Inducible control of nuclear localization. All data were fitted using a nonlinear least squares optimizer (MATLAB R2015a 8.5.0.197613, MathWorks) and all parameter values are shown in Supplementary Table Further information on research design is available in the Code used for simulations is available on reasonable request from the corresponding author. The contribution of photoproducts to the phototoxic process may be the basis for the reported differences between the in vivo action spectrum and the absorption spectrum of demethylchlorotetracycline.

Half-life measurements of chemical inducers for recombinant gene expression. 1973 Dec; 108 (6):837–838. As another practical example, we show that dynamic aTc regulation can be used to reduce the dark-state activity of protein-based optogenetic systems by implementing two-stage optogenetic control.
Schwarzenbach, R. P., Gschwend, P. M. & Imboden, D. M. Boreen, A. L., Arnold, W. A. In the meantime, to ensure continued support, we are displaying the site without styles Torella, J. P. et al.

Here, we describe a simple method to overcome this limitation, and show that the natural photosensitivity of aTc/Tc can be exploited to turn them into highly predictable optogenetic transcriptional- and growth-regulators.

We then investigated if aTc inactivation can also be achieved in denser cell cultures than the logarithmic growth cultures we used for all characterization experiments, as bacterial cultures absorb visible light. A drawback of these and other small molecule inducers is the difficulty of their removal from cell cultures, limiting their application for dynamic control.
