  • Publication number: 20230304024
    Abstract: Methods of modulating transcription of a target gene in a cell (which may be in vitro or in vivo) are provided. Aspects of the methods employ a transcription factor-chemical inducer of proximity (TF-CIP) system to modulate, e.g., enhance or reduce, transcription of a target gene in a cell. Embodiments of the methods include providing in a cell a chemical inducer of proximity (CIP) which links a first endogenous anchor transcription factor that binds to a promoter of the target gene and a second endogenous transcription modulating factor (e.g., a transcription factor or transcription repressor), wherein CIP mediated linkage of the anchor transcription factor and transcription modulating factor modulates transcription of the target gene in the cell. Also provided are compositions that find use in practicing methods of the invention.

  • Patent number: 11040957
    Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds of Formula (I), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, tautomers, stereoisomers, isotopically labeled derivatives, and compositions thereof. Also provided are methods and kits involving the compounds or compositions for treating or preventing proliferative diseases (e.g., cancers (e.g., leukemia, melanoma, multiple myeloma), benign neoplasms, angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, autoinflammatory diseases, and autoimmune diseases) in a subject. Treatment of a subject with a proliferative disease using a compound or composition of the invention may inhibit the aberrant activity of a kinase, such as a cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) (e.g., cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7)), and therefore, induce cellular apoptosis and/or inhibit transcription in the subject.
