The work enables one-shot domain insertion engineering and substantially accelerates design of customized allosteric proteins.
Domain insertion engineering can recombine functions of evolutionarily unrelated proteins.
Insertion of light-switchable receptor domains into a selected effector protein can yield allosteric effectors with light-dependent activity.
The study revealed determinants of domain insertion tolerance and yielded multimodally switchable proteins with unique functional properties.
