The source describes a chemically inducible gene circuit that harnesses GSDME to trigger pyroptotic cell death on demand; the upstream web research summary states that the engineered platform is explicitly named CiGSDME.
This Logic-gated AdPROM deploying SrtA-mediated Element Recombination (LASER) platform allows us to expand the possible protein degradation outcomes in mammalian cells using Boolean logic operations depending on the input combinations.
Here, we report the design of a protease-responsive conformationally inhibited system (PRCIS). By intramolecularly linking the free DNA-binding domains of ATF to confined dimerized regions, the transcriptional binding is conformationally inactivated. The function of DNA binding is reinstated upon proteolytic cleavage of linkages, activating the downstream gene expressions.
