GFP with a protein degradation tag attached
A protein degradation tag (degron) is attached to the C-terminus of GFP to promote protein degradation.
Usage and Biology
While reviewing CRISPR-related materials, we discovered a particularly interesting evolutionary system- phage-assisted continuous evolution (PACE)[1,2], which can enable continuous directed evolution of gene-coding molecules that can be associated with protein production in E. coli. Then, we found a protein degradation tag-degron[3], that enables rapid hydrolysis of proteins with little functionality, which allows degron to be used in a number of protein co-expression screening systems.
We expressed GFP in fusion with degron and tested the degradation efficiency of degron (Fig. 1). The results showed that the GFP-degron fusion protein was almost non-fluorescent, much less than GFP. this demonstrated the extremely strong degradation activity of degron.
