Description: Cell-permeable, potent and selective proteasome inhibitor
Chemical Name: (2R,3S,4R)-3-Hydroxy-2-[(1S)-1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl]-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-pyrrolidinecarboxy-N-acetyl-L-cysteine thioester
Purity: ≥95% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Lactacystin
Lactacystin is a cell-permeable, potent and selective proteasome inhibitor. A Streptomyces metabolite that is thought to bind irreversibly to the active site N-terminal threonine residue of the catalytic β-subunit of the 20S proteasome, thereby inhibiting its chymotrypsin and trypsin-like activities. Induces neurite outgrowth in Neuro 2a neuroblastoma cells and has been reported to induce apoptosis in human monoblast U937 cells. Also inhibits NF-κB activation (IC50 = 10 μM).

Targeted Protein Degradation Poster
Degraders (e.g. PROTACs) are bifunctional small molecules, that harness the Ubiquitin Proteasome System (UPS) to selectively degrade target proteins within cells. They consist of three covalently linked components: an E3 ubiquitin ligase ligand, a linker and a ligand for the target protein of interest. Authored in-house, this poster outlines the generation of a toolbox of building blocks for the development of Degraders. The characteristics and selection of each of these components are discussed.
