A disordered tether to iLID improves photoswitchable protein patterning on model membranes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Apr 6;59(29):4380-4383. doi: 10.1039/d3cc00709j.

Abstract

Reversible protein patterning on model membranes is important to reproduce spatiotemporal protein dynamics in vitro. An engineered version of iLID, disiLID, with a disordered domain as a membrane tether improves the recruitment of Nano under blue light and the reversibility in the dark, which enables protein patterning on membranes with higher spatiotemporal precision.
