In this study, we discovered a covalent small-molecule recruiter EN523 for the K48-ubiquitin chain-specific DUB OTUB1. We demonstrated that this recruiter can be used incorporated into fully synthetic heterobifunctional DUBTACs by linking a DUB recruiter to protein targeting ligands to enable TPS of actively degraded target proteins in cells. We showed two successful examples of TPS with ΔF508-CFTR and WEE1. For ΔF508-CFTR, we also demonstrated that we not only heightened the levels of the mutant protein, but also improved cell surface chloride channel conductance of CFTR with our DUBTAC in combination with the potentiator ivacaftor, compared to lumacaftor and ivacaftor treatments. While we showed early validation of the DUBTAC platform here, there are many avenues for future exploration. These include further optimization of DUB recruiters against OTUB1 to improve their potency and proteome-wide selectivity, as well as the discovery of new recruiters against other candidate DUBs. For exploring optimization of CFTR DUBTACs, further improvement of the linker between lumacaftor and the DUB recruiter could improve potency and degree of CFTR stabilization. In addition, elucidating the mechanism, structural underpinnings, and kinetics in the formation of the ternary complex formed between CFTR and OTUB1 and understanding how CFTR is deubiquitinated by the DUBTAC will be important. Furthermore, better understanding of whether we are disrupting endogenous OTUB1 function would be important to understanding the mechanism and safety of DUBTACs[1].
WEE1 stabilization: Treatment of HEP3B hepatoma cancer cell lines with LEB-03-146, a DUBTAC linking AZD1775 to the OTUB1 recruiter EN523 through a PEG linker, showed significant stabilization of WEE1 protein levels comparable to those observed with bortezomib treatment. This stabilization was not observed with treatment of EN523 or AZD1775 alone. [1] |

Western blotting: Used to assess WEE1 protein levels in HEP3B cells treated with LEB-03-146, EN523, AZD1775, or bortezomib. [1]

Many diseases are driven by aberrant ubiquitination and degradation of proteins. Targeted protein stabilization (TPS) holds promise for the treatment of these diseases. This article introduces deubiquitinase-targeting chimeras (DUBTACs), heterobifunctional small molecules composed of a deubiquitinase recruiter linked to a protein-targeting ligand, designed to stabilize the levels of specific proteins that degrade in a ubiquitin-dependent manner. Using chemical proteomics, we discovered a covalent ligand, EN523, that targets the non-catalytic allosteric cysteine C23 in the K48-ubiquitin-specific deubiquitinase OTUB1. We demonstrate that DUBTACs, composed of the EN523 OTUB1 recruiter linked to lumacaftor (a drug for treating cystic fibrosis that binds to ΔF508-cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)), significantly stabilize ΔF508-CFTR protein levels, thereby improving chloride channel conductance in human cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial cells. We also demonstrate that DUBTACs stabilize the tumor suppressor kinase WEE1 in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Our study demonstrates the application of covalent chemical proteomics methods in developing novel therapeutic modalities based on induced proximity effects and introduces the DUBTAC platform for TPS.

LEB-03-146 is a deubiquitinase-targeting chimera (DUBTAC) designed to stabilize intracellular WEE1 kinase levels by linking the WEE1 inhibitor AZD1775 to the OTUB1 recruitment protein EN523 via a PEG linker. This method utilizes the induced proximity effect of deubiquitinase (DUB) with the target protein to prevent its ubiquitination and subsequent proteasome degradation. [1] |
