Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Architecture. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

cLIPS1 is a photoactivated translation inhibitor built by fusing a segment of 4EBP2 to a circularly permuted Avena sativa LOV2 domain. It binds human eIF4E in a light-dependent manner and inhibits translation in a yeast system engineered to harbor human eIF4E.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

cLIPS1 provides an optogenetic means to control translation initiation with light through regulated interaction with human eIF4E. It is useful as a tool for perturbing the translation machinery in a temporally controlled manner in the reported yeast-based context.

cLIPS1 is a fusion construct comprising a segment of 4EBP2 and a circularly permuted LOV2 domain from Avena sativa. Reported functional validation was performed using human eIF4E and a yeast system engineered to harbor human eIF4E; the supplied evidence does not provide additional construct architecture or expression details.

The supplied evidence is limited to a single 2019 study and to in vitro binding plus in vivo activity in a yeast system harboring human eIF4E. No quantitative performance metrics, wavelength details, reversibility data, or validation in mammalian cells are provided in the supplied evidence.
