Chemical interrogation of microtubule eraser enzymes
Erasers of protein post-translational modifications are ubiquitous regulatory enzymes that control cellular function and are targeted for the treatment of disease. One key example are erasers of histone acetylation, where inhibitors have reached the clinic as cancer chemotherapy. Currently, however, multiple other erasers lack tools of study to determine their relevance and generate clinical candidate molecules. One main reason for this limitation is that erasers display multivalent substrate recognition mechanisms that are difficult to replicate with standard assays in vitro and can jeopardise data translation. I have recently developed a solution to detect histone deacetylase activity in…
