Abstract

Conditional control of target proteins using the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system provides a powerful tool for investigating protein function in eukaryotes. Here, we established an Affinity-linker based super-sensitive auxin-inducible degron (AlissAID) system in budding yeast by using a single domain antibody (a nanobody). In this system, target proteins fused with GFP or mCherry were degraded depending on a synthetic auxin, 5-Adamantyl-IAA (5-Ad-IAA). In AlissAID system, nanomolar concentration of 5-Ad-IAA induces target degradation, thus minimizing the side effects from chemical compounds. In addition, in AlissAID system, we observed few basal degradations which was observed in other AID systems including ssAID system. Furthermore, AlissAID based conditional knockdown cell lines are easily generated by using budding yeast GFP Clone Collection. Target protein, which has antigen recognition sites exposed in cytosol or nucleus, can be degraded by the AlissAID system. From these advantages, the AlissAID system would be an ideal protein-knockdown system in budding yeast cells.
