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.

LOVdeg is an engineered protein tag that is appended to a protein of interest to enable blue-light-inducible degradation in Escherichia coli. It provides optically controlled post-translational regulation by coupling light exposure to loss of the tagged protein.
The combined EL222 and LOVdeg system is a light-responsive multi-component optogenetic system developed in Escherichia coli by pairing the existing EL222 module with the LOVdeg blue-light-inducible degradation tag. It is intended to enhance optogenetic performance by combining EL222-based control with post-translational light-inducible protein degradation.
Inteins are internal protein domains that mediate conditional protein splicing as a post-translational control strategy. The supplied evidence describes switchable inteins as being developed to control splicing in ways compatible with applications in living cells.
Switchable inteins are conditional protein-splicing systems in which intein activity is regulated post-translationally to control the state of pre-existing proteins. The cited review specifically discusses strategies for controlling intein activity, with emphasis on approaches intended for use in living cells.
The light-inducible split Cre recombinase is an optogenetic multi-component switch in which split Cre recombinase fragments are coupled to light-inducible dimerization modules to achieve inducible post-translational control of Cre activity. It was characterized by comprehensive screening of split sites across the Cre protein using a pooled, sequencing-based domain insertion profiling approach.
