Presentation Transcript

  1. Characterization of Small Molecule ETS Transcription Factor Binders Nicole M. Martinez Marius S. Pop and Levi A. Garraway Cancer Biology Program

  2. DOI:10.1038/nrd2275 Targeted Therapy in Cancer • “Druggable” targets • Obvious active site • Kinases • Other enzymes • “Undruggable” targets • No obvious pocket

  3. Many “Driver” Cancer Proteins are Currently “Undruggable” • Example: Oncogenic Transcription Factors • ETS Transcription Factors ERG Translocated in >50% of prostate cancers ETV1 Otis Brawley, National Cancer Institute Prostate Tumor

  4. ETS Transcription Factor Role in Prostate Cancer /ETV1 doi:10.1038/nm0106-14

  5. Can we develop a therapeutic?

  6. ERG truncated ERG full ETV1 MITF αHA Small-Molecule Microarrays (SMMs) Lysates expressing target protein DMSO stock solutions ha.11 aMouse-IgG-Cy5 ETV1 protein-small molecule interaction on a microarray fluorescent features reveal putative binding interactions

  10. List of ETS “Hit” Compounds NPC: Natural Products and commercials (Including FDA approved drugs) library PDI: Psychiatric Disease Initiative compounds *10,800 compounds per library

  11. ERG Assess Inhibitory Capabilities by Luciferase Assays ETS Luciferase Fold rep rep + ERG + compound rep + ERG
