Provided herein is a system and method of optogenetically inducibly clustering metabolic enzymes for the production of chemicals using cell factories. More particularly, the described inducible protein clustering approach clusters metabolic enzymes by, e.g., a change in illumination conditions (either a switch from dark to light or from light to dark). Performing this clustering leads to an increase in the production of metabolites by the clustered enzymes. In some embodiments, a light-sensitive domain may be replaced with any inducible domain.
