Mechanism Branch
Layer 1
Mechanisms
Top-level concepts: biophysical action modes such as heterodimerization, photocleavage, or RNA binding.
Layer 2
Architectures
Arrangements that realize or deploy mechanisms, including switches, construct patterns, and delivery strategies.
Layer 3
Components
Low-level parts and sequence-defined elements used inside architectures, including protein domains and RNA elements.
Technique Branch
Layer 1
Approaches
High-level engineering practices such as computational design, directed evolution, sequence verification, and functional assay.
Layer 2
Methods
Concrete methods used to design, build, verify, or characterize engineered systems.

Cry2/CIB is a genetically encoded blue-light-activated protein dimerization module derived from Arabidopsis thaliana. It is used to optically induce protein-protein interactions and has been applied to control transcription, protein localization, protein secretion, and, when coupled to BAX, light-triggered apoptosis.
This tool is a light-gated protein-protein interaction system engineered to regulate the activation pattern of the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway. It enables light-mediated kinetic control of intracellular signaling and was used in rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells to induce neurite outgrowth without growth factors.
