Merged summary

TL;DR - This Nature Methods article introduces a phosphorylation-controlled allosteric switch that regulates target proteins in response to ERK kinase activity. It offers a potential tool for linking cellular signaling states to programmable protein behavior.

  • Uses ERK-mediated phosphorylation as the control signal.
  • Regulates target proteins through an engineered allosteric mechanism.
  • Focuses on the design and optimization of the phospho-switch.
  • Specific performance results are not provided in the supplied content.
