Loss of FOCAD in cells impairs normal mRNA surveillance, creating a dependency on the HBS1L/PELO complex for ribosome rescue and identifying HBS1L as a potential synthetic lethal target and therapeutic vulnerability.
Haisco Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety covalently linked to an EGFR (HER1; erbB1)-targeting moiety through a linker.
Amphista Therapeutics Ltd. has divulged proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an F-Box only protein 22 (FBXO22)-binding moiety coupled to a transcriptional enhancer factor TEF (TEAD)-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Aurigene Oncology Ltd. has identified proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase protein binding moiety covalently linked to probable global transcription activator SNF2L2 (SMARCA2; BAF190B; SNF2-α) and/or transcription activator BRG1 (SMARCA4; BAF190A; SNF2-β) binding moieties through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co. Ltd. has synthesized proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) compounds comprising a Von Hippel-Lindau disease tumor suppressor (VHL)-binding moiety covalently linked to a GTPase KRAS G12D mutant-targeting moiety through a linker reported to be useful for the treatment of cancer.
Chia Tai Tianqing Pharmaceutical Group Co. Ltd. has disclosed proteolysis targeting chimeric (PROTAC) compounds comprising cereblon (CRBN) ligands covalently bonded to a B-cell lymphoma 6 protein (BCL6)-targeting moiety through a linker.
IKZF2, a transcription factor in the Ikaros family, plays a key role in stabilizing regulatory T (Treg) cells and promoting immune suppression within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Selective targeting of IKZF2 in intratumoral Tregs has the potential to enhance antitumor immunity and improve the efficacy of immunotherapy, while minimizing immune-related toxicities associated with systemic Treg depletion.
