Figure Legend Snippet: (a) PROTACs are bifunctional molecules, consisting of a target protein-binding ligand and an E3 ligase ligand attached via a linker. Upon binding of both targets, the E3 ligase catalyses ubiquitination of the target protein, inducing its degradation. (b) Structure of p38α/β-targeting PROTAC NR-7h. The shaded regions indicate the kinase-binding ligand (based on PH-797804) and the CRBN E3 ligase ligand. A549 cells treated with 10 μM NR-7h for 24 h show significant degradation of p38 kinase (c) but no effects on cell viability, as measured by MTS assay (d) . A549 cells infected with OC43 (MOI=0.1) and treated with 10 μM NR-7h showed significant reduction of viral infectivity (e) and viral RNA (f) after 72 h. (g) NR-7h showed greater antiviral efficacy compared to two p38 kinase small molecule inhibitors (NR-7h, IC 50 1.0 nM; PH-797804, IC 50 >10 µM; LY2228820, IC 50 648.4 nM). Graphs show mean ± SEM (n=3); *, p≤0.05; **, p≤0.01; ***, p≤0.001.
Techniques Used: Protein Binding, Binding Assay, Ubiquitin Proteomics, MTS Assay, Infection
Figure Legend Snippet: BHK-21 cells treated with 10 μM NR-7h for 24 h show significant degradation of p38 kinase (a) but no effects on cell viability, as measured by MTS assay (b) . BHK-21 cells infected with OC43 (MOI=0.1) and treated with 10 μM NR-7h showed significant reduction of viral infectivity (c) and viral RNA (d) after 72 h. (e) NR-7h showed greater inhibition in BHK-21 cells compared to two p38 kinase small molecule inhibitors (NR-7h, IC 50 9.9 nM; PH-797804, IC 50 3.5 µM; LY2228820, IC 50 69.3 nM). Graphs show mean ± SEM (n=3); *, p≤0.05; **, p≤0.01; ***, p≤0.001. Graphs show mean ± SEM (n=3); *, p≤0.05.
Techniques Used: MTS Assay, Infection, Inhibition
Figure Legend Snippet: (a) BHK-21 cells were infected with OC43, and treated with 10 µM NR-7h at 0, 1, 3, or 6 h post-infection, and quantified 14 h post-infection. (b) Quantification of infection was normalised to DMSO-treated cells. Inhibition of infection was not observed for any of these conditions. Graphs show mean ± SEM (n=3).
Techniques Used: Infection, Inhibition
Figure Legend Snippet: Cell viability of A549 cells treated with (a) MG132 or (b) MLN4924, no cytotoxicity was observed up to 10 µM for both inhibitors. A549 cells treated with 10 µM NR-7h and (c) MG132 (5 µM) or (d) MLN4924 (3 µM) showed no degradation of p38 kinase compared to when no inhibitors were present. A549 cells infected with OC43 (MOI=0.1) showed significant reduction in infection 72 h after treatment in presence of NR-7h, but infectivity was recovered in presence of (e) MG132 (5 µM) or (f) MLN4924 (3 µM). Graphs show mean ± SEM (n=3); **, p≤0.01; ***, p≤0.001.
