Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) are small molecules that degrade proteins of interest via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. While MGDs were historically discovered serendipitously, approaches for MGD discovery now include cell-viability-based drug screens or data mining of public transcriptomics and drug response datasets. These approaches, however, have target spaces restricted to the essential proteins. Here we develop a high-throughput workflow for MGD discovery that also reaches the nonessential proteome. This workflow begins with the rapid synthesis of a compound library by sulfur(VI) fluoride exchange chemistry coupled to a morphological profiling assay in isogenic cell lines that vary in levels of the E3 ligase CRBN. By comparing the morphological changes induced by compound treatment across the isogenic cell lines, we were able to identify FL2-14 as a CRBN-dependent MGD targeting the nonessential protein GSPT2. We envision that this workflow would contribute to the discovery and characterization of MGDs that target a wider range of proteins.
Post-translational modifications of histones alter chromatin structure and play key roles in gene expression and specification of cell states. Small molecules that target chromatin-modifying enzymes selectively are useful as probes and have promise as therapeutics, although very few are currently available. G9a (also named euchromatin histone methyltransferase 2 (EHMT2)) catalyzes methylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9), a modification linked to aberrant silencing of tumor-suppressor genes, among others. Here, we report the discovery of a novel histone methyltransferase inhibitor, BRD4770. This compound reduced cellular levels of di- and trimethylated H3K9 without inducing apoptosis, induced senescence, and inhibited both anchorage-dependent and -independent proliferation in the pancreatic cancer cell line PANC-1. ATM-pathway activation, caused by either genetic or small-molecule inhibition of G9a, may mediate BRD4770-induced cell senescence. BRD4770 may be a useful tool to study G9a and its role in senescence and cancer cell biology.
