 Project objective

The Anchor E3s project proposes to establish, for the first time, an efficient protocol for the discovery and characterisation of accessible binding sites at any patch of a protein surface, regardless of its involvement in biological function. One of the motivation of the research is to develop a general approach to discover new “anchor” ligands that can enable improved plug-and-play proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) as chemical degraders of any protein of interest. The project will build on results from the host lab who identified a series of low molecular-weight fragments addressing novel patches at the surface of Cullin RING E3 ubiquitin ligases (CRLs) with currently unknown functionality, demonstrating that accessible and “ligandable” binding sites can be found on CRL surfaces. A combination of structure-based computational techniques informed by biophysical experiments and X-ray crystallography will be used to reveal, characterise, and target new ligandable binding sites at CRL surfaces. Promising anchor fragments will then be identified and grown into suitable binders, and eventually linked to assemble novel PROTACs, which will be assessed in cellular assays. The ultimate goal of the research is to develop and establish the PROTAC approach as an efficient and universal chemical biology platform for target validation, regardless of the perceived “druggability” of the targeted protein.

Are you the coordinator (or a participant) of this project? Plaese send me more information about the "ANCHOR E3S" project.

For instance: the website url (it has not provided by EU-opendata yet), the logo, a more detailed description of the project (in plain text as a rtf file or a word file), some pictures (as picture files, not embedded into any word file), twitter account, linkedin page, etc.

Send me an  email (fabio@fabiodisconzi.com) and I put them in your project's page as son as possible.

Thanks. And then put a link of this page into your project's website.
