Dear Dicty workers,
please let me pick your brains for the following:
I'd like to redirect cytoplasmic proteins to new places within the cell
upon a stimulus ( e.g. using a small molecule as a hetero-dimerization
agent). This could be achieved by having a cytoplasmic recruitee bind to
a recruiter on an organelle (ER, Golgi, Mitochondria...).
For that to work I'd like help with finding suitable recruiters. In
other words - markers for organelles that you or others have used
successfully in vivo. These proteins should also contain a cytoplasmic
portion that can tolerate fusion to be useful.
So far I have successfully used calnexin, which however failed later for
other reasons.
All hints are appreciated!
Thanks a lot,
-Oliver
