Abstract
The regulation of protein levels in plants is essential for improving agricultural productivity. Recent studies have explored inducible degradation systems in plants, with some showing promising advancements. This study introduces the NRDN degradation tag as a novel tool for regulating protein stability within the nucleus in Arabidopsis thaliana. Unlike traditional gene knockout methods, NRDN offers real-time, dynamic control over protein degradation, enabling precise studies of nuclear-localized proteins. This discovery provides a valuable tool for regulating protein stability in specific cellular compartments, which presents a versatile approach for dissecting complex cellular processes and offers broad applications in functional genomics and cellular research.
期刊介绍:
Plant Science will publish in the minimum of time, research manuscripts as well as commissioned reviews and commentaries recommended by its referees in all areas of experimental plant biology with emphasis in the broad areas of genomics, proteomics, biochemistry (including enzymology), physiology, cell biology, development, genetics, functional plant breeding, systems biology and the interaction of plants with the environment.
Manuscripts for full consideration should be written concisely and essentially as a final report. The main criterion for publication is that the manuscript must contain original and significant insights that lead to a better understanding of fundamental plant biology. Papers centering on plant cell culture should be of interest to a wide audience and methods employed result in a substantial improvement over existing established techniques and approaches. Methods papers are welcome only when the technique(s) described is novel or provides a major advancement of established protocols.
