Zusammenfassung:The instant disclosure provides chimeric polypeptides which modulate various cellular processes following a cleavage event induced upon binding of a specific binding member of the polypeptide with its binding partner. Methods of using chimeric polypeptides to modulate cellular functions, including e.g., induction of gene expression, are also provided. Nucleic acids encoding the subject chimeric polypeptides and associated expression cassettes and vectors as well as cells that contain such nucleic acids and/or expression cassettes and vectors are provided. Also provided, are methods of treating a subject using the described components and methods as well as kits for practicing the subject methods.
