Abstract: The technology described herein is directed to engineered MCP proteins and engineered PCP proteins, which are degraded when the proteins are not bound to an MS2 or PP7 RNA hairpin loop, respectively. Also described herein are fusion proteins comprising such engineered MCP proteins and engineered PCP proteins linked to various effector proteins. The linkage to the effector proteins can be modulated through of specialized linker domains. In addition, described herein are complexes and systems comprising the fusion proteins in combination with synthetic RNA molecules, in order to modulate the structure and/or function the synthetic RNA molecules.
