Hijacking the MDM2 E3 Ligase with novel BRD4‐Targeting PROTACs in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

open access: yesChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
The phenotypic effect induced by a Proteolysis‐Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) can depend on several factors, including the E3 ligase recruited. For the discovery of a first‐in‐class PROTAC for a target of interest, the E3 ligases commonly hijacked remain the Von Hippel‐Lindau (VHL) and Cereblon (CRBN) since potent and accessible ligands are readily ...

Proline Amide Catalyzes Formation of Toxic Crotonaldehyde from Acetaldehyde Under Physiologically Relevant Conditions

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Crotonaldehyde‐derived DNA lesions are reported in patients after ethanol exposure, which implies that crotonaldehyde is produced after ethanol ingestion. Here, we show that proline amide, which mimics N‐terminal proline residues on human proteins, can catalyze crotonaldehyde formation from the ethanol metabolite acetaldehyde under physiologically ...

Diversity of ThDP‐Dependent Enzymes Forming Chiral Tertiary Alcohols

open access: yesChemBioChem, EarlyView.
Chiral tertiary alcohols are widespread in nature and bioactive compounds; however, their asymmetric synthesis faces several challenges. This review outlines the toolbox of ThDP‐dependent enzymes able to produce tertiary alcohols through the formation of CC bond formation using ketones as acceptor substrates. Herein, the substrate scope, the diversity

Activity‐enhancing mutations in an LmrR‐based artificial metalloenzyme destabilize the protein scaffold and alter its conformational plasticity

open access: yesChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
Artificial metalloenzymes (ArM) hold great potential for the sustainable catalysis of complex new‐to‐nature reactions. To efficiently improve the catalytic efficacy of ArMs a rational approach is desirable, requiring detailed molecular insight into their conformational landscape.

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality

open access: yesChemBioChem, Accepted Article.
Organisms use amino acids predominantly in l‐configuration. On the other hand, a series of studies show that a variety of d‐amino acids also occur in mammals and amino acid homochirality is not complete. Mammals de novo synthesize most amino acids with l‐configuration, but serine and aspartate are converted from l‐ to d‐configuration by endogenous ...
