Abstract
With optogenetic methods, signal transduction molecules can be activated using light and the affected signaling cascades can be analyzed in vivo. Signal transduction molecules, such as the photoactivatable adenylate cyclase bPAC of the sulfur bacterium Beggiatoa sp. produce the second messenger cyclical adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). The enzymatic formation of cAMP—and thereby the light-induced adenylate cyclase activity—can be detected with the GloSensor™ cAMP Assay using a luminescence signal.
