DCAF11-dependent molecular glue degrader activated by glutathionylation

ABSTRACT: Targeted protein degradation is a powerful pharmacological strategy that harnesses the ubiquitin proteasome system to eliminate disease-relevant proteins, including otherwise undruggable proteins. Here, we report an unbiased and broadly applicable platform for the systematic discovery of molecular glues across diverse E3 ligases. Using multiplexed mass spectrometry-based chemical screening, we identified a molecular glue, M12, that reprograms the E3 ligase DCAF11 to degrade DDX18. We found that M12 functions as a prodrug, activated by glutathionylation. The glutathione moiety then directly engages DCAF11, enabling neo-substrate recruitment. We demonstrate that this mechanism readily enables targeted degradation of a range of proteins. Our studies highlight a novel approach to redirect E3 ligase function through an enzyme-activated small molecule, expanding the scope of targeted protein degradation and chemically induced proximity.

A Kinetic Scout Approach Accelerates Targeted Protein Degrader Discovery

Project description:Bifunctional molecules such as targeted protein degraders induce proximity to promote gain-of-function pharmacology. These powerful approaches have gained broad traction across academia and the pharmaceutical industry, leading to an intensive focus on strategies that can accelerate their identification and optimization. We and others have previously used chemical proteomics to map degradable target space, and these datasets have been used to develop and train multiparameter models to extend degradability predictions across the proteome. In this study, we now turn our attention to develop generalizable chemistry strategies to accelerate the development of new bifunctional degraders. We implement lysine-targeted reversible-covalent chemistry to rationally tune the binding kinetics at the protein-of-interest across a set of 25 targets. We define an unbiased workflow consisting of global proteomics analysis, IP/MS of ternary complexes and the E-STUB assay, to mechanistically characterize the effects of ligand residence time on targeted protein degradation and formulate hypotheses about the rate-limiting step of degradation for each target. Our key finding is that target residence time is a major determinant of degrader activity, and this can be rapidly and rationally tuned through the synthesis of a minimal number of analogues to accelerate early degrader discovery and optimization efforts.

Comprehensive profiling of degrader-protein interactions

Project description:Targeted protein degradation and induced proximity refer to strategies that leverage the recruitment of proteins to facilitate their modification, regulation or degradation. As the complexity of degraders becomes apparent, advances in unbiased methodology are needed to unveil hidden chemical targets. Here we establish a high throughput affinity purification mass spectrometry workflow in cell lysates for the unbiased identification of degrader interactomes. We map the targets of 20 IMiD analogs identifying 298 proteins as chemically recruited to cereblon and demonstrate the power of enrichment methods for identifying novel protein targets that are overlooked using global whole cell screening methods. We use a computational workflow to estimate target confidence and perform a biochemical screen to identify a lead compound for novel non-ZF target PPIL4. Our study provides a comprehensive inventory of targets chemically recruited to cereblon and delivers a robust and scalable workflow for identifying new drug-induced protein interactions in cell lysates.

Comprehensive profiling of degrader-protein interactions

Project description:Targeted protein degradation and induced proximity both refer to advanced strategies that leverage the recruitment of target proteins to another protein to facilitate their modification, regulation or degradation. As the biological complexity of molecular glues and degraders has become increasingly apparent, there is a growing need for advances in unbiased methodology to unveil hidden chemical targets. Here we establish a high throughput affinity purification mass spectrometry workflow in cell lysates for the unbiased identification of degrader interactomes. We map the targets of 20 molecular glue degraders across two orthogonal cell lines identifying 270 proteins as chemically recruited to CRBN and demonstrate the power of enrichment methods for identifying novel protein targets that are often overlooked using global whole cell screening methods. We not only drastically increase the breadth of zinc finger transcription factors that are targetable, but more importantly identify many novel non-zinc finger proteins as targets of IMiD molecular glues. We use alignments with structures obtained from the Alphafold2 database as a method to estimate confidence in experimental hits and we experimentally validate several targets to show direct interaction and subsequent ubiquitylation. Our study provides a comprehensive inventory of targets chemically recruited to CRBN and delivers a robust and scalable workflow for identifying new drug-induced protein interactions in cell lysates.
