Optogenetics is a fast-growing field, that applies light-sensitive proteins to manipulate cellular processes. A popular optogenetics tool is the improved light-induced dimer (iLID). It comprises two components, iLID and SspB, which heterodimerize upon illumination with blue light. This system is often used to recruit proteins to a specific subcellular location, e.g. by targeting the iLID to the plasma membrane. The targeting requires modification of the iLID with a targeting sequence. To skip the modification of the iLID and use existing GFP fusion as targets, we fuse an antiGFP nanobody to the iLID. We show that the antiGFP nanobody is able to locate iLID to GFP-tagged proteins. Plus, the light-dependent recruitment of SspB to iLID, localized by the antiGFP nanobody to a GFP-tagged protein, is still functioning efficiently. This approach increases flexibility, enabling the recruitment of any GFP-tagged protein, without the necessity of protein engineering.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
