Catalytic in vivo protein knockdown by small-molecule PROTACs.
The current predominant therapeutic paradigm is based on maximizing drug-receptor occupancy to achieve clinical benefit. This strategy, however, generally requires excessive drug concentrations to ensure sufficient occupancy, often leading to adverse side effects. Here, we describe major improvements to the proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) method, a chemical knockdown strategy in which ...
متن کاملSmall-molecule inhibitors of protein-protein interactions.
Protein-protein interactions regulate almost all aspects of cellular signaling and aberrant protein-protein interactions have the potential to cause or contribute to human disease. The modulation of these interactions by drug-like molecules would offer previously unavailable opportunities to explore the relevance of pre-selected protein-protein interactions for cellular signaling, as well as be...
متن کاملSmall-molecule control of protein degradation using split adaptors.
Targeted intracellular degradation provides a method to study the biological function of proteins and has numerous applications in biotechnology. One promising approach uses adaptor proteins to target substrates with genetically encoded degradation tags for proteolysis. Here, we describe an engineered split-adaptor system, in which adaptor assembly and delivery of substrates to the ClpXP protea...
متن کاملA historical overview of protein kinases and their targeted small molecule inhibitors.
Protein kinases play a predominant regulatory role in nearly every aspect of cell biology and they can modify the function of a protein in almost every conceivable way. Protein phosphorylation can increase or decrease enzyme activity and it can alter other biological activities such as transcription and translation. Moreover, some phosphorylation sites on a given protein are stimulatory while o...
متن کاملSmall-molecule Bcl-2 antagonists as targeted therapy in oncology
Dynamic protein-protein interactions between proapoptotic and pro-survival Bcl-2 family members regulate outer-mitochondrial membrane permeabilization and cytochrome c release, key events in the path to apoptosis. Their relative levels often dictate the fate of a cell following an apoptotic stimulus. However, in cancer cells, the pro-survival Bcl-2 family members are frequently upregulated, the...
