MZP-54 is a Selective BRD3/4 PROTAC Degrader

PROTACs are bivalent chemical protein degraders. In particular, PROTACs degrade a specific endogenous protein of interest (POI) by harnessing the E3 ubiquitin ligase pathway. Especially, PROTACs is a powerful small-molecule approach for inducing protein degradation. Moreover, PROTACs conjugate a target warhead to an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand via a...

BETd-260 is a Potent PROTAC BET Degrader

The bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family proteins consist of BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, and testis-specific BRDT members. They are epigenetic “readers” and play a key role in the regulation of gene transcription. BET proteins are attractive therapeutic targets for cancer and other human diseases. In this study, BETd-260 is capable...

ZXH-3-26 is a Selective PROTAC BRD4 Degrader

Targeting protein degradation refers to small molecule induces ubiquitination and degradation of disease targets. These small molecules simultaneously recruit both a ubiquitin E3 ligase and the target protein, then to be ubiquitinated. Therefore, PROTACs represent a functional application of chemically induced protein dimerization. BRD4 acts as an attractive target...

KB02-JQ1 is a Highly Potent and Selective PROTAC BRD4 Degrader

DDB1-CUL4-associated protein 16 (DCAF16) is a 216 aa protein that is highly conserved across mammals, but absent from rodents. The DCAF16 protein has eight cysteine residues, including a cluster of four cysteines between amino acids 173-179. Especially, DCAF16 is a substrate recognition component of CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin ligases. DCAF16...
