Title: | Hydrocarbon-stapled polypeptides for enhancement of endosome-lysosomal degradation | Authors: | Zhao, Y Wu, S Yang, W He, Y Li, X Qiu, X |
Issue Date: | 14-Apr-2020 | Source: | US Patent 10,618,939 B2. Washington, DC: US Patent and Trademark Office, 2020. | Abstract: | The present invention relates to a Beclin 1-UVRAG complex structure which reveals a tightly packed coiled coil assembly with Beclin 1 and UVRAG residues complementing each other to form a stable dimeric complex. This potent physical interaction is critical for UVRAG-dependent EGFR degradation but less critical for autophagy. Targeting the Beclin 1 coiled coil domain with rationally designed stapled peptides leads to enhanced autophagy activity and EGFR degradation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines, suggesting translational value for these compounds. | Rights: | Assignee: The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. |
