A phenotypic screen enables high-throughput target-first discovery of molecular glue degraders
A new screen platform named DEFUSE (DEath FUSion Escape) enables high-throughput discovery of small molecule protein degraders. DEFUSE identified SKPer1, a molecule that works by inducing proximity between an oncogenic driver and an E3 ligase, opening new avenues for targeted protein degradation.
