When mammalian cells that are transgenic for the screening circuit are exposed to a compound library, they detect and modulate reporter gene expression in the presence of a non-toxic, cellpermeable and bioavailable molecule that has a classspecific core structure and corresponding drug activity (for example, antibiotic activity) (FIG. The availability of compact RNA sensor-actuators that are easy to design and to alter and that control transgene expression in response to intracellular levels of key proteins may also improve the ability to link metabolic disease states with gene-based therapeutic interventions. ./cache/cord-295019-8tf8ah6g.txt ./txt/cord-295019-8tf8ah6g.txt
