Summary

LOV-Turbo is a light-regulated proximity-labeling system generated by installing a light-sensitive LOV domain into the biotin ligase TurboID. It provides rapid and reversible control of biotin-labeling activity with low-power blue light and can also be activated by luciferase-derived BRET for interaction-dependent proximity labeling in living cells.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

LOV-Turbo enables spatiotemporally precise control of proximity labeling while reducing background labeling, including in biotin-rich environments such as neurons. It is useful for pulse-chase and interaction-dependent labeling experiments in multiple cellular contexts.

We used LOV-Turbo for pulse-chase labeling to discover proteins that traffick between endoplasmic reticulum, nuclear, and mitochondrial compartments under cellular stress.

Problem solved

This tool addresses the difficulty of controlling TurboID proximity-labeling activity with high temporal precision while limiting constitutive background biotinylation. It also addresses the need to trigger labeling without external illumination by using luciferase-derived BRET.

Implementation Constraints

LOV-Turbo is implemented by domain fusion, specifically insertion of a light-sensitive LOV domain into TurboID. Activation can be achieved either with low-power blue light or through luciferase-derived BRET, but the supplied evidence does not specify construct architecture, luciferase identity, cofactors, or delivery format.

The provided evidence does not report quantitative performance metrics, kinetic constants, dynamic range, or direct comparisons across many model systems. Independent replication is not indicated in the supplied evidence.
