DCAF1-based PROTACs with activity against clinically validated targets overcoming intrinsic- and acquired-degrader resistance

ABSTRACT: Targeted protein degradation (TPD) mediates protein level through small molecule induced redirection of E3 ligases to ubiquitinate neo-substrates and mark them for proteasomal degradation. TPD has recently emerged as a key modality in drug discovery. So far only a few ligases have been utilized for TPD. Interestingly, the workhorse ligase CRBN has been observed to be down-regulated in settings of resistance to immunomodulatory inhibitory drugs (IMiDs). Here we show that the essential E3 ligase receptor DCAF1 can be harnessed for TPD utilizing a selective, non-covalent DCAF1 binder. We con firm that this binder can be functionalized into an efficient DCAF1-BRD9 PROTAC. Chemical and genetic rescue experiments validate specific degradation via the CRL4DCAF1 E3 ligase. Additionally, a dasatinib-based DCAF1 PROTAC successfully degrades cytosolic and membrane-bound tyrosine kinases. A potent and selective DCAF1-BTK-PROTAC (DBt-10) degrades BTK in cells with acquired resistance to CRBN-BTK-PROTACs while the DCAF1-BRD9 PROTAC (DBr-1) provides an alternative strategy to tackle intrinsic resistance to VHL-degrader, highlighting DCAF1-PROTACS as a promising strategy to overcome ligase mediated resistance in clinical settings.

Modeling CRL4A ligase complex to predict target protein ubiquitination induced by CRBN-recruiting PROTACs

Project description:PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) are bifunctional small molecules that can simultaneously recruit target protein and E3 ligase to form a ternary complex (target protein / PROTAC / E3 ligase), leading to target protein ubiquitination and degradation via the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System (UPS). PROTACs have gained increasing attention in recent years due to certain advantages over traditional therapeutic modalities enabling targeting of previously "undruggable" proteins. To better understand the mechanism of PROTAC-induced Target Protein Degradation (TPD), several computational approaches have recently been developed to study and predict ternary complex formation. However, mounting evidence suggests that ubiquitination can also be a rate-limiting step in PROTAC induced TPD. Here, we propose a structure-based computational approach to predict target protein ubiquitination induced by CRBN-based PROTACs,

Merlin/NF2 Suppresses Tumorigenesis by Inhibiting the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase CRL4DCAF1 in the Nucleus

Project description:Current models imply that the FERM domain protein Merlin, encoded by the tumor suppressor NF2, inhibits mitogenic signaling at or near the plasma membrane. Here, we show that the closed, growth inhibitory form of Merlin accumulates in the nucleus, binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase CRL4DCAF1, and suppresses its activity. Depletion of DCAF1 blocks the promitogenic effect of inactivation of Merlin. Conversely, enforced expression of a Merlin-insensitive mutant of DCAF1 counteracts the antimitogenic effect of Merlin. Re-expression of Merlin and silencing of DCAF1 induce a similar, tumor-suppressive program of gene expression. Tumor-derived mutations invariably disrupt Merlinâs ability to interact with or inhibit CRL4DCAF1. Finally, depletion of DCAF1 inhibits the hyperproliferation of Schwannoma cells from NF2 patients and suppresses the oncogenic potential of Merlin-deficient tumor cell lines. We propose that Merlin suppresses tumorigenesis by translocating to the nucleus to inhibit CRL4DCAF1. To examine if Merlin controls gene expression through inhibition of CRL4DCAF1, and define the general function of this ligase, we compared the gene expression program activated by expression of Merlin or by depletion of DCAF1 in Merlin-null FC-1801 mouse Schwannoma cells

Delineating the role of cooperativity in the design of potent PROTACs for BTK

Project description:Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional small molecules that simultaneously bind to a target protein and an E3 ligase, thereby leading to ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the target. They present an exciting opportunity to modulate proteins in a manner independent of enzymatic or signaling activity. As such, they have recently emerged as an attractive mechanism to explore previously “undruggable” targets. Despite this interest, fundamental questions remain regarding the parameters most critical for achieving potency and selectivity. Here we employ a series of biochemical and cellular techniques to investigate requirements for efficient knockdown of Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase essential for B cell maturation. Members of an 11-compound PROTAC library were investigated for their ability to form binary and ternary complexes with BTK and cereblon (CRBN, an E3 ligase component). Results were extended to measure effects on BTK–CRBN cooperative interactions as well as in vitro and in vivo BTK degradation. Our data show that alleviation of steric clashes between BTK and CRBN by modulating PROTAC linker length within this chemical series allows potent BTK degradation in the absence of thermodynamic cooperativity

Enhancing Intracellular Concentration and Target Engagement of PROTACs with Reversible Covalent Chemistry

Project description:Current efforts in the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) field mostly focus on choosing the appropriate E3 ligase for a certain targeted protein, improving the binding affinities towards the target protein and the E3 ligase, and optimizing the PROTAC linker. However, it is well known that due to the large sizes of PROTAC molecules, their cellular uptake level remains an issue, posing a challenge to translate PROTACs into therapeutics. Driven by our fundamental investigation to compare how different warhead chemistry, reversible noncovalent (RNC), reversible covalent (RC), and irreversible covalent (IRC) binders, may affect the degradation of a model protein Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK), we serendipitously discovered that cyano-acrylamide-based reversible covalent chemistry can significantly enhance the intracellular concentration and target engagement of the PROTAC. Building on this discovery, we developed RC-1 as the first reversible covalent BTK PROTAC, which has high target occupancy and is effective as both an inhibitor and a degrader. Molecular dynamics calculations and phase-separation based ternary complex assays support that RC-1 forms a stable ternary complex with BTK and Cereblon (CRBN). Additionally, RC-1 compares favorably with other reported BTK degraders in cell viability and target engagement assays and has a reasonable plasma half-life for in vivo applications. Importantly, this reversible covalent strategy can be generalized and applied to improve other PROTACs. This work can not only help to develop optimal BTK degraders for clinical applications but also provide a new strategy to improve PROTAC efficacy.

Identification of the E3 ligase(s) recruited by 955 to degrade CDK9

Project description:PROTACs induce the degradation of target proteins by hijacking an E3 ligase. However, it is usually difficult to directly identify the E3 ligase recruited by a new E3 ligase ligand in a PROTAC using the co-immunoprecipitation method because the formation of the complex is transient and very dynamic. TurboID assay is a powerful proximity labeling method that can sensitively detect weak and transient protein-protein interactions by biotinylating proteins that interact with a bait protein fused with an engineered biotin ligase. Here, we adapted TurboID technology to identify and characterize the specific E3 ligase(s) recruited by 955, a potent piperlongumine (PL)-SNS-032 conjugated CDK9 PROTAC, to mediate CDK9 degradation.

BET protein proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) exerts potent lethal activity against Mantle Cell Lymphoma cells

Project description:Bromodomain extraterminal protein (BETP) inhibitors transcriptionally repress oncoproteins and NFkB target genes, which undermines the growth and survival of MCL cells. However, BETi treatment causes accumulation of BETPs, associated with reversible binding and incomplete inhibition of BRD4, which potentially compromises the activity of BETi in MCL cells. Unlike BETi, BET-PROTACs (proteolysis-targeting chimera) ARV-825 and ARV-771 (Arvinas, Inc.) recruit and utilize an E3-ubiquitin ligase to effectively degrade BETPs in MCL cells. BET-PROTACs induce more apoptosis than BETi of MCL cells, including those resistant to ibrutinib. BET-PROTAC treatment induced more perturbations in the mRNA and protein expressions than BETi, with depletion of c-Myc, CDK4, cyclin D1, and the NFkB transcriptional targets Bcl-xL, XIAP and BTK, while inducing the level of HEXIM1, NOXA and CDKN1A/p21. Treatment with ARV-771, which possesses superior pharmacological properties compared to ARV-825, inhibited the in vivo growth and induced greater survival improvement than the BETi OTX015 of immune-depleted mice engrafted with MCL cells. Co-treatment of ARV-771 with ibrutinib or the BCL2-antagonist venetoclax or CDK4/6 inhibitor palbociclib synergistically induced apoptosis of MCL cells. These studies highlight promising and superior pre-clinical activity of BET-PROTAC than BETi, requiring further in vivo evaluation of BET-PROTAC as a therapy for ibrutinib-sensitive or resistant MCL.

FBXO22 as an E3 ligase supporting targeted protein degradation

Project description:Targeted protein degradation (TPD) represents a potent chemical biology paradigm that leverages the cellular degradation machinery to pharmacologically eliminate specific proteins of interest. Although multiple E3 ligases have been discovered to facilitate TPD, there exists a compelling requirement to diversify the pool of E3 ligases available for such applications. This expansion will broaden the scope of potential protein targets, accommodating those with varying subcellular localizations and expression patterns. In this study, we describe a CRISPR-based transcriptional activation screen focused on human E3 ligases, with the goal of identifying E3 ligases that can facilitate heterobifunctional compound-mediated target degradation. This approach allows us to address the limitations associated with investigating candidate degrader molecules in specific cell lines that either lack or have low levels of the desired E3 ligases. Through this approach, we identified a candidate proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC), 22-SLF, that induces the degradation of FKBP12 when the FBXO22 gene transcription is activated. 22-SLF induced the degradation of endogenous FKBP12 in a FBXO22-dependent manner across multiple cancer cell lines. Subsequent mechanistic investigations revealed that 22-SLF interacts with C227 and/or C228 in FBXO22 to achieve the target degradation. Finally, we demonstrated the versatility of FBXO22-based PROTACs by effectively degrading another endogenous protein BRD4. This study uncovers FBXO22 as an E3 ligase capable of supporting ligand-induced protein degradation through electrophilic PROTACs. The platform we have developed can readily be applied to elucidate protein degradation pathways by identifying E3 ligases that facilitate either small molecule-induced or endogenous protein degradation.

Exploring Effectiveness of KEAP1-based PROTAC Strategy

Project description:Targeted protein degradation (TPD) uses small molecules to recruit E3 ubiquitin ligases into proximity of proteins of interest, inducing ubiquitination-dependent degradation. A major bottleneck in the TPD field is the lack of accessible E3 ligase ligands for developing degraders. To expand the E3 ligase toolbox, we sought to convert the KEAP1 inhibitor KI696 into a recruitment handle for several targets. While we were able to generate KEAP1-recruiting degraders of BET family and murine FAK we discovered that the target scope of KEAP1 was narrow, as targets easily degraded by a cereblon (CRBN)-recruiting degrader were refractory to KEAP1-mediated degradation. Linking the KEAP1-binding ligand to a CRBN-binding ligand resulted in a molecule that induced degradation of KEAP1 but not CRBN. In sum, we characterize tool compounds to explore KEAP1-mediated ubiquitination and delineate the challenges of exploiting new E3 ligases for generating bivalent degraders.
