| Research Abstract |
We have developed a novel protein depletion method, termed the auxin-inducible degron (AID) system, by transplanting a plant specific degradation pathway controlled by auxin. Because another plant hormone, Jasmonate-isoleucine (JA-ile), works in a similar way for degrading JAZ proteins in plants, we expected to make a new degron system in order to control two proteins independently by AID and JA-ile degrons. We tried to make a JA-ile degron system, but so far unfortunately, we have not succeeded yet. It seems to be necessary to revisit the working mechanism of JA-ile in plants and to optimize our assay conditions to test degradation of proteins using JA-ile. On the other hand, we have successfully improved the original AID system and applied for a patent
