AsLOV2 REST-inhibitory chimeras
Multi-Component SwitchAsLOV2 REST-inhibitory chimeras are optogenetic fusion proteins that couple REST-inhibitory domains to the Avena sativa LOV2 photosensory module. In Neuro2a cells they enabled light-dependent modulation of REST target genes, and in primary neurons light-mediated REST inhibition increased Na+ currents and neuronal firing.
