new #preprint: mRNA delivered degron system w/ GFP-nanobody to efficiently reduce GFP-tagged proteins in an inducible manner in 🐟 Case study: reduction of PMM2 (basis for ER-based #glycosylation) causes hypoglycosylation reported from CDG-patients www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #CRISPR #RareDisease

Establishing an auxin-inducible GFP nanobody-based acute protein knockdown system to mimic hypomorphic mutations during early medaka embryogenesis

Creating hypomorphic mutations are crucial to study gene function in vivo, especially when null mutations result in (embryonic) lethality. This is especially the case for enzymes involved in glycosyla...
