Abstract excerpt
Conditional mutants, such as temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants, are effective tools for the analysis of essential genes. However, such mutants are frequently leaky. To overcome this problem, it is helpful to isolate a "tight" conditional mutant of a gene of interest, e.g., by using ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation to eliminate the gene product. One such strategy is the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system,...
