Abstract excerpt
DEPTOR is a 48 kDa protein upregulated in multiple myeloma (MM) cells. DEPTOR inhibits mTOR and, by repressing a negative feedback loop, promotes AKT activation. We previously identified a compound that binds to DEPTOR in MM cells and induces its proteasomal degradation. To identify the mechanism of degradation, here, we screened for drug-induced posttranslational modifications and identified reduced...
