Multi-Component Switch·Research·Since 2020

Also known as: A58V variant

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

Summary

The SspB A58V iLID dimer variant is a blue-light-inducible, multi-component protein interaction system in which a single A58V substitution in SspB tunes binding to iLID. It mediates light-gated heterodimerization and was reported to enable light-activated colocalization of transmembrane proteins in neurons.

Usefulness & Problems

Why this is useful

This variant is useful for optically controlling protein localization in contexts where effective protein concentrations are high. The reported affinity tuning reduced dark-state colocalization relative to a higher-affinity switch while preserving blue-light-induced recruitment in neurons.

Source:

allows for light-activated colocalization of transmembrane proteins in neurons, where a higher affinity switch (0.8-47 bcM) was less effective because more colocalization was seen in the dark

Problem solved

It addresses the problem that earlier or higher-affinity iLID-SspB pairs can show excessive interaction in the dark when proteins are present at high effective concentrations. The reengineered interaction was reported to better control proteins present at effective concentrations of 5-100 μM.

Input: Light

Implementation Constraints

The system consists of iLID and an SspB partner carrying a single A58V point mutation. It is activated by blue light, and the cited engineering goal was improved control at high effective protein concentrations of 5-100 μM; no additional construct architecture, cofactor, or delivery details are provided in the supplied evidence.

The supplied evidence is limited to a single source and primarily supports neuronal transmembrane protein colocalization and affinity measurements. The evidence provided does not describe performance in other cell types, recombination applications, kinetic parameters for this specific variant, or implementation details beyond the A58V mutation.

Comparisons

Source-backed strengths

The A58V variant was reported to exhibit a 42-fold light-dependent affinity change, from 3 ± 2 μM to 125 ± 40 μM upon blue-light activation as stated in the source. In neuronal transmembrane protein colocalization experiments, it outperformed a higher-affinity switch because the higher-affinity system showed more colocalization in the dark.
