“…A typical PROTAC consists of three parts: a POI binding ligand, an E3 ubiquitin-binding ligand, and a linker connecting two ligands. Despite the presence of >600 putative E3 ligases in the human proteome, only a handful of E3 ligase ligands (CRBN [ 31 , 32 ], VHL [ 33 , 34 , 35 ], MDM [ 36 , 37 , 38 ], IAP [ 39 ], RNF114 [ 40 , 41 ], DCAF15 [ 42 ], DCAF 16 [ 43 ], and FEM1B [ 44 ]) are readily available for the design of a PROTAC ( Figure 4 ). The PROTAC approach has been successfully applied to degrade kinases, G protein-coupled receptors, nuclear receptors, membrane proteins, transcription factors, and neurodegenerative proteins aggregates [ 23 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 36 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 ].…”
