本课题组致力于利用蛋白组学分析降解组学分析深度突变扫描Cryo-EM等多学科交叉技术,专注于药物靶点发现和药物设计的基础研究。尤其关注E3连接酶识别底物的作用模式分子胶介导的「难成药靶点」蛋白水平调控的作用机制,及全新分子胶的发现研究。在拓展分子胶可靶向的E3连接酶靶向空间、揭示新型分子胶作用模式等方面取得系列成果。总计发表SCI论文9篇,其中近5年以第一作者(含共同)及通讯作者,发表高水平论文3篇,包括Nature 论文2篇等。研究成果被同期 Nature、Nature Reviews Drug Discovery、Molecular Cell、Cancer Discovery等杂志专题报道及评述。The group integrates proteomics, degradomics, deep mutational scanning, Cryo-EM, and other interdisciplinary approaches to study drug target discovery and mechanism-driven drug design. We focus on how E3 ligases recognize substrates, how molecular glues regulate traditionally difficult-to-drug targets at the protein level, and the discovery of new molecular glues. The group has made a series of advances in expanding the E3 ligase target space accessible to molecular glues and revealing new modes of molecular glue action. Dr. Xie has published 9 SCI-indexed papers, including 3 high-impact papers in the past five years as first author (including co-first author) and corresponding author, with 2 papers in Nature. These studies have been highlighted or reviewed by Nature, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, Molecular Cell, Cancer Discovery, and other journals.

UM171 molecular glue discovery

UM171 作为分子胶诱导 CRL3KBTBD4–HDAC1/2 非对称组装并降解 CoRESTUM171 glues asymmetric CRL3–HDAC1/2 assembly to degrade CoREST

拓展分子胶可靶向的E3连接酶空间:UM171 作为分子胶促进CRL3KBTBD4与HDAC1/2 相互作用,从而有效降解与HDAC1/2相作用的 CoREST 转录抑制复合体;打破了以往仅有CRBN、VHL等少有的几个E3连接酶可用的局限。Expanding the E3 ligase space targetable by molecular glues: UM171 promotes CRL3KBTBD4 interactions with HDAC1/2, leading to effective degradation of the CoREST transcriptional corepressor complex. This breaks the previous limitation that only a few E3 ligases (CRBN, VHL, etc.) were accessible.

The discovery of convergent mechanisms between genetic and chemical molecular glues opens an entirely new path for discovering chemical molecular glues.
