Title:
OPTICAL SWITCH PROTEIN THAT FUNCTIONS THROUGH IRRADIATION WITH LONG WAVELENGTH LIGHT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/029527
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention addresses the problem of providing an RpBphP1 mutant and an RpPpsR2 mutant that are modified so as to enable control of binding and unbinding therebetween with certainty through photoirradiation and blocking of near infrared light. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a protein set that comprises two proteins that bind with each other when being irradiated with near infrared light. The protein set is a set of an RpBphP1 mutant and the wild type RpPpsR2, a set of the wild type RpBphP1 and an RpPpsR2 mutant, or a set of the RpBphP1 mutant and the RpPpsR2 mutant. As compared to the binding of the wild type RpBphP1 and the wild type RpPpsR2, the binding among the protein set is weaker in a dark place and/or is stronger when being irradiated with near infrared light.
