Abstract:
A method for selective targeted degradation of intracellular proteins in situ by inducing in cells a production of an agent comprising N-terminal domain as well as a C-terminal domain. The N-terminal domain destabilizes the target protein and directs its degradation when attached to it through the C-terminal domain acting as a linker between the target protein and between the protein agent of the invention. The protein degradation directing N-terminal domain is a subregion within 97 amino acids corresponding to the N-terminus of protein antizyme.
