Induced proximity can be used to control diverse cellular processes. Here, the authors develop nanobody-based proximity inducers called SNACIPs, which can be used to regulate either tagged or endogenous proteins, and demonstrate their use in blocking microtubule nucleation for tumour growth inhibition in vivo.
