Impact of PROTAC Linker Plasticity on the Solution Conformations and Dissociation of the Ternary Complex

Dhanushka Weerakoon et al.

Summary: In this study, the conformational behavior of two PROTACs, MZ1 and dBET6, was investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations revealed different linker conformational behaviors and a tendency towards an intramolecular lipophilic interaction between the two warheads. The dissociation mechanism of the von Hippel-Lindau-MZ1-BRD4 complex was also studied and shown to follow a two-step pathway.

Discovery of Potent, Selective, and In Vivo Efficacious AKT Kinase Protein Degraders via Structure-Activity Relationship Studies

Xufen Yu et al.

Summary: In this study, we reported a potent AKT degrader MS21 and its structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Additionally, we discovered another VHL-recruiting AKT degrader MS143 with similar efficacy as MS21, as well as a novel CRBN-recruiting PROTAC MS5033. These compounds effectively degraded AKT by hijacking the ubiquitin-proteasome system and showed significant inhibition of cell growth in multiple cancer cell lines. Furthermore, they exhibited good plasma exposure levels in mice and were suitable for in vivo studies.

Integrative Modeling of PROTAC-Mediated Ternary Complexes

Gaoqi Weng et al.

Summary: Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) represent an emerging drug discovery technology that selectively induce targeted protein degradation. PROTAC-Model, an integrative computational method, was developed to predict PROTAC-mediated ternary complex structures and showed better performance in rational design of PROTACs.

Rationalizing PROTAC-Mediated Ternary Complex Formation Using Rosetta

Nan Bai et al.

Summary: PROTACs are molecules that induce target protein degradation by combining a target-binding warhead with an E3 ligase-recruiting moiety. A structure-based computational method has been developed to evaluate the suitability of linkers for ternary complex formation, which can explain PROTACs' activity and selectivity. Modeling ternary complex formation can help interpret PROTAC activity and reveal different binding modes within structurally conserved protein families.

Discovery and resistance mechanism of a selective CDK12 degrader

Baishan Jiang et al.

Summary: CDK12 is a promising therapeutic target for regulating DNA damage response genes transcription, but selective small molecule development has been hindered by its homology with other transcriptional CDKs. A CDK12-specific degrader, BSJ-4-116, was successfully designed and characterized, which selectively degraded CDK12 and resulted in premature cleavage and poly(adenylation) of DDR genes.

Unraveling the Role of Linker Design in Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras

Troy A. Bemis et al.

Summary: A current bottleneck in the development of PROTACs is the empirical nature of linker length structure-activity relationships. A multi-disciplinary approach has been detailed to alleviate this bottleneck. Research has focused on synthetic approaches to increase throughput, advances in structural biology and computational chemistry for rational PROTAC design, and de novo linker design in silico.

Jinxin Che et al.

Summary: Inhibiting Akt2 isozyme may lead to keratinocyte apoptosis, driving the search for new selective Akt inhibitors with improved cutaneous safety. After optimization, Hu7691 shows promising selectivity, low apoptosis induction in keratinocytes, and excellent anticancer cell proliferation potency, leading to its approval by NMPA for clinical trials.

E3 Ligase Ligands in Successful PROTACs: An Overview of Syntheses and Linker Attachment Points

Alesa Bricelj et al.

Summary: PROTACs, as a new and exciting class of therapeutic agents, consist of target binding units, linkers, and E3 ligase binding moieties, leading to ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins through the chemically-induced formation of ternary complexes. This review provides in-depth analysis on the synthetic preparation of functionalized ligands for relevant E3 ligases, highlighting the importance of understanding preparative routes and chemistry of linker attachment for the assembly of final PROTACs.

Targeted degradation of the enhancer lysine acetyltransferases CBP and p300

Raghu Vannam et al.

Summary: The study presents a chemical degrader of p300/CBP, dCBP-1, designed by leveraging structures of ligand-bound p300/CBP through in silico modeling of ternary complex formation. It is exceptionally potent at killing multiple myeloma cells and can abolish the enhancer driving oncogene expression. This efficient degrader provides a useful tool for dissecting the mechanism by which these factors coordinate enhancer activity in normal and diseased cells, alongside domain inhibitors.

E3 Ligase Ligands for PROTACs: How They Were Found and How to Discover New Ones

Tasuku Ishida et al.

Summary: PROTACs, or bifunctional degrader molecules, are a novel approach for understanding and treating human diseases by targeting specific proteins for degradation. Advances in nonpeptidic small-molecule E3 ligase ligands, such as VHL and CRBN, have revolutionized the field and led to the development of drug-like PROTACs with powerful degradation capabilities. Ongoing research aims to expand the chemical diversity of PROTACs and explore new approaches for targeted protein degradation.
