We have designed a modular protein tagging system that allows different functionalities to be linked onto single genetic fusion, either in solution, living cells, or chemically fixed cells. The tag (HaloTag) is modified haloalkane dehalogenase covalently bind synthetic ligands (HaloTag ligands). comprise chloroalkane linker attached variety of useful molecules, such as fluorescent dyes, affinity handles, solid surfaces. Covalent bond formation between the and highly specific, occurs rapidly...

Bromodomain inhibitors revisited and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins contribute to the pathogenesis of cancer immune diseases through their effects on transcriptional regulation. BET contain two nearly identical bromodomains, BD1 BD2, structural modules that have attracted great interest as targets for drug development. First-generation drugs inhibited both BD2 showed promising therapeutic activity in preclinical models but proved be less efficacious clinical trials. Gilan et al. took a...

A new generation of heterobifunctional small molecules, termed proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs), targets proteins for degradation through recruitment to E3 ligases and holds significant therapeutic potential. Despite numerous successful examples, PROTAC molecule development remains laborious unpredictable, involving testing compounds end-point activity at fixed times concentrations without resolving or optimizing the important biological steps required process. Given complexity...

Abstract The histone acetyltransferases CBP/p300 are involved in recurrent leukemia-associated chromosomal translocations and key regulators of cell growth. Therefore, efforts to generate inhibitors clinical value. We developed a specific potent acetyl-lysine competitive protein–protein interaction inhibitor, I-CBP112, that targets the bromodomains. Exposure human mouse leukemic lines I-CBP112 resulted substantially impaired colony formation induced cellular differentiation without...

PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are hetero-bifunctional small molecules that can simultaneously recruit target proteins and E3 ligases to form a ternary complex, promoting protein ubiquitination degradation via the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System (UPS). PROTACs have gained increasing attention in recent years due certain advantages over traditional therapeutic modalities enabling targeting of previously "undruggable" proteins. To better understand mechanism PROTAC-induced Target Protein...

Molecular-glue degraders are small molecules that induce a specific interaction between an E3 ligase and target protein, resulting in the proteolysis. The discovery of molecular glue currently relies mostly on screening approaches. Here, we describe library cereblon (CRBN) ligands against panel patient-derived cancer cell lines, leading to SJ7095, potent degrader CK1α, IKZF1 IKZF3 proteins. Through structure-informed exploration structure activity relationship (SAR) around this molecule...

In April 2016, the Food and Drug Administration approved first biosimilar monoclonal antibody (mAb), Inflectra/Remsima (Celltrion), based off original product Remicade (infliximab, Janssen). Biosimilars promise significant cost savings for patients, but unavoidable differences between innovator copycat biologics raise questions regarding interchangeability. this study, Remsima were examined by native mass spectrometry, ion mobility, quantitative peptide mapping. The levels of oxidation,...

Identification of proteins resolved by SDS-PAGE depends on robust in-gel protein digestion and efficient peptide extraction, requirements that are often difficult to achieve. A lengthy laborious procedure is an additional challenge identification in gel. We show here with the use mass spectrometry compatible surfactant sodium 3-((1-(furan-2-yl)undecyloxy)carbonylamino)propane-1-sulfonate, challenges effectively addressed. Peptide quantitation based stable isotope labeling showed induced...

PROTACs usually occupy physicochemical space outside the one defined by classical drug-like molecules, which often presents considerable challenges in their optimization and development for oral administration. We have previously reported phenyl glutarimide (PG)-based BET PROTAC SJ995973, with improved overall vitro degradation antiproliferative activities compared to its direct thalidomide-based analogue dBET1, but similarly poor vivo pharmacokinetic profile. To further demonstrate PG...

Receptor-mediated antibody internalization is a key mechanism underlying several anti-cancer therapeutics. Delivering highly toxic drugs to cancer cells, as in the case of drug conjugates (ADCs), efficient removal surface receptors from cells and changing pharmacokinetics profile are some ways that impacts therapeutic efficacy antibodies. Over years, techniques have been used study including radiolabels, fluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry cellular toxicity assays. While these methods...

Targeted protein degradation using heterobifunctional proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds, which recruit E3 ligase machinery to a target protein, is increasingly becoming an attractive pharmacologic strategy. PROTAC compounds are often developed from existing inhibitors, and assessing selectivity critical for understanding on-target off-target degradation.

Abstract To assess the role of a protein, protein loss phenotypic studies can be used, most commonly through mutagenesis RNAi or CRISPR knockout. Such have been critical for understanding function and identification putative therapeutic targets numerous human disease states. However, these methodological approaches present challenges because they are not easily reversible, if an essential gene is targeted, associated cell viability potentially hinder further studies. Here we reversible...
