Protein Knockdown Technology: Application of Ubiquitin Ligase to Cancer Therapy

Abstract excerpt

Selective degradation of pathogenic proteins by small molecules in cells is a novel approach for development of therapeutic agents against various diseases, including cancer. We and others have developed a protein knockdown technology with a series of hybrid small compounds, called SNIPERs (Specific and Nongenetic IAP-dependent Protein ERasers); and peptidic chimeric molecules, called PROTACs...
