Embodiment 1

[0043] Example 1 Tubulin degradation agent CRSMs binds to the colchicine site to promote tubulin degradation

[0044] The method of competition binding experiment was adopted. The Hela growing in the logarithmic phase was selected and spread on the 96-well plate on which the slide (cover glass) had been laid, and continued to culture for 24 hours until the cells were completely adhered to the wall. Then add 1 μM colchicine (col), pironetin (Pir), vinblastine (Vin) and maytansinoid (May) to incubate the cells for 1 hour, and then add tubulin degrading agent to continue to incubate for 16 hours , total protein was extracted, and western detection of tubulin degradation. The result is as figure 1 As shown, only the α / β-tubulin band at the colchicine site was observed, indicating that the tubulin degradation agent acts on the colchicine site. The bands of α / β-tubulin in cells treated with Pir, Vin and May disappeared, indicating that CRSMs, a tubulin degrading agent, can promot...

Embodiment 2

[0045] Example 2 Structural Biology Experiments to Investigate the Binding Mode of Tubulin Degrading Agents at the Colchicine Site

[0046] Protein expression and purification refer to the reported literature steps, RB3-SLD (RB3 protein stathmin-like domain) was expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified by anion exchange chromatography, then in 10mM HEPES-NaOH (150mMNaCl, 2mM DTT, pH =7.2) through gel filtration. The purified RB3-SLD protein was concentrated to 10 mg / mL and stored in a -80°C refrigerator. His-tagged TTL (recombinant protein) was also expressed in E. coli by Ni 2+ Affinity chromatography column was purified, followed by 20mM Bis propane buffer (200mM NaCl, 2.5mM MgCl 2 , 5 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 1% glycerol, pH = 6.5) with gel filtration. Finally concentrated to 20 mg / mL and stored in -80°C freezer. The purity of RB3 and TTL was checked by SDS-PAGE. Purchased porcine brain tubulin at a concentration of 10 mg / mL was dissolved in GTB buffer and stored at -8...

Embodiment 3

[0047] Example 3 Immunofluorescence experiment to investigate the effect of tubulin degrading agent on microtubule morphology

[0048] Microtubules play an important role in the process of cell mitosis. Microtubule-targeting agents can interfere with cell mitosis, block mitosis at a specific period and induce apoptosis, thereby exerting anti-tumor effects. While microtubule stabilizers such as paclitaxel promote the polymerization of microtubules during mitosis, microtubule destabilizers such as vincristine and colchicine promote the depolymerization of microtubules during mitosis. The morphological changes produced under the interference of targeting agents can be clearly and intuitively observed by immunofluorescence experiments. Therefore, we investigated the effects of tubulin degrading agents on microtubule morphological changes in HeLa cells.

[0049] The HeLa growing in the logarithmic phase was selected and spread on the 6-well plate on which the slide (cover glass) h...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of protein degradation, and particularly relates to a tubulin degradation agent CRSMs and application thereof. The invention provides the tubulin degradation agent CRSMs and application thereof in tubulin degradation to solve the problems that an existing tubulin inhibitor either promotes tubulin polymerization or inhibits tubulin polymerization, and no substance which directly targets tubulin and promotes tubulin degradation exists. The invention further provides application of the CRSMs in preparation of drugs for preventing or treating tumors. The invention provides a new choice for the development of anti-tumor drugs, and provides a new drug action approach, namely, tubulin polymerization does not need to be promoted or inhibited, but tubulin is directly degraded to exert the drug effect, so that the application prospect is very good.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of protein degradation, and in particular relates to a tubulin degrading agent CRSMs and its application. Background technique [0002] At present, the research and development of many cancer-targeted small molecule drugs usually focus on inhibiting the biochemical activity of the functional domain of the target protein to exert therapeutic effects. These small molecule drugs usually bind to the active sites of those oncogenic proteins, and many of these oncogenic proteins are active Kinases with similar site structures lead to high doses of small molecule drugs that are likely to cause non-specific side effects. Induction of protein degradation is a recently emerged novel anti-cancer mechanism that aims to reduce the overall levels of disease-associated proteins. Theoretically, it only needs small-molecule drugs to bind to oncogenic proteins briefly, and label oncogenic proteins as "need to clean up" befor...
