Abstract

Voltage-gated Ca²⁺ (Ca_V) channels mediate Ca²⁺ entry into excitable cells to regulate a myriad of cellular events following membrane depolarization. We report the engineering of RGK GTPases, a class of genetically encoded Ca_V channel modulators, to enable photo-tunable modulation of Ca_V channel activity in excitable mammalian cells. This optogenetic tool (designated optoRGK) tailored for Ca_V channels could find broad applications in interrogating a wide range of Ca_V-mediated physiological processes.
