Abstract
Optical manipulation appears to be a powerful tool for spatiotemporally controlling a variety of cellular functions. Herein, a photocontrolled DNA assembly approach is described which enables light-induced activation of cellular signal transduction by triggering protein dimerization (c-Met signalling in this case). Three kinds of DNA probes are designed, including a pair of receptor recognition probes with adaptors and a blocker probe with a photocleavable linker (PC-linker). By implementing PC-linkers in blocker probes, the designed DNA probes response to light irradiation, which then induces the assembly of receptor recognition probes through adaptor complementing. Consequently, light-mediated DNA assembly promotes the dimerization of c-Met receptors, resulting in activation of c-Met signalling. It is demonstrated that the proposed photocontrolled DNA assembly approach is effective for regulating c-Met signalling and modulating cellular behaviours, such as cell proliferation and migration. Therefore, this simple approach may offer a promising strategy to manipulate cell signalling pathways precisely in living cells.

Abstract
The spatiotemporal dynamics of proteins and organelles play an important role in controlling diverse cellular processes. Optogenetic tools using photosensitive proteins and chemically induced dimerization (CID), which allow control of protein dimerization, have been used to elucidate the dynamics of biological systems and to dissect the complicated biological regulatory networks. However, the inherent limitations of current optogenetic and CID systems remain a significant challenge for the fine‐tuning of cellular activity at precise times and locations. Herein, we present a novel chemo‐optogenetic approach, photoswitchable chemically induced dimerization (psCID), for controlling cellular function by using blue light in a rapid and reversible manner. Moreover, psCID is tunable; that is, the dimerization and dedimerization degrees can be fine‐tuned by applying different doses of illumination. Using this approach, we control the localization of proteins and positioning of organelles in live cells with high spatial (μm) and temporal (ms) precision.

Abstract
Chemically induced dimerization (CID) has proven to be a powerful tool for modulating protein interactions. However, the traditional dimerizer rapamycin has limitations in certain in vivo applications because of its slow reversibility and its affinity for endogenous proteins. Described herein is a bioorthogonal system for rapidly reversible CID. A novel dimerizer with synthetic ligand of FKBP' (SLF') linked to trimethoprim (TMP). The SLF' moiety binds to the F36V mutant of FK506-binding protein (FKBP) and the TMP moiety binds to E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (eDHFR). SLF'-TMP-induced heterodimerization of FKBP(F36V) and eDHFR with a dissociation constant of 0.12 μM. Addition of TMP alone was sufficient to rapidly disrupt this heterodimerization. Two examples are presented to demonstrate that this system is an invaluable tool, which can be widely used to rapidly and reversibly control protein function in vivo.

Abstract
Chemical dimerizers are powerful tools for non-invasive manipulation of enzyme activities in intact cells. Here we introduce the first rapidly reversible small-molecule-based dimerization system and demonstrate a sufficiently fast switch-off to determine kinetics of lipid metabolizing enzymes in living cells. We applied this new method to induce and stop phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) activity, allowing us to quantitatively measure the turnover of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3) and its downstream effectors by confocal fluorescence microscopy as well as standard biochemical methods.
