Abstract

Provided are molecular feedback circuits employing caged-degrons. Aspects of such circuits include the use of a caged-degron to modulate the output of a signaling pathway in a feedback-controlled manner. Also provided are nucleic acids encoding molecular circuits and cells containing such nucleic acids. Methods of using caged-degron-based molecular feedback circuits are also provided, including e.g., methods of modulating a signaling pathway of a cell that include genetically modifying the cell with a caged-degron-based molecular feedback circuit.
