Abstract: Transcription factors (TFs) represent a major class of therapeutic targets for the treatment of human diseases including cancer. Although the biological function and even crystal structure of many TFs have been clearly elucidated, there is still no viable approach to target the majority of TFs, thus rendering them undruggable for decades. PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) have emerged as a powerful tool for the pharmaceutical development since the effect of PROTACs largely relies on engineered protein-protein interaction to aid the degradation of targets by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). The present disclosure provides a DNA-PROTAC platform for targeted degraders of individual TFs of interest. These DNA based Transcription Factor targetting PROTACS (or “TF-PROTACS”) may provide specificity to TF degradation based on the conserved DNA-binding motifs of respective TFs.
