The endogenous genes had a homozygous knock-in of mAID, miniIAA7, FKBP12(F36V), HaloTag, and IKZF3 degron tags at the C-termini of the target genes, and the target proteins were induced to degrade by treating cells with 1 μM 5-Phenyl-indole-3-acetic acid (5-Ph-IAA, synthetic auxin), 500 μM Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, auxin), 1 μM dTAG13, 1 μM <t>HaloPROTAC3,</t> or 1 μM Pomalidomide, respectively, for 0, 1, 6, and 24 h. d Western blots show relative recovery rates of endogenous CTCF protein levels in five degron systems. KOLF2.2J iPSCs were treated with respective ligands for 6 h, then the ligands were washed out, and target protein levels were assessed after 24 h and 48 h with western blot. e Bar plots show quantification of target protein depletion after 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h of treatment with each chemical degrader. f The bar plot shows relative CTCF protein recovery after ligand washout in each degron system. g The single cell analysis (UMAP visualization) shows the relative expression levels of endogenous VHL , CRBN genes, and CAG-promoter driven OsTIR1 gene expression in iPSCs differentiated as embryoid bodies for 21 days.

Degradation of G3BP1 is required for HaloPROTAC3 antiviral activity. ( A, B ) BV2 ΔG3BP1 + HaloG3 BP1 cells were treated for 48 h with 1.2 µM of HaloPROTAC3 or ent -HaloPROTAC3, as indicated, and infected with MNV1. After 1 h of virus adsorption, the virus inoculum was removed and PROTACs re-added to the cell culture medium. ( A ) Extracellular infectious virus yield in supernatants from cells infected with MOI 1 TCID 50 /cell for 16 h and treated with either HaloPROTAC3 or ent -HALOPROTAC3 was quantified by TCID 50 in BV2 cells. ( B ) Infection-induced cell death was detected using the NIR dye measured in the live-cell imaging IncuCyte system. Shown is the quantification of the total number of NIR + cells for cells treated with either HaloPROTAC3 or ent -HaloPROTACs, measured every 3 h and followed for a total of 72 h.p.i. ( C–F ) BV2 ΔG3BP1 + HaloG3 BP1 cells were concomitantly treated for 48 h with 1.2 µM of HaloPROTAC3 and VH032 in the indicated concentrations. ( C ) Metabolic cell death was measured using CellTiter-Blue. Cell death was calculated as relative to the DMSO control. A concentration of 75 µM of VH032 is indicated by a dotted line. ( D ) Protein samples from cells treated for either 24 or 48 h with the indicated concentrations of HaloPROTAC3 and VH032 were subjected to Western blot analysis using antibodies directed Halotag or GAPDH. Bar plot shows the quantification of the Halotag protein bands from three independent experiments for all the experimental conditions. ( E ) Cells were infected with MOI 1 TCID 50 /cell of MNV1. After 1 h of virus adsorption, the virus inoculum was removed and drugs re-added to the cell culture medium. Infection-induced cell death was detected using the NIR dye measured in the live-cell imaging IncuCyte system, as stated in B . Shown is the quantification of the total number of NIR + cells measured after 24 h.p.i. ( F ) Extracellular infectious virus yield quantified by TCID 50 in BV2 cells from supernatants of cells infected with MOI 1 TCID 50 /cell for 16 h and treated with 1.2 µM of HaloPROTAC3 and 30 µM of VH032. Data is expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean with ∗∗ , ∗∗∗ , and ∗∗∗∗ indicating P ≤ 0.01, P ≤ 0.001, and P ≤ 0.0001 respectively. ‘ns’ denotes non-significant.

a Schematics illustrate five degron technologies for ligand-inducible protein depletion. b , c Western blots indicate comparative depletion of endogenously tagged CTCF and RAD21 proteins in KOLF2.2J iPSCs. The endogenous genes had a homozygous knock-in of mAID, miniIAA7, FKBP12(F36V), HaloTag, and IKZF3 degron tags at the C-termini of the target genes, and the target proteins were induced to degrade by treating cells with 1 μM 5-Phenyl-indole-3-acetic acid (5-Ph-IAA, synthetic auxin), 500 μM Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, auxin), 1 μM dTAG13, 1 μM HaloPROTAC3, or 1 μM Pomalidomide, respectively, for 0, 1, 6, and 24 h. d Western blots show relative recovery rates of endogenous CTCF protein levels in five degron systems. KOLF2.2J iPSCs were treated with respective ligands for 6 h, then the ligands were washed out, and target protein levels were assessed after 24 h and 48 h with western blot. e Bar plots show quantification of target protein depletion after 1 h, 6 h, and 24 h of treatment with each chemical degrader. f The bar plot shows relative CTCF protein recovery after ligand washout in each degron system. g The single cell analysis (UMAP visualization) shows the relative expression levels of endogenous VHL , CRBN genes, and CAG-promoter driven OsTIR1 gene expression in iPSCs differentiated as embryoid bodies for 21 days. Each experiment in b – d was repeated independently at least twice with similar results. Data and error bars in e and f indicate the means ± SD ( n = 3).
