Résumé

Encapsulins, a prokaryotic class of self-assembling protein nanocompartments, are being re-engineered to serve as "nanoreactors" for the augmentation or creation of key biochemical reactions. However, approaches that allow encapsulin nanoreactors to be functionally activated with spatial and temporal precision are lacking. We report the construction of a light-responsive encapsulin nanoreactor for "on demand" production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Herein, encapsulins were loaded with the fluorescent flavoprotein mini-singlet oxygen generator (miniSOG), a biological photosensitizer that is activated by blue light to generate ROS, primarily singlet oxygen (
