Abstract:Inhibition of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) via designed peptides is an effective strategy to interfere with their biological functions. The Elongin BC heterodimer (ELOB/C) is involved in transcription elongation and protein turnover by PPIs that involve the so-called BC-box. ELOB and ELOC are commonly upregulated in cancer and essential for cancer cell growth, making them attractive drug targets. However, no strategy has been established to inhibit their functions in cells, so far. Here, we report a pep… Show more
