Caffeine-operated synthetic module (COSMO)
A genetically encoded caffeine manipulation synthesis module (COSMO) serves as a powerful chemically induced dimerization (CID) system.COSMO is capable of chemically genetically manipulating biological processes via caffeine and its metabolites as well as caffeine-containing beverages including coffee, tea, soda, and energy drinks. This CID tool evolved from caffeine-resistant nanosomes through a cell-based high-throughput screen. Further rationalized engineering of COSMO leads to 34-217-fold enhancement in caffeine sensitivity (EC50 = 16.9 We fused the protein to the chimeric antigen receptor in the hope that the protein could block the signal from the single-chain fragment variable while activating its downstream signal in the presence of caffeine
