  • METHOD OF SCREENING FOR PEPTIDES CAPABLE OF BINDING TO A UBIQUITIN PROTEIN LIGASE (E3)
    Publication number: 20220236273
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of screening for peptides capable of binding to a ubiquitin protein ligase (E3), successful binding being determined by detecting the amount of a test protein in the cell. The invention relates to a method for determining if a peptide binds or is capable of binding to a ubiquitin protein ligase (E3) and thereby leads to degradation of a test protein, wherein the peptide is between about 7 and 110 amino acids in length, the method comprising: providing in a eukaryotic cell a candidate peptide functionally linked to a test protein, under conditions enabling ubiquitination of proteins by an E3; and detecting the amount of test protein present in the cell; whereby, a reduced amount of the test protein determines the candidate peptide as a peptide that binds or is capable of binding to an E3 (an E3-binding peptide).
