HETEROBIFUNCTIONAL COMPOUNDS WITH IMPROVED SPECIFICITYFOR THE BROMODOMAIN OF BRD4
-
Paragraph 0302; 0315-0318, (2019/05/10)
Disclosed are heterobifunctional compounds that effectuate selective degradation of a target protein, and which include a targeting ligand that binds a target protein and at least one other protein, a ligand that binds an E3 ubiquitin ligase or a component of E3 ubiquitin ligase, and a specificity modulating linker that links the first ligand and the second ligand. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, and methods of using and making the compounds are also disclosed.
TUNABLE ENDOGENOUS PROTEIN DEGRADATION WITH HETEROBIFUNCTIONAL COMPOUNDS

Page/Page column 350-351, (2018/09/08)
The present invention provides a means to modulate gene expression in vivo in a manner that avoids problems associated with CRISPR endogenous protein knock-out or knock-in strategies and strategies that provide for correction, or alteration, of single nucleotides. The invention includes inserting into the genome a nucleotide encoding a heterobifunctional compound targeting protein (dTAG) in-frame with the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding an endogenously expressed protein of interest which, upon expression, produces an endogenous protein-dTAG hybrid protein. This allows for targeted protein degradation of the dTAG and the fused endogenous protein using a heterobifunctional compound.
