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.

The light-controlled optogenetic CD3ζ clustering tool is a multi-component optogenetic system engineered to induce spatial clustering of CD3ζ chains with light. In the cited 2020 study, light-driven CD3ζ clustering was sufficient to initiate proximal T cell receptor signaling, including CD3ζ phosphorylation and recruitment of the tandem SH2 domain of Zap70 to plasma membrane clusters.
