Abstract

The phosphorylation of 14-3-3 binding motif is involved in many cellular processes. A strategy that enables targeted degradation of 14-3-3-binding phosphoproteins (14-3-3-BPPs) for studying their functions is highly desirable for basic research. Here, we report a phosphorylation-induced, ubiquitin-proteasome-system-mediated targeted protein degradation (TPD) strategy that allows specific degradation of 14-3-3-BPPs. Specifically, by ligating a modified von Hippel-Lindau E3-ligase with an engineered 14-3-3 bait, we generated a protein chimera referred to as Targeted Degradation of 14-3-3-binding PhosphoProtein (TDPP). TDPP can serve as a universal degrader for 14-3-3-BPPs based on the specific recognition of the phosphorylation in 14-3-3 binding motifs. TDPP shows high efficiency and specificity to a difopein-EGFP reporter, general and specific 14-3-3-BPPs. TDPP can also be applied for the validation of 14-3-3-BPPs. These results strongly support TDPP as a powerful tool for 14-3-3 related research.

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.
