The degradation of cell membrane and extracellular proteins with lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs) is hampered by non-recyclable and lysosome-shuttling receptor-dependent mechanisms, limiting the wide application of this emerging technology. Here, we developed macropinocytosis-mediated recyclable LYTACs (McR-TACs) that could durably degrade cell membrane and extracellular proteins in a receptor-independent manner. This McR-TAC platform demonstrated the feasibility of harnessing endogenous transport pathways for developing next-generation recyclable protein degraders with broad applicability.
