PART COLLECTION
Here we present a collection of parts that can assemble Predator system under the induction of external signals such as small molecule rapamycin and blue light. Therefore, controllable protein degradation can be achieved through different combination of the parts from this collection.
In 2020, we designed RiPrePro system which is mediated by small molecule thus lead to the degradation of target modules. This year, the new system LiPrepro was designed and testyfied to have great combination with the targeted Cycleblue parts and make the cell cycle under the control of blue light.
The resemblance between two systems is the mechanism of ubiquitination. However, they are different in the "switch" of the system--small molecules and bule light. Small molecules could function broadly in side our body while the bule light is a much quicker and cheaper way to control the cell cycle. They are all useful tools.
