Show abstract
DCAF12 is the substrate recognition component of the CRL4 E3 ligase complex that can recognize C-terminal double-glutamic acid degrons to promote degradation of its cognate substrates via the ubiquitin proteasome system. MAGEA3 and CCT5 proteins were reported to be cellular targets of DCAF12. To further characterize the DCAF12 interactions with both MAGEA3 and CCT5, we developed a suite of biophysical and a proximity-based cellular NanoBRET assays showing that both MAGEA3 and CCT5 C-terminal degron peptides interact with DCAF12 in nanomolar affinity in vitro and in cells. Furthermore, we report here the 3.17 [A] cryo-EM structure of DCAF12-DDB1-MAGEA3 complex revealing the key DCAF12 residues involved in C-terminal degron recognition and binding. Our study provides new tools and resources to enable the discovery of small molecule handles targeting the WDR domain of DCAF12 for future PROTAC design and development.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
