  • 蛋白降解靶向嵌合体(proteolysis targeting chimera, PROTAC)是近年来最受期待的蛋白降解技术[1]。PROTAC是一种异双功能分子,一端与靶蛋白结合,另一端结合E3连接酶形成靶蛋白-PROTAC-E3三元复合物,E3连接酶诱导靶蛋白泛素化,随后被蛋白酶体识别并降解。PROTAC相较传统药物具有诸多优势,如使难成药靶点实现可成药性、大幅增加可用靶点数量、克服耐药性、提高选择性和活性、降低毒副作用等。但是,PROTAC依赖E3连接酶和蛋白酶体,也存在一些固有缺陷,如主要针对细胞质中可溶性蛋白进行降解,不能降解蛋白聚集物和大的蛋白质,对非蛋白物质的降解无能为力[2]

    自噬-溶酶体途径(ALP)是广泛存在于真核细胞中的蛋白降解系统,它是指在自噬关键蛋白LC3参与下,细胞内膜结构形成自噬小体并将底物包裹,随后转运至溶酶体实现底物降解的过程[3]。该机制涉及的底物范围十分广泛,包括蛋白质聚集体、衰老或受损的细胞器、入侵的病原微生物等。ALP与泛素-蛋白酶体途径互为补充,在细胞中发挥重要的生理功能[4-5]

    2019年,复旦大学鲁伯埙团队基于自噬-溶酶体途径首次提出自噬小体绑定化合物(ATTEC)概念。ATTEC是一种双功能分子,同时结合LC3与靶蛋白,将靶蛋白包裹进自噬小体,并在溶酶体中实现降解。基于这一思想,研究人员将小分子库固定在芯片上,筛选以“分子胶”方式将突变型亨廷顿蛋白(mHTT)和LC3蛋白“黏合”的分子,成功获得4个小分子化合物(10O5、ispinesib、AN1-2, 图1)。这些化合物能有效降解mHTT蛋白,并减弱亨廷顿病相关表型[6]。ATTEC分子通过直接连接自噬蛋白LC3,绕过泛素化过程,是一种利用自噬降解靶标最为直接的策略,对于降解不同类型的靶标具有很大的潜力。但是,ATTEC技术尚处于概念验证阶段,急需拓展靶标应用范围,推动技术的不断成熟。

    BRD4是BET溴结构域蛋白家族中最重要的成员之一,在人体中广泛分布,对细胞正常生长及细胞周期的调控具有重要意义,与肿瘤发生密切相关,是肿瘤治疗的热门靶点[7],基于PROTAC的BRD4降解剂相继报道[8-9]。BRD4已成为靶向蛋白降解研究的经典体系,为了验证ATTEC降解策略的普适性和可行性,我们以BRD4靶点为研究对象,开展BRD4-ATTEC分子设计、合成和蛋白降解活性评价研究。

    • BRD4-ATTEC分子由三部分组成:BRD4抑制剂、连接子Linker和LC3配体。我们选择经典BRD4抑制剂JQ1作为靶蛋白配体,JQ1与BRD4共晶结构如图2A所示。JQ1的酯基部分暴露于溶剂中,适合作为Linker连接位点,不影响BRD4蛋白结合活性[10];Ispinesib作为LC3配体,由于鲁伯埙团队在进行高通量筛选时,化合物ispinesib的氨基端连接于分子芯片,故选择氨基端作为Linker连接另一位点,不会影响其与LC3蛋白的结合;随后,使用不同长度的烷烃链将两个配体相连设计得到相应目标化合物(图2BC)。目标化合物通过同时结合BRD4与LC3蛋白,将BRD4靶向至自噬小体中,从而被溶酶体吞噬完成降解。
