Abstract: The present application relates, in some aspects, to the development of an assay that uses cell survival and/or cell viability as a phenotypic identifier to positively select for agents that destabilize a protein of interest.

Abstract: Light-generating fusion proteins having a ligand binding site and a light-generating polypeptide moiety and their use as diagnostics, in drug screening and discovery, and as therapeutics, are disclosed. The light-generating fusion protein has a feature where the bioluminescence of the polypeptide moiety changes upon binding of a ligand at the ligand binding site. The ligand may be, for example, an enzyme present in an environment only under certain conditions, e.g., ubiquitin ligase in a hypoxic state, such that the light-generating fusion protein is “turned on” only under such conditions.

Abstract: The present application relates, in some aspects, to screening methods to identify test compounds that stabilize or destabilize a protein of interest. The present application is based, in some aspects, on the development of a plasmid that can be used to efficiently monitor the stabilities of thousands of proteins after specific perturbations. The plasmid allows for the co-expression of two reporter proteins, each of which is placed under the control of an IRES. In this way both reporters are transcribed together (i.e. are encoded by the same mRNA) and both are translated using an IRES.

Abstract: The present application relates, in some aspects, to the development of a plasmid that can be used to efficiently monitor the stabilities of thousands of proteins after specific perturbations. The plasmid allows for the co-expression of two reporter proteins, each of which is placed under the control of an IRES. Other aspects of the invention relate to a plasmid library, screening methods to identify proteins whose levels are modulated by a compound of interest, and methods for monitoring treatment of a subject with an IMiD compound.
