Fluorescent proteins (FPs) are widely used as optical sensors while other light-absorbing domains have been used for optical control of protein localization or activity. Here we describe a previously unknown capability of a mutant of the photochromic FP Dronpa – light-dependent dissociation and association – and use it to control protein activities with light. Fusion of mutant Dronpa domains to both termini of an enzyme domain creates a fluorescent light-inducible protein that is inactive in the dark but can be activated by light. Unlike other methods for optical control of single proteins, Dronpa-based fluorescent light-inducible proteins are simple to generate and have self-reporting abilities. Our findings extend the useful applications for FPs in biological experiments and engineered cellular systems from exclusively sensing functions to also encompass optogenetic control.
