Abstract excerpt
Here we describe the development and characterization of the photo-N-degron, a peptide tag that can be used in optogenetic studies of protein function in vivo. The photo-N-degron can be expressed as a genetic fusion to the amino termini of other proteins, where it undergoes a blue light-dependent conformational change that exposes a signal for the class of ubiquitin ligases, the N-recognins, which mediate the...
