Targeted Degradation of PRC1 Components, BMI1 and RING1B, via a Novel Protein Complex Degrader Strategy

Kwang-Su Park et al.

Summary: The study discovered MS147, the first degrader of PRC1 core components BMI1 and RING1B, through a novel protein complex degradation strategy. MS147 degrades BMI1 and RING1B by binding to an EED small-molecule binder linked to the E3 ligase von Hippel-Lindau (VHL), effectively reducing the level of H2AK119ub and inhibiting the proliferation of cancer cell lines insensitive to PRC2 inhibitors/degraders.

Functional E3 ligase hotspots and resistance mechanisms to small-molecule degraders

Alexander Hanzl et al.

Summary: This study utilizes haploid genetics to demonstrate that hotspot mutations cluster in substrate receptors of hijacked ligases, where mutation type and frequency correlate with gene essentiality. The intersection with deep mutational scanning reveals hotspots that are conserved or specific for chemically distinct degraders and targets, and the biophysical and structural validation suggests that hotspot mutations frequently converge on altered ternary complex assembly. Moreover, hotspots mutated in patients that relapse from degrader treatment are validated.

Bridged Proteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) Enables Degradation of Undruggable Targets

Yan Xiong et al.

Summary: Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are effective for degrading disease-causing proteins. A novel approach called bridged PROTAC has been developed to target undruggable proteins by bringing the protein complex close to an E3 ubiquitin ligase using a small molecule binder of the target protein's binding partner. This approach has led to the discovery of MS28, the first-in-class degrader of cyclin D1, and it shows superior degradation efficiency and proliferation inhibition compared to CDK4/6 inhibitors and degraders. The bridged PROTAC strategy could serve as a generalizable platform for targeting undruggable proteins.

Development of photocontrolled BRD4 PROTACs for tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC)

Zhenzhen Li et al.

Summary: The catalytic properties of small-molecule proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) may lead to uncontrolled degradation. The main disadvantages of PROTACs are non-cancer specificity and relatively high toxicity, which limit their clinical application. Photocontrolled PROTACs (photoPROTACs) can be triggered by ultraviolet A (UVA) or visible light to induce the degradation of the target protein. A study successfully designed photoPROTACs to degrade bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) using 365 nm light, with compound N2 proving effective in inducing BRD4 degradation and inhibiting tumor growth in a zebrafish xenograft model of skin cancer tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) in a photocontrol manner.
