text: Tight control over protein degradation is a fundamental requirement for cells
to respond rapidly to various stimuli and adapt to a fluctuating environment.
Here we develop a versatile, easy-to-handle library of destabilizing tags (degrons)
for the precise regulation of protein expression profiles in mammalian cells by
modulating target protein half-lives in a predictable manner. Using the well-established
tetracycline gene-regulation system as a model, we show that the dynamics of protein
expression can be tuned by fusing appropriate degron tags to gene regulators.
Next, we apply this degron library to tune a synthetic pulse-generating circuit
in mammalian cells. With this toolbox we establish a set of pulse generators with
tailored pulse lengths and magnitudes of protein expression. This methodology
will prove useful in the functional roles of essential proteins, fine-tuning of
gene-expression systems, and enabling a higher complexity in the design of synthetic
biological systems in mammalian cells.
