Bistable Photoswitch Allows in Vivo Control of Hematopoiesis.


ABSTRACT: Optical control has enabled functional modulation in cell culture with unparalleled spatiotemporal resolution. However, current tools for in vivo manipulation are scarce. Here, we design and implement a genuine on-off optochemical probe capable of achieving hematopoietic control in zebrafish. Our photopharmacological approach first developed conformationally strained visible light photoswitches (CS-VIPs) as inhibitors of the histone methyltransferase MLL1 (KMT2A). In blood homeostasis MLL1 plays a crucial yet controversial role. CS-VIP 8 optimally fulfils the requirements of a true bistable functional system in vivo under visible-light irradiation, and with unprecedented stability. These properties are exemplified via hematopoiesis photoinhibition with a single isomer in zebrafish. The present interdisciplinary study uncovers the mechanism of action of CS-VIPs. Upon WDR5 binding, CS-VIP 8 causes MLL1 release with concomitant allosteric rearrangements in the WDR5/RbBP5 interface. Since our tool provides on-demand reversible control without genetic intervention or continuous irradiation, it will foster hematopathology and epigenetic investigations. Furthermore, our workflow will enable exquisite photocontrol over other targets inhibited by macrocycles.
