contribution to the Registry.
