Tools for Cancer Research: CRISPR/Cas-Based Gene Editing and Auxin-Induced Degron Systems.

This protocol covers both single-gRNA (sgRNA) and dual-gRNA directed knockout systems and describes the procedure for constructing an Auxin-Inducible Degron (AID) knock-in-mediated system to induce the rapid degradation of a target protein in cells, thereby investigating its function.

A versatile inducible plant model system for dissecting p53 function and discovering novel interaction networks

Summary p53, a key tumor suppressor in animals, prevents DNA damage by arresting the cell cycle, activating repair, or inducing cell death. Mutations in p53 are found in over half of human cancers, making it vital for cancer research. To expand p53 research, we engineered Arabidopsis thaliana to express p53 under an in...

Expansion and optimization of the auxin-inducible degron 2 (AID2) system in Candida pathogens

A new series of template vectors suitable for employing AID2 technology in prototrophic C. albicans strains, such as clinical isolates and the reference strain SC5314 are reported, and it is demonstrated that the AID2 system also works in Candida auris, albeit less effectively under some conditions.
