Converging mechanism of UM171 and KBTBD4 neomorphic cancer mutations
Nature, Published online: 12 February 2025; doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08533-3We show that gain-of-function cancer mutations in the KBTBD4 E3 ligase promote neodegradation of substrates via a shape-complementarity-based mechanism, which converges with the mechanism of action of the UM171 molecular glue degrader and can be blocked by HDAC1/2 inhibitors.
