  • Publication number: 20230227406
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods, oligonucleotides, and compositions for modulating levels of at least one target protein in a cell, e.g., by reducing levels of the mRNA of the target protein or inhibiting translation of the mRNA. In some embodiments, the target protein can be the ubiquitin ligase polypeptide, including, but not limited to WWP1, WWP2, and NEDD4. Also provided herein are methods, oligonucleotides, and compositions for treating, ameliorating, delaying or reducing a symptom of a cancer. The present disclosure also relates to compounds, methods and compositions for modulating at least one target protein selected from ubiquitin protein ligase. Also provided herein are compounds, methods, and compositions for treating, ameliorating, delaying or reducing a symptom of a cancer or a viral infection. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to specific small-molecule modulators of HECT domain E3 ligases that are useful in the therapy and diagnosis of cancer and viral infection.
