Multi-Component Switch·Research·Since 2022

Also known as: antiGFP nanobody fused to iLID

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

Summary

iLID-antiGFP-nanobody is a multi-component optogenetic recruitment system in which iLID is fused to an antiGFP nanobody to target existing GFP-tagged proteins. Under blue-light illumination, iLID heterodimerizes with SspB, enabling light-dependent recruitment to locations defined by GFP fusions.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This system is useful because it redirects iLID-based optogenetic recruitment to pre-existing GFP-tagged proteins rather than requiring direct engineering of each target protein. The reported advantage is increased targeting flexibility while retaining efficient light-dependent SspB recruitment.

Source:

the light-dependent recruitment of SspB to iLID, localized by the antiGFP nanobody to a GFP-tagged protein, is still functioning efficiently

Problem solved

It addresses the practical problem of deploying iLID recruitment at specific intracellular targets when those targets are already available as GFP fusions. The antiGFP nanobody-iLID fusion allows use of existing GFP-tagged proteins without modifying the iLID target itself.

The construct design supported by the evidence is a fusion of iLID to an antiGFP nanobody, used together with an SspB binding partner. Blue light is the activating input, and targeting depends on the presence of a GFP-tagged protein serving as the localization anchor.

The supplied evidence is limited to a single 2022 source and does not provide quantitative performance metrics, kinetic parameters, or validation across multiple proteins, organisms, or assay formats. No evidence here addresses background binding, reversibility, phototoxicity, or performance outside the reported context.
