Small-molecule heterobifunctional degraders can effectively control protein levels and are useful research tools. We assembled proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) from a cereblon (CRBN) and a von-Hippel-Lindau (VHL) ligase ligand and demonstrated a PROTAC-induced heterodimerization of the two E3 ligases leading to unidirectional and efficient degradation of CRBN.
小分子杂双功能降解剂可以有效地控制蛋白质水平,是非常有用的研究工具。我们从 cereblon (CRBN) 和 von-Hippel-Lindau (VHL) 连接酶配体组装了蛋白水解靶向嵌合体 (PROTACs),并证明了 PROTAC 诱导的两种 E3 连接酶的杂二聚化导致 CRBN 的单向和有效降解。
