Degradation of target protein in living cells by small-molecule proteolysis inducer

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2004 Feb 9;14(3):645-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2003.11.042.

Abstract

Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis of cellular proteins is one of the major pathways to regulate protein function posttranslationally. Here we demonstrate a potentially general method of degrading any targeted proteins by the ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis in living cells, using small-molecule proteolysis inducer (SMPI).
