An AI-integrated workflow maps the latent interactome of molecular glue degraders

ABSTRACT: Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) are a transformative modality in drug discovery. MGDs that work in concert with the E3 ligase CRL4CRBN can degrade a wide range of substrates with the help of specially tailored MGDs. To explore CRL4CRBN reprogrammability, we tested whether reported CRBN-MGD substrates are part of a network of latent CRBN interactors, detectable already with generic CRBN-MGDs. Leveraging highly parallel interaction measurements (GluePCA) between CRL4CRBN and the family of human zinc-fingers (ZFs), we identified ~210 ZFs pre-bound to CRBN-pomalidomide, with the top binders reported as degradable through specific MGDs. To map latent CRBN-MGDs interactions proteome-wide, and thus define the immediately accessible CRBN target space, we combined AI-derived protein surface queries (MaSIF-mimicry) with GluePCA. This pipeline allowed identifying 43 novel CRBN-pomalidomide binders, thereby providing privileged starting points for MGD development. We expect this binding-focused, highly parallel, workflow to be readily applicable to other MGD/E3 ligase systems.

CC-122, a pleiotropic pathway modifier, mimics an interferon response and has antitumor activity in DLBCL

Project description:Cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex CRL4CRBN, is the target of the immunomodulatory drugs lenalidomide and pomalidomide. Recently, it was demonstrated that binding of these drugs to CRBN promotes the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of two common substrates, transcription factors Aiolos and Ikaros. Here we report that the pleiotropic pathway modifier CC-122, a new chemical entity termed pleiotropic pathway modifier binds CRBN and promotes degradation of Aiolos and Ikaros in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and T cells in vitro, in vivo and in patients, resulting in both cell autonomous as well as immunostimulatory effects. In DLBCL cell lines, CC-122-induced degradation or shRNA mediated knockdown of Aiolos and Ikaros correlates with increased transcription of interferon stimulated genes (ISGs) independent of interferon Î±, Î², Î³ production and/or secretion and results in apoptosis in both ABC and GCB-DLBCL cell lines. Our results provide mechanistic insight into the cell of origin independent anti-lymphoma activity of CC-122, in contrast to the ABC subtype selective activity of lenalidomide.

pSILAC mass spectrometry reveals ZFP91 as novel IMiD dependent substrate of the CRL4CRBN ligase

Project description:Thalidomide and its derivatives lenalidomide and pomalidomide (IMiDs) are effective treatments of hematologic malignancies. It was shown that IMiDs impart gain of function properties to the CUL4-RBX1-DDB1-CRBN (CRL4CRBN) ubiquitin ligase that enable binding, ubiquitination and degradation of key therapeutic targets such as IKFZ1, IKZF3 and CSNK1A1. While these substrates have been implicated as efficacy targets in multiple myeloma (MM) and 5q deletion associated myelodysplastic syndrome (del(5q)-MDS), other targets likely exist. Using a pulse-chase SILAC mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach, we demonstrate that lenalidomide induces the ubiquitination and degradation of ZFP91. We establish that ZFP91 is a bona fide IMiD dependent CRL4CRBN substrate and further show that ZFP91 harbors a zinc finger (ZnF) motif, related to the IKZF1/3 ZnF, critical for IMiD dependent CRBN binding. These findings demonstrate that single time point pulse-chase SILAC mass spectrometry-based proteomics (pSILAC-MS) is a sensitive approach for target identification of small molecules inducing selective protein degradation.

Molecular surface mimicry enables CRBN to target G3BP2 for degradation

Project description:Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) are small molecule compounds that repurpose the ubiquitin-proteasome system to induce degradation of challenging therapeutic targets. Thalidomide-analogs are clinically effective MGDs that bind cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor of the Cullin-4/RING E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRL4CRBN), and impose a gain-of-function activity to recruit, ubiquitinate and degrade so-called neosubstrate proteins. Known neosubstrates bind the CRBN/MGD neosurface on the CRBN CULT domain through a structural G-loop recognition motif that mimics contacts of a natural CRBN degron. Here we report the binding mode of G3BP2, a CRBN neosubstrate that bypasses the G-loop requirement by engaging an unconventional binding site on the CRBN LON domain. The MGD-induced ternary complex interface does not resemble known protein-protein interactions (PPI) with CRBN. Instead, CRBN mimics an endogenous binding partner of G3BP2 and repurposes a preexisting PPI hotspot on the target protein. Our findings provide a novel generalizable concept for the rationalization of unconventional neosubstrate binding modes on CRBN, demonstrate unprecedented potential for the reprogrammability of this substrate receptor by MGDs, and offer opportunities for rational expansion of the target repertoire accessible to this modality.

Expanding the zinc-finger proteins accessible to drug-induced degradation by CRBN.

Project description:Glutarimide analogs, including thalidomide, redirect the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4CRBN to induce the ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation of specific zinc finger (ZF) proteins. While the core structural motif recognized by CRBN is known, it alone does not account for the full specificity of substrate recognition. To understand the impact of residues adjacent to the core motif, we constructed a comprehensive ZF reporter library including all single ZFs and tandem ZF pairs in the human proteome totaling 9,097 reporters from 1,655 ZF-containing proteins. We performed a library-on-library screen of 29 glutarimide analogs against this ZF library identifying compounds that collectively degrade 38 ZF reporters. Cryo-electron microscopy and crystal structures of wild-type and mutant ZFs in complex with CRBN highlighted the significance of contacts outside the core ZF degron. We conducted systematic mutagenesis of both the ZFs and CRBN to investigate the role of individual amino acids and discovered that residues adjacent to the core ZF degron affect degradability, with single amino acid changes dictating drug specificity. The studies reveal subtle chemical differences between glutarimide analogs that significantly broaden the target scope and redefine target selectivity. This study catalogs the scope of degradable ZF targets, including disease-driving transcription factors, and defines modes of neosubstrate recruitment enabling the rational design of glutarimide analogs.

Expanding the set of zinc finger proteins accessible to drug-induced protein degradation by CRBN

Project description:Glutarimide analogs, including thalidomide, redirect the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4CRBN to induce the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of specific zinc finger (ZF) proteins. While the core structural motif recognized by CRBN is characterized, it alone does not account for the full specificity of substrate recognition. To understand the impact of residues adjacent to the core motif, we constructed an extended ZF reporter library including all single ZFs and tandem ZF pairs in the human proteome totaling to 9,098 reporters from 1,655 ZF-containing proteins. We screened the activity of 29 glutarimide analogs against this ZF library leading to the identification and validation of compounds that collectively degrade 38 ZF reporters. High resolution cryo-electron microscopy and crystal structures of wild-type and mutant ZFs complexed with CRBN highlighted the significance of contacts outside the core ZF degron. We conducted systematic mutagenesis of both the ZFs and CRBN to investigate the role of individual amino acids and discovered that residues adjacent to the core ZF degron affect degradability, with single amino acid changes dictating drug specificity. Finally, we identified subtle chemical differences between glutarimide analogs that drastically broaden the target scope and redefine target selectivity. This study expands the scope of degradable ZF targets, including disease-driving transcription factors and provides a roadmap for the rational design of glutarimide analogs.

Interactome of Aiolos/Ikaros Reveals Combination Rationale of Cereblon Modulators with HDAC Inhibitors in DLBCL

Project description:Purpose: Cereblon (CRBN), a substrate receptor of the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex CRL4CRBN, is the target of the small molecules lenalidomide (Len) and avadomide (Ava). Upon binding of the drugs, Aiolos and Ikaros are recruited to the E3 ligase, ubiquitylated and subsequently degraded. In DLBCL cells, Aiolos and Ikaros are direct transcriptional repressors of interferon stimulated genes (ISG) and degradation of these substrates results in increased ISG protein levels resulting in decreased proliferation and apoptosis. Herein, we aimed to uncover the mechanism(s) Aiolos and Ikaros use to repress ISG transcription and provide a mechanistic rationale for a combination strategy enhance cell autonomous activites of CELMoDs. Results: We describe that in DLBCL, the repression of ISG transcription is accomplished in part through recruitment of large transcriptional complexes such as the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) which modify the chromatin landscape of these promoters. A rational combination approach of Ava with a specific HDAC inhibitor leads to a significant increase in ISG transcription compared to either single agent, and synergistic antiproliferative activity in DLBCL cell lines. Conclusion: Our results provide a novel role for lineage factors Aiolos and Ikaros in DLBCL as well as further insight into the mechanism(s) of Aiolos and Ikaros mediated transcriptional repression and unique therapeutic combination strategies.

Cereblon expression is required for the anti-myeloma activity of lenalidomide and pomalidomide [expression profiling]

Project description:The precise molecular mechanism of action and targets through which thalidomide and related immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) exert their anti-tumor effects remains unclear. We investigated the role of cereblon (CRBN), a primary teratogenic target of thalidomide, in the anti-myeloma activity of IMiDs. CRBN depletion is initially cytotoxic to human myeloma cells but surviving cells with stable CRBN depletion become highly resistant to both lenalidomide and pomalidomide, but not to the unrelated drugs bortezomib, dexamethasone and melphalan. Acquired deletion of CRBN was found to be the primary genetic event differentiating isogenic MM1.S cell lines cultured to be sensitive or resistant to lenalidomide and pomalidomide. Gene expression changes induced by lenalidomide were dramatically suppressed in the presence of CRBN depletion further demonstrating that CRBN is required for lenalidomide activity. Downstream targets of CRBN include interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) previously reported to also be a target of lenalidomide. Patients exposed to and putatively resistant to lenalidomide had lower CRBN levels in paired samples before and after therapy. In summary, CRBN is an essential requirement for IMiD activity, and a possible biomarker for the clinical assessment of anti-myeloma efficacy. We included 15 samples from multiple myeloma cell lines.
