MedKoo Cat#: 465992 | Name: AUTAC4

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

AUTAC4 is a mitochondria-targeting autophagy-targeting chimera (AUTAC). AUTAC4 is an autophagy-targeting chimera targeting mitochondria comprising p-fluorobenzyl guanine joined by a PEG linker to a 2-phenylindole-3-glyoxyaminde ligand for the translocator protein on the outer mitochondrial membrane. AUTAC4 downregulates cytosolic proteins and promotes targeted mitochondrial turnover via mitophagy.

More Info
Protein silencing represents an essential tool in biomedical research. Targeted protein degradation (TPD) strategies exemplified by PROTACs are rapidly emerging as modalities in drug discovery. However, the scope of current TPD techniques is limited because many intracellular materials are not substrates of proteasomal clearance. Here, we described a novel targeted-clearance strategy (autophagy-targeting chimera [AUTAC]) that contains a degradation tag (guanine derivatives) and a warhead to provide target specificity. As expected from the substrate scope of autophagy, AUTAC degraded fragmented mitochondria as well as proteins. Mitochondria-targeted AUTAC accelerated both the removal of dysfunctional fragmented mitochondria and the biogenesis of functionally normal mitochondria in patient-derived fibroblast cells. Cytoprotective effects against acute mitochondrial injuries were also seen. Canonical autophagy is viewed as a nonselective bulk decomposition system, and none of the available autophagy-inducing agents exhibit useful cargo selectivity. With its target specificity, AUTAC provides a new modality for research on autophagy-based drugs.
