The Potential of Proteolytic Chimeras as Pharmacological Tools and Therapeutic Agents

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
The induction of protein degradation in a highly selective and efficient way by means of druggable molecules is known as targeted protein degradation (TPD).

Discovery of E3 Ligase Ligands for Target Protein Degradation

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
Target protein degradation has emerged as a promising strategy for the discovery of novel therapeutics during the last decade. Proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) harnesses a cellular ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis system for the efficient ...

The epigenetic control of E-box and Myc-dependent chromatin modifications regulate the licensing of lamin B2 origin during cell cycle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Recent genome-wide mapping of the mammalian replication origins has suggested the role of transcriptional regulatory elements in origin activation. However, the nature of chromatin modifications associated with such trans-factors or epigenetic marks ...

Extracellular Vesicles Modulation by an Adiponectin Receptor Agonist Provides Cardioprotection for Myocardial Ischemic Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

Towards engineering hormone-binding globulins as drug delivery agents. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The treatment of many diseases such as cancer requires the use of drugs that can cause severe side effects. Off-target toxicity can often be reduced simply by directing the drugs specifically to sites of diseases.

PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) — Past, present and future

open access: yesDrug Discovery Today: Technologies, 2019
The majority of currently used therapeutics are small molecule-based and utilize occupancy-driven pharmacology as the mode of action (MOA), in which the protein function is modulated via temporary inhibition. New modalities that operate using alternative MOAs are essential for tapping into the "undruggable" proteome.

Fibrates Inhibit PLTP‐induced M2 Macrophage Infiltration and Increase the Sensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to ICIs

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Phospholipid transfer protein(PLTP) plays a critical role in forming a complex with kinase A (AURKA) and P65. This interaction facilitates phosphorylation of P65 at Ser536, leading to the activation of the NF‐κB signaling pathway. Ultimately, this leads to the upregulation of downstream cytokines, including IL‐6, IL‐8, and CSF‐1, which promotes M2 ...

CD36-mediated endocytosis of proteolysis-targeting chimeras

open access: yesCell
Passive diffusion does not explain why many drugs are too large and/or too polar for rule-breaking membrane penetration, such as proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs, generally of a molecular weight > 800 Da). Here, using biotinylated chemical-probe-based target fishing and genetic knockdown/knockin approaches, we discovered that the membrane ...

Targeting Lactate and Lactylation in Cancer Metabolism and Immunotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lactate, once deemed a metabolic waste, emerges as a central regulator of cancer progression. This review elucidates how lactate and its epigenetic derivative, protein lactylation, orchestrate tumor metabolism, immune suppression, and therapeutic resistance.
