{"abstract":[{"text":"Optogenetics enables the spatio-temporally precise control of cell and animal behavior. Many optogenetic tools are driven by light-controlled protein–protein interactions (PPIs) that are repurposed from natural light-sensitive domains (LSDs). Applying light-controlled PPIs to new target proteins is challenging because it is difficult to predict which of the many available LSDs, if any, will yield robust light regulation. As a consequence, fusion protein libraries need to be prepared and tested, but methods and platforms to facilitate this process are currently not available. Here, we developed a genetic engineering strategy and vector library for the rapid generation of light-controlled PPIs. The strategy permits fusing a target protein to multiple LSDs efficiently and in two orientations. The public and expandable library contains 29 vectors with blue, green or red light-responsive LSDs, many of which have been previously applied ex vivo and in vivo. We demonstrate the versatility of the approach and the necessity for sampling LSDs by generating light-activated caspase-9 (casp9) enzymes. Collectively, this work provides a new resource for optical regulation of a broad range of target proteins in cell and developmental biology.","lang":"eng"}],"isi":1,"citation":{"mla":"Tichy, Alexandra-Madelaine, et al. “Engineering Strategy and Vector Library for the Rapid Generation of Modular Light-Controlled Protein–Protein Interactions.” <i>Journal of Molecular Biology</i>, vol. 431, no. 17, Elsevier, 2019, pp. 3046–55, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmb.2019.05.033\">10.1016/j.jmb.2019.05.033</a>.","short":"A.-M.
