Covalently Engineered Nanobody Chimeras for Targeted Membrane Protein Degradation

Heng Zhang et al.

Summary: The study introduces a covalent nanobody-based PROTAC strategy named GlueTAC for targeted membrane protein degradation with high specificity and efficiency. By developing a mass-spectrometry-based screening platform, a covalent nanobody (GlueBody) was created for proximity-enabled cross-linking with surface antigens on cancer cells, leading to the internalization and degradation of PD-L1 by the resulting GlueTAC chimera.

Trivalent PROTACs enhance protein degradation via combined avidity and cooperativity

Satomi Imaide et al.

Summary: Tri-valent PROTACs with increased binding valency enhance protein degradation efficacy and anti-cancer activity, forming highly stable ternary complexes with positive cooperativity. SIM1 engages with both BET bromodomains with high avidity and forms a productive 1:1:1 complex with VHL, demonstrating prolonged residence time and improved functional outcomes.

Rational Design and Synthesis of Novel Dual PROTACs for Simultaneous Degradation of EGFR and PARP

Mengzhu Zheng et al.

Summary: Inspired by the success of dual-targeting drugs, the study combines the concept of PROTAC and dual targeting to design and synthesize dual PROTAC molecules, which can degrade two different targets simultaneously. Novel dual-targeting PROTAC molecules have been successfully prepared and demonstrated to degrade both EGFR and PARP in cancer cells, expanding the application of PROTAC method in drug discovery.

Targeted degradation of transcription factors by TRAFTACs: TRAnscription Factor TArgeting Chimeras

Kusal T. G. Samarasinghe et al.

Summary: The study introduces TRAnscription Factor TArgeting Chimeras (TRAFTACs) as a generalizable strategy for targeted transcription factor degradation, demonstrating successful degradation of oncogenic DNA-binding proteins NF-kB and brachyury. The findings suggest TRAFTAC technology could be a promising approach for inducing degradation of other transcription factors both in vitro and in vivo.
