Homolog-Selective Degradation as a Strategy to Probe the Function of CDK6 in AML
Open accessAbstract
The design of selective small molecules is often stymied by similar ligand binding pockets. Here, we report BSJ-03-123, a phthalimide-based degrader that exploits protein-interface determinants to achieve proteome-wide selectivity for the degradation of cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6). Pharmacologic CDK6 degradation targets a selective dependency of acute myeloid leukemia cells, and transcriptomics and phosphoproteomics profiling of acute degradation of CDK6 enabled dynamic mapping of its immediate role in coordinating signaling and transcription.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“Several mechanisms have been shown to contribute to this increase in selectivity. This includes steric incapability of some targets to form a productive ternary complex, or lack of a suitably positioned lysine residue for ubiquitination.62−69”
From Advancing Targeted Protein Degradation via Multiomics Profiling and Artificial Intelligence (2023) · cites this paper as [67]
In the citing paper
“Beginning a targeted protein degrader discovery project with solid prior knowledge of optimal chemotype-target pairs can rapidly speed up hit-to-lead time (Brand et al., 2019; Cromm et al., 2018; Dobrovolsky et al., 2019; Jiang et al., 2019; Li et al., 2019; Olson et al., 2018).”
From Mapping the Degradable Kinome Provides a Resource for Expedited Degrader Development (2020) · cites this paper as Brand et al., 2019
In the citing paper
“Whereas multiple studies have described numerous CRBN-recruiting dual-selective degraders and CDK6-selective degraders 70–73, none report CDK4-selective degraders; the only reported CDK4-selective degraders are built on a slightly different warhead, ribociclib 74.”
From Rationalizing PROTAC-Mediated Ternary Complex Formation Using Rosetta (2021) · cites this paper as [70]
In the citing paper
“BSJ-03-123, a CRBN-based CDK6 degrader, was reported to selectively degrade CDK6 but not CDK4 in AML cell lines because it can form a ternary complex with CDK6 and CRBN but not with CDK4 and CRBN [121].”
From Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are emerging therapeutics for hematologic malignancies (2020) · cites this paper as [121]
In the citing paper
“Even when a PROTAC with exquisite selectivity is developed, the determinants driving its specificity profile often remain complex, obscure or puzzling 29,30 .”
From Targeted protein degradation: expanding the toolbox (2019) · cites this paper as [30]

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
