A Novel Gain-of-Signal Assay to Detect Targeted Protein Degradation.

Targeted protein degradation offers a promising avenue for expanding therapeutic development to previously inaccessible proteins of interest by regulating the target abundance rather than activity. However, current methods to screen for effective degraders serve as major bottlenecks for the development of degrader therapies. Here, we develop a novel assay platform for identification and characterization of macromolecules capable of inducing targeted degradation of oncogenic phosphatase SHP2.
