A SARS-CoV-2 protein interaction map reveals targets for drug repurposing.

David E. Gordon, +128 more
- 30 Apr 2020 - 
TL;DR: A human–SARS-CoV-2 protein interaction map highlights cellular processes that are hijacked by the virus and that can be targeted by existing drugs, including inhibitors of mRNA translation and predicted regulators of the sigma receptors.

A SARS-CoV-2-Human Protein-Protein Interaction Map Reveals Drug Targets and Potential Drug-Repurposing

David E. Gordon, +123 more
- 22 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: The identification of host dependency factors mediating virus infection may provide key insights into effective molecular targets for developing broadly acting antiviral therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 and other deadly coronavirus strains.
Journal ArticleDOI

KRAS G12C inhibition produces a driver-limited state revealing collateral dependencies

TL;DR: Using functional genomics that identified pathway rewiring in ARS-1620–treated lung and pancreatic cancer cells, the authors found combination therapies that either enhanced target engagement by ARS -1620 (namely, EGFR, FGFR, or SHP2 inhibitors) or suppressed persistent tumor cell survival pathways (Namely, AXL, PI3K, or CDK4/6 inhibitors).
Journal ArticleDOI

p27 allosterically activates cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and antagonizes palbociclib inhibition.

TL;DR: A crystal structure of the CDK4 holoenzyme reveals that p27 allosterically activatesCDK4 to phosphorylate Rb by remodeling the adenosine triphosphate–binding site and by promoting release of the kinase activation segment, and that tyrosine phosphorylation of p21 makes it a poor activator.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brain-Penetrant, Orally Bioavailable Microtubule-Stabilizing Small Molecules Are Potential Candidate Therapeutics for Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Tauopathies

TL;DR: Evaluated compounds from known classes of non-naturally occurring MT-stabilizing small molecules led to the identification of selected triazolopyrimidine and phenylpyrimidines that are orally bioavailable and brain-penetrant without disruption of Pgp function.
