“…For example, genetic ablation by gene-editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 , and TALENs have similar functions as RNA interference (RNAi) . However, it has recently been reported that an on-target consequence of Cas9 genome editing is chromothripsis, which can lead to genomic instability and cancer. , Likewise, chronic expression of siRNAs can lead to pathway subversion via the upregulation of compensatory mechanisms, resulting in the loss of the desired knockout phenotype. , There is thus a need to develop alternative technologies capable of regulating protein expression. Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (ProTACs) have been used to recruit E3 ligases to proteins of interest, resulting in their ubiquitination and degradation. , Similarly, LyTACs , have been used to cross-link target proteins to receptors that are trafficked to the lysosome, resulting in degradation of the attached cargo protein via endogenous cellular pathways.…”
