Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods and compositions provided herein that include a compound protease. The compound protease can contain a protease domain, a cut site for another enzyme and an association domain. In some embodiments, the compound protease is part of a protein circuit.

Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods, compositions, and kits suitable for use in signal amplification. There are provided, in some embodiments, protease-based signal amplification modules. Disclosed herein include amplifier proteins comprising a first part of a first protease domain, a first dimerization domain, a first cut site a protease in a protease active state is capable of cutting, a second dimerization domain, a second cut site a protease in a protease active state is capable of cutting, and a first caging domain. Disclosed herein include companion amplifier proteins comprising a second part of a first protease domain, a third dimerization domain, a third cut site a protease in a protease active state is capable of cutting, a fourth dimerization domain, a fourth cut site a protease in a protease active state is capable of cutting, and a second caging domain.

Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods, compositions, and systems suitable for use in delivering a polynucleotide to a target cell of a subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, a viral vector comprises a polynucleotide encoding nucleoprotein (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (L), and one or more transgenes. The viral vector can comprise one or more of a conditionally stable fusion protein, a protease fusion protein, a degron fusion protein, and/or a glycoprotein derived of another species than the viral vector polynucleotide to enable control of viral vector transduction and/or replication.

Abstract: Disclosed herein include methods, compositions, and kits suitable for use in thresholding of protein signals. There are provided, in some embodiments, synthetic protein circuits that respond to inputs only above or below a certain threshold concentration. In some embodiments, the threshold value itself is tunable. Methods of treating a disease or disorder characterized by aberrant signaling are provided in some embodiments.
