A New Recruitable E3 Ligase UHRF1 Supporting Targeted Protein Degradation: A Minimal Azide as a Recruitment Ligand. [PDF]
Targeted protein degradation is often limited by the scarcity of usable E3 ligases. Herein, we report the first small‐molecule GPX4 degraders that incorporate either electrophilic warheads or a minimal azide group as an E3 recruitment ligand. The azide‐based degrader DK‐5070 effectively drives potent GPX4 degradation; mechanistic studies reveal that ...

The Modulatory Effect of Liraglutide on the Expression of GPX4, HO-1 and SLC7A11 Signaling Pathway in Obese Rats [PDF]
Background: Obesity, a multifaceted metabolic condition, is associated with oxidative stress and disrupted redox homeostasis, leading to ferroptosis and metabolic dysfunction. Liraglutide, a well-known glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, is

A mTORC1-mediated cyst(e)ine sensing mechanism governing GPX4 synthesis and ferroptosis
Ferroptosis is a cell death mechanism triggered by lipid peroxidation. Our recent study linked cyst(e)ine availability with glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) protein synthesis and ferroptosis mitigation via a Rag-mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 ...

Selenium and GPX4, a vital symbiosis
Selenium has transitioned from an environmental poison and carcinogen to an essential micronutrient associated with a broad array of health promoting effects. These beneficial effects are now accepted to be linked to its incorporation into selenoproteins, a family of rare proteins utilizing a specialized translation machinery to integrate selenium in ...

Degrading GPX4 via Biomimetic Nanoparticle-Mediated In Situ Synthesis of Deep-Learning-Designed Binder-Degron Chimeras for Prostate Cancer Therapy. [PDF]
A deep‐learning‐designed binder is fused to a combinatorial degron to create a binder‐degron chimera (bdC) that recruits the CUL2‐RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Encapsulation in a prostate‐cancer‐targeted, CD47‐camouflaged nanocarrier enables tumor‐specific in situ bdC expression, triggering GPX4 degradation and ferroptosis, thereby establishing a ...

Selective covalent targeting of GPX4 using masked nitrile-oxide electrophiles
We recently described glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) as a promising target for killing therapy-resistant cancer cells via ferroptosis. The onset of therapy resistance by multiple types of treatment results in a stable cell state marked by high levels of

Ferroptosis induced by GPX4 inhibition offers promise for killing drug-resistant cancer cells, yet current GPX4 inhibitors lack selectivity. The discovery of masked nitrile oxide electrophiles as selective prodrug inhibitors of GPX4 points to an attractive path for chemically inducing ferroptosis.
