PROTACs: past, present and future.

Ke Li, +1 more
TL;DR: Important milestones are highlighted and lessons learned about targeted protein degradation (TPD) in recent years are discussed and conjecture on the efforts still needed to expand the toolbox for PROTAC discovery to ultimately provide promising therapeutics are conjecture.

PROTACs: great opportunities for academia and industry (an update from 2020 to 2021)

TL;DR: Proteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) technology is a new protein-degradation strategy that has emerged in recent years as discussed by the authors , which uses bifunctional small molecules to induce the ubiquitination and degradation of target proteins through a ubiquitin-proteasome system.
Journal ArticleDOI

E3 ligase ligand chemistries: from building blocks to protein degraders.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of liganded E3 ligases, their chemistries, appropriate derivatisation, and synthetic approaches towards their incorporation into heterobifunctional degraders can serve as a chemistry blueprint for PROTAC researchers during their future ventures into the complex field of targeted protein degradation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemistries of bifunctional PROTAC degraders.

TL;DR: This review highlights the important advances in this rapidly growing field and critical limitations of the traditional trial-and-error approach to developing PROTACs by analyzing numerous representative examples of Protolysis targeting chimeras development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical considerations for the design of PROTACs in cancer

TL;DR: In this article , the authors reviewed the current development stage of PROTACs in cancer to categorize the best PROTAC construction and showed that most ligases evaluated were not highly present in tumors except for MDM2 in breast, lung, prostate and gastric cancer.

K-Ras(G12C) inhibitors allosterically control GTP affinity and effector interactions

TL;DR: The development of small molecules that irreversibly bind to a common oncogenic mutant, K-Ras(G12C) and structure-based validation of a new allosteric regulatory site on Ras that is targetable in a mutant-specific manner are provided.

Quantitative reactivity profiling predicts functional cysteines in proteomes

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that quantitative reactivity profiling can form the basis for screening and functional assignment of cysteines in computationally designed proteins, where it discriminated catalytically active from inactive cysteine hydrolase designs.

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.

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.
