Application
Methyl-o-nitropiperonyllysine (mNPK) trifluoroacetic acid is a photo-responsive unnatural amino acid (UAA) for spatiotemporal control of biological molecules or processes as reported by Kneuttinger et al. Irradiation with UV light decages the Lys amino acid, freeing the residue or protein for biological activity. Tools such as mNPK will find wide utility in light regulation of activity, allostery, and enzyme pathways.

We report a general strategy for creating protein kinases in mammalian cells that are poised for very rapid activation by light. By photoactivating a caged version of MEK1, we demonstrate the specific, rapid, and receptor independent activation of an artificial

Photocaging provides a method to spatially and temporally control biological function and gene expression with high resolution. Proteins can be photochemically controlled through the site-specific installation of caging groups on amino acid side chains that are essential for protein function.

Precise photochemical control of protein function can be achieved through the site-specific introduction of caging groups. Chemical and enzymatic methods, including in vitro translation and chemical ligation, have been used to photocage proteins in vitro. These methods have been extended

Isocitrate dehydrogenase is mutated at a key active site arginine residue (Arg172 in IDH2) in many cancers, leading to the synthesis of the oncometabolite (R)-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG). To investigate the early events following acquisition of this mutation in mammalian cells we

Controlled manipulation of proteins and their function is important in almost all biological disciplines. Here, we demonstrate control of protein activity with light. We present two different applications-light-triggered transcription and light-triggered protease cleavage-both based on the same concept of protein
