Abstract

Molecular glues are typically small chemical molecules that act at the interface between a target protein and degradation machinery to trigger ternary complex formation.Identifying molecular glues is challeng-ing.There is a scarcity of target-specific upregulating molecular glues,which are highly anticipated for numerous targets,including P53.P53 is degraded in proteasomes through polyubiquitination by specific E3 ligases,whereas deubiquitinases(DUBs)remove polyubiquitination conjugates to counteract these E3 ligases.Thus,small-molecular glues that enhance P53 anchoring to DUBs may stabilize P53 through deu-biquitination.Here,using small-molecule microarray-based technology and unbiased screening,we iden-tified three potential molecular glues that may tether P53 to the DUB,USP7,and elevate the P53 level.Among the molecular glues,bromocriptine(BC)is an FDA-approved drug with the most robust effects.BC was further verified to increase P53 stability via the predicted molecular glue mechanism engaging USP7.Consistent with P53 upregulation in cancer cells,BC was shown to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in vitro and suppress tumor growth in a xenograft model.In summary,we established a potential screening platform and identified potential molecular glues upregulating P53.Similar strategies could be applied to the identification of other types of molecular glues that may benefit drug discovery and chemical biology studies.
