TLDR
It is shown that an estradiol- based Protac can enforce the ubiquitination and degradation of the α isoform of ER in vitro, and a dihydroxytestosterone-based Protac introduced into cells promotes the rapid disappearance of AR in a proteasome-dependent manner.

Induced protein degradation: an emerging drug discovery paradigm

TL;DR: Induced protein degradation has the potential to reduce systemic drug exposure, the ability to counteract increased target protein expression that often accompanies inhibition of protein function and the potential ability to target proteins that are not currently therapeutically tractable, such as transcription factors, scaffolding and regulatory proteins.

Hijacking the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Cereblon to Efficiently Target BRD4

TL;DR: ARV-825 is designed, a hetero-bifunctional PROTAC (Proteolysis Targeting Chimera) that recruits BRD4 to the E3 ubiquitin ligase cereblon, leading to fast, efficient, and prolonged degradation ofBRD4 in all BL cell lines tested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proteasome inhibitors in cancer therapy

TL;DR: Investigation of the mechanisms of resistance is essential to further maximize the utility of this class of drugs in the era of personalized medicine.

Selective Small Molecule Induced Degradation of the BET Bromodomain Protein BRD4

TL;DR: Proteolysis Targeted Chimeras (PROTACs) that tether JQ1 to a ligand for the E3 ubiquitin ligase VHL, aimed at triggering the intracellular destruction of BET proteins open up new opportunities to elucidate the cellular phenotypes and therapeutic implications associated with selective targeting of BRD4.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug discovery in the ubiquitin–proteasome system

TL;DR: Recent advances linking UPS components with specific human diseases, most prominently cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, are reviewed and potential sites of therapeutic intervention along the regulated protein-degradation pathway are emphasized.

Phosphorylation meets ubiquitination: the control of NF-[kappa]B activity.

TL;DR: Recent progress has been made in understanding the details of the signaling pathways that regulate NF-kappaB activity, particularly those responding to the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protacs: chimeric molecules that target proteins to the Skp1-Cullin-F box complex for ubiquitination and degradation.

TL;DR: It is shown that MetAP-2 can be tethered to SCFβ-TRCP, ubiquitinated, and degraded in a Protac-1-dependent manner, which may be useful for conditional inactivation of proteins, and for targeting disease-causing proteins for destruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

SCF and Cullin/RING H2-Based Ubiquitin Ligases

TL;DR: This review is focused on a conserved ubiquitin ligase complex known as SCF that plays a key role in marking a variety of regulatory proteins for destruction by the 26S proteasome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of Rpn11 Metalloprotease in Deubiquitination and Degradation by the 26S Proteasome

TL;DR: These findings reveal an unexpected coupling between substrate deubiquitination and degradation and suggest a unifying rationale for the presence of the lid in eukaryotic proteasomes.
