The team of Christina M. Woo from Harvard University’s Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology has developed an enzyme activation strategy by integrating O-GlcNAc modifications into the ligands of cyclimids recognized by cereblon (CRBN). These sugar-coated PROTACs (SCPs) were designed based on structural analysis of representative cyclimids that degrade CRBN and the target protein BRD4. … Read more

The Future of PROTACs and Molecular Glue: E3 Ligand Development Overview

This article combines literature and patents to introduce the recent development status of new E3 ligands. First, let’s talk about DCAF1. Biological Background of DCAF1 DCAF1 (also known as VprBP) is a multifunctional E3 ubiquitin ligase substrate receptor that participates in the regulation of various cellular processes. It is part of the Cullin-RING ligase (CRL) … Read more
