Discovery of a Highly Potent and Selective HDAC3 and HDAC8 PROTAC Dual Degrader

ABSTRACT: HDAC3 and HDAC8 are members of class I deacetylases involved in several biological mechanisms and represent a highly sought-after therapeutic target for drug development. It is historically challenging to develop selective deacetylase inhibitors due to their conserved catalytic domains. HDAC3 also has deacetylase-independent activity, which cannot be blocked by conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Recent advances in proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) provides an opportunity to eliminate the whole protein selectively, abolishing both enzymatic and scaffolding functions. Here, we report a novel HDAC3/8 dual degrader YX968 that induces highly potent, rapid and selective degradation of both HDAC3 and HDAC8 without trigging pan-HDAC inhibitory effects. Unbiased quantitative proteomics experiments further confirmed its high selectivity. This dual-specific degrader specifically ablates cellular pathways attributed to HDAC3 and HDAC8 and exhibits high potency in killing cancer cells. YX968 represents a new probe for dissecting the complex biological functions of HDAC3 and HDAC8.

Design principles for cyclin K molecular glue degraders

Project description:Molecular glue degraders are an effective therapeutic modality, but their design principles are not well understood. Recently, several unexpectedly diverse compounds were reported to deplete cyclin K by linking CDK12-cyclin K to the DDB1-CUL4-RBX1 E3 ligase. To investigate how chemically dissimilar small molecules trigger cyclin K degradation, we evaluated 91 candidate degraders in structural, biophysical, and cellular studies and reveal all compounds acquire glue activity via simultaneous CDK12 binding and engagement of DDB1 interfacial residues, in particular Arg928. While we identify multiple published kinase inhibitors as cryptic degraders, we also show that these glues do not require pronounced inhibitory properties for activity and that the relative degree of CDK12 inhibition versus cyclin K degradation is tuneable. We further demonstrate cyclin K degraders have transcriptional signatures distinct from CDK12 inhibitors, thereby offering unique therapeutic opportunities. The systematic structure-activity relationship analysis presented herein provides a conceptual framework for rational molecular glue design.

UBR5 Forms Ligand-Dependent Complexes on Chromatin to Regulate Nuclear Hormone Receptor Stability

Project description:Nuclear hormone receptors (NRs) are ligand-binding transcription factors that are widely targeted therapeutically. Hormone binding triggers NR activation and their subsequent proteasomal degradation through unknown ligand-dependent ubiquitin ligase machinery. NR degradation is therapeutically relevant. Efficacy of all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) for the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia requires degradation of the oncogenic fusion between the Promyelocytic Leukemia Protein (PML) with the Retinoic Acid Receptor Alpha (RARA). Here we use CRISPR-based screens to identify the HECT E3 ubiquitin ligase UBR5 as a ligase for PML-RARA and RARA and observe an agonist-dependent association between RARA and UBR5, which occurs directly on chromatin to regulate transcription. We present the cryo-EM structure of full-length human UBR5 and identify a Leu-X-X-Leu-Leu (LxxLL) binding motif that associates with a conserved degron in RARA. A high-resolution crystal structure of the RARA ligand binding domain in complex with this LxxLL motif shows how UBR5 binding is mutually exclusive with nuclear co-activator engagement. We demonstrate that UBR5 utilizes this conserved degron to additionally regulate hormone dependent protein stability for the glucocorticoid, progesterone, and vitamin D receptors. Our work establishes UBR5-driven NR degradation as an integral regulator of transcriptional signaling by nuclear hormones.

Ubiquitin-specific proximity labeling for the identification of E3 ubiquitin ligase substrates

Project description:Protein ubiquitination controls diverse processes within eukaryotic cells, including protein degradation, and is often dysregulated in diseases1. Moreover, protein degraders that redirect ubiquitination activities toward disease targets are an emerging and promising therapeutic class2. Over 600 E3 ubiquitin ligases are expressed in humans3,4, but their substrates remain largely elusive due to a lack of robust methods to identify E3 ligase substrates. Here we report the development of E-STUB (E3 substrate tagging by ubiquitin biotinylation), a ubiquitin-specific proximity labeling method that biotinylates ubiquitinated substrates in proximity to an E3 ligase of interest. E-STUB accurately identifies the direct ubiquitinated targets of protein degraders, including collateral targets and ubiquitylation events that do not exhibit a degradative outcome. It also detects known substrates of E3 ligase cereblon (CRBN) and von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) with high precision. With the ability to elucidate proximal ubiquitination events, E-STUB may facilitate the development of proximity-inducing drugs and act as a generalizable method for E3 substrate mapping.

Mezigdomide is effective alone and in combination with Menin inhibition in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Project description:Small molecules that target the MENIN-KMT2A protein-protein interaction (Menin inhibitors) have recently entered clinical trials in lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A, MLL1) rearranged (KMT2A-r) and nucleophosmin mutant (NPM1c) acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are demonstrating encouraging results. However, rationally chosen combination therapy is needed to improve responses and prevent resistance. We have previously identified IKZF1/IKAROS as a target in KMT2A-r AML and shown in preclinical models that IKAROS protein degradation with Lenalidomide or Iberdomide has modest single-agent activity yet can synergize with Menin inhibitors. Recently, the novel IKAROS degrader Mezigdomide was developed and has greatly enhanced IKAROS protein degradation. In this study we show that Mezigdomide has increased preclinical activity in vitro as a single-agent in KMT2A-r and NPM1c AML cell lines, including sensitivity in cell lines resistant to Lenalidomide and Iberdomide. Further, we demonstrate that Mezigdomide has the greatest capacity to synergize with and induce apoptosis in combination with Menin inhibitors. We show that the superior activity of Mezigdomide compared to Lenalidomide or Iberdomide is due to its increased depth, rate, and duration of IKAROS protein degradation. Single-agent Mezigdomide was efficacious in five patient derived xenograft (PDX) models of KMT2A-r and one NPM1c AML. The combination of Mezigdomide with a Menin inhibitor increased survival and prevented the development of recently described MEN1 mutations. These results support prioritization of Mezigdomide for early phase clinical trials in KMT2A-r and NPM1c AML, either as a single-agent or in combination with Menin inhibitors.

Continuous evolution of compact protein degradation tags regulated by selective cereblon molecular glues

Project description:Small molecule-triggered protein degradation tags (degrons) are powerful tools for biology, biotechnology, and therapeutics development. Commonly used degrons, however, are large protein domains (typically >100 amino acids) that cannot be easily or cleanly installed in endogenous protein-coding genes in most cell types. Although some zinc-finger (ZF) degrons are theoretically small enough for facile endogenous tagging, all are triggered by small molecules with substantial off-target effects, precluding their use as highly specific modulators of endogenous protein levels. We developed a phage-assisted continuous evolution platform for molecular glues (MG-PACE) and applied it to evolve ZF degrons that engage cereblon (CRBN) only in the presence of orthogonal thalidomide derivatives. MG-PACE evolved a 36-amino acid ZF degron (SD40) that binds CRBN with high affinity in the presence of PT-179, a thalidomide derivative with no detected neosubstrate activity. The evolved degron is small enough to be efficiently inserted into targeted genomic sites in human cells using prime editing. Human proteins tagged with the evolved degron are rapidly and potently degraded by the otherwise-inert PT-179. To overcome the inactivity of IMiD-based degrons in rodents, we separately used MG-PACE to evolve ZF degrons that engage mouse CRBN, enabling induced target protein degradation in mouse cells. High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy structures of SD40 in complex with CRBN/DDB1 bound to PT-179 or pomalidomide reveal mechanistic insights into the evolution and molecular basis of SD40’s activity and specificity. Collectively, our efforts establish a system for the rapid evolution of molecular glue complexes with novel specificities and compact ZF tags that overcome shortcomings associated with existing degrons.

An engineered Cereblon optimized for high throughput screening and molecular glue discovery

Project description:The majority of clinical degraders utilize an immunomodulatory imide drug (IMiD)-based derivative, that directs their target to the E3 ligase receptor Cereblon (CRBN), however, identification of IMiD molecular glue substrates has remained underexplored. To tackle this, we design human CRBN constructs which retain all features for ternary complex formation, whilst allowing generation of homogenous and cost-efficient expression in E.coli. Extensive profiling of the construct, shows it to be the “best of both worlds” in terms of binding activity and ease of production. We next designed the ‘Enamine focused IMiD library’ and demonstrated applicability of the construct to high-throughput screening, identifying binders with high potency, ligand efficiency and specificity. Finally, we adapt our construct for proof of principle glue screening approaches enabling IMiD cellular interactome determination. Coupled with our IMiD binding landscape, the methods described here should serve as valuable tools to assist discovery of next generation CRBN glues.
