SPR-measured dissociation kinetics of PROTAC ternary complexes influence target degradation rate [PDF]
Bifunctional degrader molecules, known as proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs), function by recruiting a target to an E3 ligase, forming a target/PROTAC/ligase ternary complex.

Enhanced thrombin generation in patients with cirrhosis-induced coagulopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Prothrombin time (PT) and the international normalized ratio (INR) are still routinely measured in patients with liver cirrhosis to 'assess' their bleeding risk despite the lack of correlation with the two. Thrombin generation (TG) assays are

Inhibition of bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) proteins increases NKG2D ligand MICA expression and sensitivity to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity in multiple myeloma cells. role of cMYC-IRF4-miR-125b interplay [PDF]
Background: Anticancer immune responses may contribute to the control of tumors after conventional chemotherapy and different observations have indicated that chemotherapeutic agents can induce immune responses resulting in cancer cell death and immune ...

Molecular recognition of ternary complexes:a new dimension in the structure-guided design of chemical degraders [PDF]
Molecular glues and bivalent inducers of protein degradation (also known as PROTACs) represent a fascinating new modality in pharmacotherapeutics: the potential to knockdown previously thought ‘undruggable’ targets at sub-stoichiometric concentrations in

PROTACs: A novel strategy for cancer drug discovery and development
Proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) technology has become a powerful strategy in drug discovery, especially for undruggable targets/proteins. A typical PROTAC degrader consists of three components: a small molecule that binds to a target protein, an ...

Non-small molecule PROTACs (NSM-PROTACs): Protein degradation kaleidoscope
The proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) technology has been rapidly developed since its birth in 2001, attracting rapidly growing attention of scientific institutes and pharmaceutical companies. At present, a variety of small molecule PROTACs have entered the clinical trial.

Structural basis of PROTAC cooperative recognition for selective protein degradation [PDF]
Inducing macromolecular interactions with small molecules to activate cellular signaling is a challenging goal. PROTACs (proteolysis-targeting chimeras) are bifunctional molecules that recruit a target protein in proximity to an E3 ubiquitin ligase to ...

Protacs for Treatment of Cancer [PDF]
Protein degradation is the cell's mechanism of eliminating misfolded or unwanted proteins. The pathway by which proteins are degraded occurs through the ubiquitin-proteasome system. Ubiquitin is a small 9-kD (kDa) protein that is attached to proteins. A minimum of four ubiquitins are required for proteins to be recognized by the degradation machinery ...

PROTACs– a game-changing technology [PDF]
Introduction: Proteolysis - targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have emerged as a new modality with the potential to revolutionize drug discovery. PROTACs are heterobifunctional molecules comprising of a ligand targeting a protein of interest, a ligand targeting an E3 ligase and a connecting linker.

Ubistatins Inhibit Proteasome-Dependent Degradation by Binding the Ubiquitin Chain [PDF]
To identify previously unknown small molecules that inhibit cell cycle machinery, we performed a chemical genetic screen in Xenopus extracts. One class of inhibitors, termed ubistatins, blocked cell cycle progression by inhibiting cyclin B proteolysis ...
