  1. Last paper post of the year!

    Amazing Nature Chemical Biology paper by the group of Christina Woo. PCMT1 installs cyclic imides on asparagines at the C-terminus of proteins via SAM-dependent methyl ester formation, which then leads to degradation using cereblon.

  2. 🤖 Can AI help us predict and prevent off-target effects in PROTAC drug design?

    🔗 Predicting PROTAC off-target effects via warhead involvement levels in drug–target interactions using graph attention neural networks. Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, DOI: doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2025.10

  4. The mystery of @genentech's monovalent BRD degraders equipped with a propargyl "degradation tail" has been solved by researchers @abbvie: a #CRISPR screen reveals molecular glue-like recruitment of #DCAF16.

    Nice addition to the #targetedproteindegradation literature but I wouldn't describe it as "a new strategy of targeted protein degradation through direct substrate recruitment to the 26S proteasome" since Janse and Church first described this approach in 2004. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/150394 #PROTACs

  6. An exciting new paper by researchers at Genentech led by Erin Dueber describes a ligase-agnostic #TargetedProteinDegradation platform based on direct 26S proteasome recruitment with macrocyclic PSMD2 ligands! Clever use of the D-enantiomeric macrocycle as an inactive control. These bifunctional ligands deliver target proteins to the 26S proteasome near the AAA+ unfoldase pore, bypassing the requirement for E3 ligase-mediated target ubiquitination prior to degradation!
