  • Patent number: 11807895
    Abstract: A method for detecting oncogenic growth and viability, and/or degree of cellular transformation and/or identifying an agent that inhibits cellular transformation is disclosed. The method including: providing a cellular sample, such as a sample of cells obtained from a subject or a cell line; culturing the cellular sample in low attachment conditions; and detecting growth and7or cell viability of the sample, wherein increased growth relative and/or viability relative to a control or control level indicative of basal growth and/or viability indicates cellular transformation. In some embodiments, the method includes introducing a n expression vector into cells of the cellular sample, wherein the expression vector comprises a gene product expression sequence being tested for transformation ability. In some embodiments the cellular sample is contacted with a test agent and growth and/or cell viability of the sample is determined to determine if the agent inhibits transformation.

  • Patent number: 11802132
    Abstract: Provided herein are bifunctional compounds that bind a target protein (e.g., a selected protein) and/or induce ubiquitination for degradation of the target protein. In particular, provided are compounds that bind a bromodomain or bromodomain-containing protein (e.g., BET proteins) or histone methyltransferases (HMTs, e.g., enhancer of zeste homolog 1 (EZH1), or FKBP12) and can promote its degradation by recruiting it to the ubiquitin receptor RPN13 (e.g., RA190), for proteasomal degradation. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional compounds, methods of treating and/or preventing diseases (e.g., proliferative diseases, cancers, benign neoplasms, pathological angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases) and musculoskeletal diseases, and methods of inducing the degradation of a target (e.g., a target protein) by recruiting it to the ubiquitin receptor RPN13 of the proteasome in a subject by administering a compound or composition described herein.
