Optical control of protein function provides excellent spatial-temporal resolution for studying proteins in situ. Although light-sensitive exogenous proteins and ligands have been employed to manipulate neuronal activity, a method for optical control of neuronal proteins using unnatural amino acids (Uaa) in vivo is lacking. Here, we describe the genetic incorporation of a photoreactive Uaa into the pore of an inwardly-rectifying potassium channel Kir2.1. The Uaa occluded the pore, rendering the channel non-conducting, and upon brief light illumination, was released to permit outward K+ current. Expression of this photo-inducible inwardly rectifying potassium (PIRK) channel in rat hippocampal neurons created a light-activatable PIRK switch for suppressing neuronal firing. We also expressed PIRK channels in embryonic mouse neocortex in vivo and demonstrated a light-activated PIRK current in cortical neurons. The principles applied here to a potassium channel could be generally expanded to other proteins expressed in the brain to enable optical regulation.
