The present disclosure generally relates to, among other things, a new class of receptors engineered to modulate transcription in a ligand-dependent manner. The new receptors provide a selectable degree of noise, expression level, and signal to noise ratio. The disclosure also provides compositions and methods useful for producing such receptors, nucleic acids encoding same, host cells genetically modified with the nucleic acids, as well as methods for modulating an activity of a cell and/or for the treatment of various health conditions or diseases, such as cancers. |
