Targeting PUMA/Bcl-xL interaction by new specific compounds to unleash apoptotic process in cancer cells
2019
Abstract We describe the first examples of small molecules able to disrupt the nanomolar interaction between the pro-apoptotic protein PUMA and its anti-apoptotic counterpart BcL-xL in malignant cells. Based on molecular modelling studies, we propose a rationale to this result, through a new “bottle-opener”-type strategy which could be of general use in the area of protein-protein interaction studies.
