Heterobifunctional molecules, such as proteolysis-targeting and autophagy-targeting chimera, represent new drug concepts. They are composed of two protein binders that can induce proximity interactions between two proteins and protein catalysis. Currently, cereblon (CRBN)- and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL)-binders with thalidomide- and VH032-backbones are widely used as E3 ligase binders. Here, we developed a method to validate proteins that interact with heterobifunctional molecules in cells using AirID, a proximity biotinylation enzyme. Interactome of target proteins was validated for six heterobifunctional molecules. ThBD-AirID, a fusion of the thalidomide-binding domain (ThBD) of CRBN and AirID, effectively biotinylated the target proteins. AirID fused to full-length VHL also exhibited highly effective biotinylation. Heterobifunctional molecules with the same target binder but different E3 binders showed different proximity interactome profiles in cells. Analysis using ThBD-AirID revealed a nuclear interaction between androgen receptor and ARV-110. AirID-fused ThBD and VHL could be useful for validating the heterobifunctional molecular interactome in cells.
异双功能分子,如蛋白酶体靶向嵌合体和自噬靶向嵌合体,代表了新的药物概念。它们由两种蛋白质结合剂组成,可诱导两种蛋白质之间的邻近相互作用和蛋白质催化作用。目前,以沙利度胺和VH032为骨架的cereblon(CRBN)结合剂和von Hippel-Lindau(VHL)结合剂被广泛用作E3连接酶结合剂。在此,我们开发了一种方法,利用邻近生物素化酶AirID来验证细胞中与异双功能分子相互作用的蛋白质。对六种异双功能分子的靶蛋白相互作用组进行了验证。ThBD-AirID是CRBN的沙利度胺结合域(ThBD)与AirID的融合蛋白,可有效地将靶蛋白生物素化。与全长VHL融合的AirID也表现出高效的生物素化作用。具有相同靶结合剂但不同E3结合剂的异双功能分子在细胞中显示出不同的邻近相互作用组谱。使用ThBD-AirID进行的分析揭示了雄激素受体与ARV-110之间的核相互作用。与AirID融合的ThBD和VHL可用于验证细胞中的异双功能分子相互作用组。
