| In this paper, we reviewed the progress of target protein degradation methods, with special attention to the use of plant hormones to stimulate the degradation. Protein is the key player of many biological processes, interfering the protein level precisely is both important for basic research and clinical application. There are many ways to control the protein level artificially in different levels such as CRISPR-Cas9, RNAi and so on. These methods show different limitations, for example, CRISPR-Cas9 is irreversible, RNAi can cause off-target effect. Targeted protein degradation is one of the ways to regulate the protein level in a post-translational level, it can affect the protein level very fast and reversibly. To achieve targeted protein degradation, different methods have been developed such as small-molecule induced degradation, photo-induced degradation, auxin induced degradation and so on. The core principle is to degrade the target protein in a controllable manner. |
