We describe here the development of a photoreleasable version of a protein phosphatase-1 (PP1)-disrupting peptide (PDP-Nal) that triggers protein phosphatase-1 activity. PDP-Nal is a 23 mer that binds to PP1 through several interactions. It was photocaged on a tyrosine residue, which required the exchange of phenylalanine in PDP-Nal to tyrosine in order to disrupt the most important binding interface. This PDP-caged can be light-controlled in live cells.
