We demonstrate the utility of the phytochrome system to rapidly and reversibly recruit proteins to specific subcellular regions within specific cells in a living vertebrate embryo. Light-induced heterodimerization using the phytochrome system has previously been used as a powerful tool to dissect signaling pathways for single cells in culture but has not previously been used to reversibly manipulate the precise subcellular location of proteins in multicellular organisms. Here we report the experimental conditions necessary to use this system to manipulate proteins in vivo. As proof of principle, we demonstrate that we can manipulate the localization of the apical polarity protein Pard3 with high temporal and spatial precision in both the neural tube and the embryo’s enveloping layer epithelium. Our optimizations of optogenetic component expression and chromophore purification and delivery should significantly lower the barrier for establishing this powerful optogenetic system in other multicellular organisms. The phytochrome system has been optimized for use within multicellular organisms Protein recruitment can be tightly controlled to a specific subcellular region Protein recruitment occurs with high binding and reversal kinetics The subcellular localization of the apical polarity protein Pard3 is manipulated The phytochrome system is a powerful tool that is used to manipulate protein localization. Here, Buckley et al. optimize the phytochrome system in live zebrafish embryos and demonstrate rapid and reversible protein recruitment to specific subcellular regions within specific cells, at a high spatial and temporal resolution.
