Novel approaches for the rational design of PROTAC linkers
Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) represent a promising class of hetero-bivalent molecules that facilitate ubiquitination of a target protein by simultaneously binding and bringing together both the E3 enzyme and the target.

Recruitment of Cbl-b to B cell antigen receptor couples antigen recognition to Toll-like receptor 9 activation in late endosomes. [PDF]
Casitas B-lineage lymphoma-b (Cbl-b) is a ubiquitin ligase (E3) that modulates signaling by tagging molecules for degradation. It is a complex protein with multiple domains and binding partners that are not involved in ubiquitinating substrates.

Exploring the Target Scope of KEAP1 E3 Ligase-based PROTACs
SUMMARY: Targeted protein degradation (TPD) uses small molecules to recruit E3 ubiquitin ligases into proximity of proteins of interest, inducing ubiquitination-dependent degradation.

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are novel therapeutics for the treatment of human disease. They exploit the enormous potential of the E3 ligases, a class of proteins that mark a target protein for degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are a promising therapeutic strategy to selectively promote the degradation of protein targets by exploiting the ubiquitin‐proteasome system. Among the limited number of E3 ligase ligands discovered for the PROTAC

Functional Diversity and Structural Disorder in the Human Ubiquitination Pathway [PDF]
The ubiquitin-proteasome system plays a central role in cellular regulation and protein quality control (PQC). The system is built as a pyramid of increasing complexity, with two E1 (ubiquitin activating), few dozen E2 (ubiquitin conjugating) and several

Sweet and Blind Spots in E3 Ligase Ligand Space Revealed by a Thermophoresis-Based Assay [PDF]
Abstract Repurposing E3 ubiquitin ligases for targeted protein degradation via customized molecular glues or proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) is an increasingly important therapeutic modality. Currently, a major limitation in the design of suitable molecular glues and PROTACs is our fragmentary understanding of E3 ligases and ...

Inhibition of PDGF-B induction and cell growth by syndecan-1 involves the ubiquitin and SUMO-1 ligase, Topors. [PDF]
Syndecans are receptors for soluble ligands, including heparin-binding growth factors, and matrix proteins. However, intracellular targets of syndecan-1 (Sdc-1)-mediated signaling are not fully understood. A yeast two-hybrid protein interaction screening

Structure-based design of a phosphotyrosine-masked covalent ligand targeting the E3 ligase SOCS2
Abstract The Src homology 2 (SH2) domain recognizes phosphotyrosine (pY) post translational modifications in partner proteins to trigger downstream signaling. Drug discovery efforts targeting the SH2 domains have long been stymied by the poor drug-like properties of phosphate and its mimetics.
