Biochem/physiol Actions

GA3-AM is a cell permeable analog of the plant hormone gibberellic acid that acts as a chemical dimerizer or chemical inducer of dimerization. GA3 and rapamycin chemically inducible dimerization systems are orthogonal. GA3-AM has been used in conjunction with a rapamycin dimerization system and CRISPR/Cas9 activators for temporal control of CRISPR/Cas9 activator function, enabling temporal regulation of multiple genes.

Using a newly synthesized gibberellin analog containing an acetoxymethyl group (GA(3)-AM) and its binding proteins, we developed an efficient chemically inducible dimerization (CID) system that is completely orthogonal to existing rapamycin-mediated protein dimerization. Combining the two systems should allow applications

The concerted action of multiple genes in a time-dependent manner controls complex cellular phenotypes, yet the temporal regulation of gene expressions is restricted on a single-gene level, which limits our ability to control higher-order gene networks and understand the consequences

Mitochondrial division is not an autonomous event but involves multiple organelles, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes. Whereas the ER drives the constriction of mitochondrial membranes, the role of lysosomes in mitochondrial division is not known. Here, using super-resolution

A common way to study protein function is to deplete the protein of interest from cells and observe the response. Traditional methods involve disrupting gene expression but these techniques are only effective against newly synthesized proteins and leave previously existing
