Time for a beer. A very long read on item 3 and have skipped through a lot of it. Will take deeper look later.
Indicative of yet more in combo effectiveness.
No indications of any clinical approvals.
5-Ph-IAA is a derivative of IAA. 5-Ph-IAA, a ligand, establishes the auxin-inducible degron 2 (AID2) system together with an OsTIR1 (F74G) mutant. AID2 induces rapid and efficient depletion of mAID-fused proteins to study protein function in living cells, causing tumor suppression.
Together, these results suggest that a DNA-PK-CHK1 axis is engaged at stalled forks in response to ATR and TIM deficiency to promote replication catastrophe, which is separable from the initial role of CHK1 under the canonical ATR-CHK1 checkpoint to counteract the replication damage triggered by acute TIM loss. In this sense, CHK1 plays a dual role, i.e. fork protection and fork destabilization, depending on the status of ATR at TIM-deficient stalled forks.
ATR-CHK1 is indispensable for preventing fork breakage at unchallenged forks and replicating fragile sites (50–52). Our TIM-mAID model reflects the physiological infliction of endogenous replication stress, such as stochastic replisome dysfunction, progression through difficult-to-replicate regions and DNA repeats, and oncogene activation during which replication forks could be challenged, thereby underscoring the coordinated efforts between the FPC and ATR to guard the replicating genome in a collective way.
Very promising indications for a vital ATP inhibitor in the DDR pathway, I will add. Very recent released literature too.
Good find C79.
