Description:
Lenalidomide is a drug with clinical efficacy in multiple myeloma and other B cell neoplasms, but its mechanism of action is unknown. Using quantitative proteomics, we found that lenalidomide causes selective ubiquitination and degradation of two lymphoid transcription factors, IKZF1 and IKZF3, by the CRBN-CRL4 ubiquitin ligase. IKZF1 and IKZF3 are essential transcription factors in multiple myeloma. A single amino acid substitution of IKZF3 conferred resistance to lenalidomide-induced degradation and rescued lenalidomide-induced inhibition of cell growth. Similarly, we found that lenalidomide-induced interleukin-2 production in T cells is due to depletion of IKZF1 and IKZF3. These findings reveal a previously unknown mechanism of action for a therapeutic agent: alteration of the activity of an E3 ubiquitin ligase, leading to selective degradation of specific targets.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4077049/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4077049/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kronke, Jan -- Udeshi, Namrata D -- Narla, Anupama -- Grauman, Peter -- Hurst, Slater N -- McConkey, Marie -- Svinkina, Tanya -- Heckl, Dirk -- Comer, Eamon -- Li, Xiaoyu -- Ciarlo, Christie -- Hartman, Emily -- Munshi, Nikhil -- Schenone, Monica -- Schreiber, Stuart L -- Carr, Steven A -- Ebert, Benjamin L -- P01 CA078378/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA108631/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P01 CA155258/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- P50 CA100707/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL082945/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01HL082945/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- RL1- HG004671/HG/NHGRI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Jan 17;343(6168):301-5. doi: 10.1126/science.1244851.
