a Schematic illustration of light-induced condensate formation by mCh-CRY2olig-IDR oligomerization and simultaneous IDR-Dronpa client turn-off (monomerization), followed by IDR-Dronpa recruitment and subsequent Dronpa tetramerization for (green) fluorescence turn-on inside condensates. b Fluorescence images of cells expressing mCh-CRY2olig-LAF (scaffold) with client DDX-Dronpa before and after 10 s 488 nm light activation and 4 min incubation. c Fluorescence images of cells expressing mCh-CRY2olig-LAF (scaffold) with free Dronpa (left) or cells with only DDX-Dronpa without scaffold (right) before and after 10 s 488 nm light activation and 4 min incubation. Scale bars: 10 μm. d Total GFP (tetramerized Dronpa)-to-mCh ratios for whole cells with various combinations of IDP scaffolds and clients. Data are presented as mean values with ±1 SD as error bars (n = 33 cells from three independent experiments).
