Heterobifunctional molecules induce dephosphorylation of kinases – a proof of concept study
2020
Heterobifunctional molecules have proven powerful tools to induce ligase-dependent ubiquitination of target proteins. We describe here a chemical strategy for controlling a different post-translational modification (PTM): phosphorylation. Heterobifunctional molecules were designed to promote the proximity of a protein phosphatase (PP1) to protein targets. The synthesized molecules induced the PP1-dependent dephosphorylation of AKT and EGFR. To our knowledge, this work represents the first examples of small molecules recruiting non-native partners to induce removal of a PTM.
