Popis: We hypothesized that the proximity-driven ubiquitylation of E3-interacting small molecules could affect the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligases. A series of XIAP BIR2 domain-binding small molecules was modified to append a nucleophilic primary amine. This modification transforms XIAP binders into inducers of XIAP degradation. The degradation of XIAP is E1- and proteasome-dependent, dependent on the ligase function of XIAP, and is rescued by subtle modifications of the small molecule that would obviate ubiquitylation. We demonstrate in vitro ubiquitylation of the small molecule that is dependent on its interaction with XIAP. Taken together, these results demonstrate the designed ubiquitylation of an engineered small molecule and a novel approach for the degradation of E3 ubiquitin ligases.
