Molecular glues of the regulatory ChREBP/14-3-3 complex protect beta cells from glucolipotoxicity - Nature Communications Targeting transcription factors with small molecules remains a significant challenge in drug discovery. Here, the authors present a structure-based approach to stabilize ChREBPα/14-3-3 interactions, s...

A molecular glue’ compound led to potent ChREBPα/14-3-3 PPI stabilization, retained ChREBPα in the cytoplasm, and efficiently protected β-cells from glucolipotoxicity while maintaining β-cell identity. @naturecomms.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We shows that molecular glues of the ChREBP/14-3-3 complex protect beta cells from glucolipotoxicity. This could lead to new treatments for Diabetes by preserving beta cell function. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Making America great means supporting research that saves lives, improves health, and drives new technology. Freezing NIH funding hurts all of us. Let’s tell our leaders to INCREASE funding for the NIH and keep America at the forefront of science and innovation!

Molecular glues of the regulatory ChREBP/14-3-3 complex protect beta cells from glucolipotoxicity The Carbohydrate Response Element Binding Protein (ChREBP) is a glucose-responsive transcription factor (TF) with two major splice isoforms (α and β). In chronic hyperglycemia and glucolipotoxicity, C...

New work led by Liora Katz at Mt. Sinai along with colleagues of a non-degrading molecular glue between a TF (ChREBP) and a 14-3-3 protein which effectively traps the TF in the nucleus, thereby preventing activation of its target genes in the nucleus. Congratulations!
