disorders. Interactions between WDR5 and various partners are essential for sustaining its function. Most drug discovery efforts center on the WIN (WDR5 interaction motif) site of WDR5 that is responsible for the recruitment of WDR5 to chromatin. Here, we describe the discovery of novel WDR5 inhibitors for the other WBM (WDR5 binding motif) pocket on this scaffold protein, to disrupt WDR5 interaction with
WD 重复结构域 5 (WDR5) 是 W
D40 重复蛋白家族的成员,在多个过程中起着关键作用。它也是药物抑制癌症、衰老和神经退行性疾病等疾病的重要靶点。WDR5 与各个合作伙伴之间的互动对于维持其功能至关重要。大多数药物发现工作都集中在 WDR5 的 WIN(WDR5 相互作用基序)位点,该位点负责将 WDR5 募集到染色质。在这里,我们描述了针对该支架蛋白上其他 WBM(WDR5 结合基序)口袋的新型 WDR5
抑制剂的发现,通过高通量生化筛选、后续分子优化和
生物学评估来破坏 WDR5 与其结合伙伴 MYC 的相互作用。
