Light-dependent N-end rule-mediated disruption of protein function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Drosophila melanogaster.

Here we describe the development and characterization of the photo-N-degron, a peptide tag that can be used in optogenetic studies of protein function in vivo. The photo-N-degron can be expressed as a genetic fusion to the amino termini of other proteins, where it undergoes a blue light-dependent co...
