Depositor Comments

Please note that during Addgene's quality control process 2 mismatches were found in lacI which result in mutations S219F and Q311P.

LOV2 domain was inserted into the intersubunit linker of the caspase, with linker variation N7C-7 and mutation C450A, which is a dark-locked and light-insensitive mutation
