A Novel Luminescence-Based High-Throughput Approach for Cellular Resolution of Protein Ubiquitination Using Tandem Ubiquitin Binding Entities (TUBEs).

Protein turnover is highly regulated by the posttranslational process of ubiquitination. Deregulation of the ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) has been implicated in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, and modulating this system has proven to be a viable approach for therapeutic intervention. The development of novel technologies that enable high-throughput studies of substrate protein ubiquitination is key for UPS drug discovery.

CPSF3-dependent pre-mRNA processing as a druggable node in AML and Ewing's sarcoma.

The post-genomic era has seen many advances in our understanding of cancer pathways, yet resistance and tumor heterogeneity necessitate multiple approaches to target even monogenic tumors. Here, we combine phenotypic screening with chemical genetics to identify pre-messenger RNA endonuclease cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor 3 (CPSF3) as the target of JTE-607, a small molecule with previously unknown target. We show that CPSF3 represents a synthetic lethal node in a subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and Ewing's sarcoma cancer cell lines.

Structural basis of indisulam-mediated RBM39 recruitment to DCAF15 E3 ligase complex.

The anticancer agent indisulam inhibits cell proliferation by causing degradation of RBM39, an essential mRNA splicing factor. Indisulam promotes an interaction between RBM39 and the DCAF15 E3 ligase substrate receptor, leading to RBM39 ubiquitination and proteasome-mediated degradation. To delineate the precise mechanism by which indisulam mediates the DCAF15-RBM39 interaction, we solved the DCAF15-DDB1-DDA1-indisulam-RBM39(RRM2) complex structure to a resolution of 2.

Cullin-RING ubiquitin E3 ligase regulation by the COP9 signalosome.

The cullin-RING ubiquitin E3 ligase (CRL) family comprises over 200 members in humans. The COP9 signalosome complex (CSN) regulates CRLs by removing their ubiquitin-like activator NEDD8. The CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-DDB2 complex (CRL4A(DDB2)) monitors the genome for ultraviolet-light-induced DNA damage.

Late-stage C-H functionalization of complex alkaloids and drug molecules via intermolecular rhodium-carbenoid insertion.

Alkaloids constitute a large family of natural products possessing diverse biological properties. Their unique and complex structures have inspired numerous innovations in synthetic chemistry. In the realm of late-stage C-H functionalization, alkaloids remain a significant challenge due to the presence of the basic amine and a variety of other functional groups.

Haemodialysing babies weighing <8 kg with the Newcastle infant dialysis and ultrafiltration system (Nidus): comparison with peritoneal and conventional haemodialysis.

Background: To compare the efficacy of the Newcastle infant dialysis and ultrafiltration system (Nidus) with peritoneal dialysis (PD) and conventional haemodialysis (HD) in infants weighing <8 kg.

Methods: We compared the urea, creatinine and phosphate clearances, the ultrafiltration precision, and the safety of the Nidus machine with PD in 7 piglets weighing 1-8 kg, in a planned randomised cross-over trial in babies, and in babies for whom no other therapy existed, some of whom later graduated to conventional HD.

Results: Two babies entered the randomised trial; 1 recovered rapidly on PD, the other remained on the Nidus as PD failed.

Structure of the DDB1-CRBN E3 ubiquitin ligase in complex with thalidomide.

In the 1950s, the drug thalidomide, administered as a sedative to pregnant women, led to the birth of thousands of children with multiple defects. Despite the teratogenicity of thalidomide and its derivatives lenalidomide and pomalidomide, these immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) recently emerged as effective treatments for multiple myeloma and 5q-deletion-associated dysplasia. IMiDs target the E3 ubiquitin ligase CUL4-RBX1-DDB1-CRBN (known as CRL4(CRBN)) and promote the ubiquitination of the IKAROS family transcription factors IKZF1 and IKZF3 by CRL4(CRBN).

Reconstitution of the 26S proteasome reveals functional asymmetries in its AAA+ unfoldase.

The 26S proteasome is the major eukaryotic ATP-dependent protease, yet the detailed mechanisms used by the proteasomal heterohexameric AAA+ unfoldase to drive substrate degradation remain poorly understood. To perform systematic mutational analyses of individual ATPase subunits, we heterologously expressed the unfoldase subcomplex from Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Escherichia coli and reconstituted the proteasome in vitro. Our studies demonstrate that the six ATPases have distinct roles in degradation, corresponding to their positions in the spiral staircases adopted by the AAA+ domains in the absence or presence of substrate.

Plate-based diversity selection based on empirical HTS data to enhance the number of hits and their chemical diversity.

Typically, screening collections of pharmaceutical companies contain more than a million compounds today. However, for certain high-throughput screening (HTS) campaigns, constraints posed by the assay throughput and/or the reagent costs make it impractical to screen the entire deck. Therefore, it is desirable to effectively screen subsets of the collection based on a hypothesis or a diversity selection.

Resistance of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) prions to inactivation.

Distinct prion strains often exhibit different incubation periods and patterns of neuropathological lesions. Strain characteristics are generally retained upon intraspecies transmission, but may change on transmission to another species. We investigated the inactivation of two related prions strains: BSE prions from cattle and mouse-passaged BSE prions, termed 301V.

Catalytic asymmetric reactions for organic synthesis: the combined C-H activation/siloxy-cope rearrangement.

Tetrakis(N-[4-dodecylbenzenesulfonyl]-(L)-prolinate) dirhodium [Rh(2)(S-DOSP)(4)]-catalyzed decomposition of vinyldiazoacetates in the presence of allyl silyl ethers results in the formation of the direct C-H insertion product and the product derived from a combined C-H activation/siloxy-Cope rearrangement. Both products are formed with very high diastereoselectivity (>94% de) and high enantioselectvity (78-93% ee). Under thermal or microwave conditions, the direct C-H insertion product undergoes a siloxy-Cope rearrangement in a stereoselective manner.

New strategic reactions for organic synthesis: catalytic asymmetric C-H activation alpha to oxygen as a surrogate to the aldol reaction.

The C-H activation of silyl ethers by means of rhodium carbenoid-induced C-H insertion represents a very direct method for the stereoselective synthesis of silyl-protected beta-hydroxy esters. The reaction can proceed with very high regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectivity and represents a surrogate to the aldol reaction. The reaction is catalyzed by the rhodium prolinate complex Rh(2)(S-DOSP)(4).
