Scientists generate new targeted protein degradation system that tunes a cell’s own proteins

Broad Institute

It’s a big goal in biology to study loss of proteins under endogenous regulatory control, not only for validating drug targets, but also for studying native protein function in biology.” They then used prime editing to insert SD40 into the genome of human cells and tag two different proteins.

Targeted protein degradation: turning undruggable targets into druggable targets

Drug Target Review

TPD is a rapidly evolving therapeutic modality to degrade a disease-causing proteins, thereby eliminating their function specifically. 1 TPD is expected to challenge undruggable proteins, which are highly difficult to target by conventional small molecules. How does TPD work?
