Article Abstract

Here we describe ProtacID, a flexible BioID (proximity-dependent biotinylation)-based approach to identify PROTAC-proximal proteins in living cells. ProtacID analysis of VHL- and CRBN-recruiting PROTACs targeting a number of different proteins (localized to chromatin or cellular membranes, and tested across six different human cell lines) demonstrates how this technique can be used to validate PROTAC degradation targets and identify non-productive (i.e. non-degraded) PROTAC-interacting proteins, addressing a critical need in the field of PROTAC development. We also demonstrate that ProtacID can be used to characterize native, endogenous multiprotein complexes without the use of antibodies, or modification of the protein of interest with epitope tags or biotin ligase tagging.

Antibody Therapies for Alzheimer's Disease: A New Strategy for Targeted Therapy and Blood-Brain Barrier Delivery.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive impairment and neuronal loss, with pathological hallmarks including Aβ plaque deposition and tau tangles. At present, the early diagnosis and treatment of AD still face great challenges, such as limited diagnostic methods, difficulty in blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetration, complex disease mechanisms, and lack of highly effective targeted therapies. Antibody drugs have shown broad prospects in the field of AD due to their high specificity, engineering and multifunctional therapeutic potential, include targeted Aβ clearance, tau pathological regulation, imaging probes, and blood biomarkers.

The persistent residual tumor cells that survive after chemotherapy are a major cause of treatment failure, but their survival mechanisms remain largely elusive. These cancer cells are typically characterized by a quiescent state with suppressed activity of MYC and MTOR. We observed that the MYC-suppressed persistent triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells are metabolically flexible and can upregulate mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes and respiratory function ("OXPHOS-high" cell state) in response to DNA-damaging anthracyclines such as doxorubicin, but not to taxanes.

Solute carrier transporters (SLCs) are integral membrane proteins that play pivotal roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis by mediating the transport of a diverse range of substrates across cell membranes. With their involvement in fundamental physiological processes such as nutrient uptake, neurotransmitter signaling, and drug transport, SLCs have emerged as crucial players in health and disease. Dysregulation of SLC function has been implicated in a spectrum of disorders, including metabolic diseases, cancer, and neurological afflictions.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is a promising modality that leverages the endogenous cellular protein degradation machinery to degrade selected proteins. Recently, we validated CUL3 E3 ligase as a new actionable E3 ligase for TPD application by developing a synthetic macrocycle ligand to engage KLHL20. Linking the KLHL20 ligand to JQ1, we created the PROTAC molecule BTR2004, which exhibited potent degradation of BET family proteins BRD 2, 3, and 4.

Targeted protein degradation is a powerful therapeutic approach: expanding the druggable proteome, providing enhanced selectivity, and having the ability to overcome conventional resistance mechanisms. A major class of such molecules is proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs). PROTACs are catalytic heterobifunctional small molecules that simultaneously bind a protein of interest (POI) and an E3 ligase.
