Inteins
Lennon and Belfort introduce inteins - protein introns - and describe how they escape host proteins, their uses in biotechnology, where they are found in nature, and their role in post-translational regulation.
متن کاملDegrons in cancer.
Degrons are the elements that are used by E3 ubiquitin ligases to target proteins for degradation. Most degrons are short linear motifs embedded within the sequences of modular proteins. As regulatory sites for protein abundance, they are important for many different cellular processes, such as progression through the cell cycle and monitoring cellular hypoxia. Degrons enable the elimination of...
متن کاملIntein Zymogens: Conditional Assembly and Splicing of Split Inteins via Targeted Proteolysis
Naturally split inteins have found widespread use in chemical biology due to their ability to drive the ligation of separately expressed polypeptides through a process termed protein trans-splicing (PTS). In this study, we harness PTS by rendering association of split intein fragments conditional upon the presence of a user-defined protease. We show that these intein "zymogens" can be used to c...
متن کاملRecombinase-based conditional and reversible gene regulation via XTR alleles
Synthetic biological tools that enable precise regulation of gene function within in vivo systems have enormous potential to discern gene function in diverse physiological settings. Here we report the development and characterization of a synthetic gene switch that, when targeted in the mouse germline, enables conditional inactivation, reports gene expression and allows inducible restoration of...
متن کاملGeneration of Ppp2Ca and Ppp2Cb conditional null alleles in mouse.
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is one of the most abundant serine/threonine phosphatases, with a critical role in embryonic development and human disease. There are two isoforms of the catalytic subunit of PP2A, Ppp2ca and Ppp2cb. Null mutation of Ppp2ca leads to early embryonic lethality at E6.5, hindering functional study of PP2A beyond this stage. We generated conditional null alleles of Ppp2...
