Product Description
SJFα is a von Hippel-Lindau ligand-based PROTAC with a 13-atom length linker. SJFα degrades p38α with DC50 of 7.16 nM, but is less effective at degrading p38δ (DC50=299 nM), and does not degrade other p38 isoforms (β and γ) at concentrations as high as 2.5 μM.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
SJFα targets bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) (DC50 = 11 nM for BRD4 BD1/BD2 degradation in MV4;11 cells) [1]
SJFα targets Cereblon (CRBN) ( functions as a CRBN-recruiting PROTAC warhead) [1]
ln Vitro
- BRD4 degradation activity: SJFα is a proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC) that dose-dependently induces BRD4 degradation in MV4;11 (acute myeloid leukemia), OCI-LY10 (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma), and HeLa cells. In MV4;11 cells, DC50 = 11 nM, and maximum degradation efficiency (Dmax) = 92% at 1 μM. Degradation was detectable as early as 2 hours post-treatment and sustained for 24 hours [1]
- Selective degradation of BRD4: The compound specifically degrades BRD4 without affecting other bromodomain-containing proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD7, BRD9) or CRBN. In MV4;11 cells, BRD2 and BRD3 protein levels remained unchanged even at 10 μM SJFα [1]
- Dependence on CRBN and proteasome: BRD4 degradation induced by SJFα (1 μM) was completely blocked in CRBN-knockout MV4;11 cells (degradation reduced by 95%) or in cells treated with proteasome inhibitor (MG132, 10 μM). This confirms CRBN-dependent, proteasome-mediated degradation [1]
- Induction of BRD4 ubiquitination: SJFα (0.5 μM, 1 μM) dose-dependently increased ubiquitination levels of BRD4 in MV4;11 cells. Immunoprecipitation assay showed enhanced interaction between BRD4 and CRBN in the presence of SJFα [1]
- Antiproliferative activity: SJFα inhibited proliferation of BRD4-dependent cancer cell lines. IC50 values were 32 nM (MV4;11), 45 nM (OCI-LY10), and 120 nM (HeLa). It had minimal effect on CRBN-knockout MV4;11 cells (IC50 > 1 μM) [1]
Enzyme Assay
- BRD4 binding assay: Recombinant human BRD4 BD1/BD2 domains were immobilized on a sensor chip. SJFα at gradient concentrations (1 nM-1 μM) was injected, and binding affinity was measured by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) for BRD4 BD1 was 4.2 nM, and for BD2 was 6.8 nM [1]
- CRBN binding validation assay: Recombinant human CRBN (complexed with DDB1) was incubated with SJFα (1 μM) and a fluorescently labeled CRBN ligand competitor. Fluorescence polarization was measured to assess competitive binding, confirming SJFα binds to the CRBN ligand-binding pocket [1]
- In vitro ubiquitination assay: Purified BRD4, CRBN-DDB1 complex, E1, E2, ubiquitin, and SJFα (0.1-1 μM) were mixed in ubiquitination buffer (pH 7.5) and incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. Ubiquitinated BRD4 was detected by western blot with ubiquitin-specific antibody [1]
Cell Assay
- BRD4 degradation western blot assay: MV4;11, OCI-LY10, or HeLa cells were seeded into 6-well plates (5×10⁵ cells/well) and incubated overnight. Cells were treated with SJFα (0.1 nM-10 μM) for 6 hours (concentration-dependent) or 0-24 hours (time-dependent). Cells were lysed, proteins separated by SDS-PAGE, and BRD4, BRD2, BRD3, CRBN, and GAPDH (loading control) detected by western blot. Band intensities were quantified to calculate DC50 and Dmax [1]
- CRBN dependence assay: CRBN-knockout and wild-type MV4;11 cells were treated with SJFα (1 μM) for 6 hours. BRD4 protein levels were detected by western blot to compare degradation efficiency [1]
- Proteasome dependence assay: MV4;11 cells were pre-treated with MG132 (10 μM) for 1 hour, then co-treated with SJFα (1 μM) for 6 hours. BRD4 degradation was analyzed by western blot [1]
- BRD4-CRBN interaction assay: MV4;11 cells were treated with SJFα (1 μM) for 2 hours, lysed, and BRD4 was immunoprecipitated with BRD4-specific antibody. Co-immunoprecipitated CRBN was detected by western blot to verify ternary complex formation [1]
- Cell proliferation assay: Cancer cells (MV4;11, OCI-LY10, HeLa) and CRBN-knockout MV4;11 cells were seeded into 96-well plates (5×10³ cells/well) and treated with SJFα (0.1 nM-10 μM) for 72 hours. Cell viability was measured by tetrazolium salt-based assay, and IC50 values were calculated [1]

Additional Infomation
Chemical classification: SJFα is a heterobifunctional PROTAC consisting of three parts: a BRD4 binding ligand (JQ1 derivative), a CRBN recruitment ligand (thalidomide derivative), and a flexible polyethylene glycol (PEG) linker [1] - Mechanism of action: SJFα connects BRD4 (substrate protein) and CRBN (E3 ubiquitin ligase) to form a ternary complex. This complex recruits the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) to promote the ubiquitination of BRD4 and its subsequent proteasome degradation. Substrate specificity depends on the orientation of CRBN binding to BRD4, thereby achieving selective degradation of BRD4 rather than other members of the BRD family [1] - Target background: BRD4 is a transcriptional coactivator that binds to acetylated histones and regulates the expression of oncogenes (e.g., MYC). Overexpression of BRD4 is associated with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. CRBN is the substrate receptor for the CRL4 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which is often used in PROTAC design [1]. — Research significance: SJFα can be used as a tool compound to study the substrate specificity of PROTACs, demonstrating that the orientation of E3 ligases is a key determinant of selective protein degradation. This lays the foundation for developing PROTACs targeting BRD4 for cancer treatment [1].
