The CRISPR/Cas9 system has emerged as an important tool in biomedical research
for a wide range of applications, with significant potential for genome
engineering and gene therapy. In order to achieve conditional control of the
CRISPR/Cas9 system, a genetically encoded light-activated Cas9 was engineered
through the site-specific installation of a caged lysine amino acid. Several
potential lysine residues were identified as viable caging sites that can be
modified to optically control Cas9 function, as demonstrated through optical
activation and deactivation of both exogenous and endogenous gene function.
