Optogenetics
is a technique whereby excitable cells,
such as neurons,
can be controlled at will
by light.
To do this,
cells are genetically engineered
to produce ion channels
called opsins
that sit in the cells'
membranes
and open
in response
to a certain wavelength of light.

In classic optogenetics, scientists implant optical fibers near opsin-dotted neurons to deliver the light stimulation. Computer-programmed light pulses can then target these newly light-sensitive neurons in a particular region of the brain and control their activity like puppets on a string.

Despite efforts to visualize the spatio–temporal dynamics of single messenger RNAs, the ability to precisely control their function has lagged. This study presents an optogenetic approach for manipulating the localization and translation of specific mRNAs by trapping them in clusters.

This clustering greatly amplified reporter signals, enabling endogenous RNA–protein interactions to be clearly visualized in single cells.

Functionally, this sequestration reduced the ability of mRNAs to access ribosomes, markedly attenuating protein synthesis. A spatio–temporally resolved analysis indicated that sequestration of endogenous β-actin mRNA attenuated cell motility through the regulation of focal-adhesion dynamics.
