Truly-4
Truly-4 is a bifunctional Rpn13 PROTAC and CRBN ByeTAC degrader. Degradation of Rpn13 relies on CRBN-mediated E3 ubiquitin ligase activity, while degradation of CRBN itself proceeds via a ByeTAC mechanism of action. Truly-4 induces selective cytotoxicity in hematological cancer cells and solid cancer cells, but not in healthy cells, despite comparable levels of Rpn13 depletion in both cell types. Truly-4 can be used in studies related to B-cell lymphoma and triple-negative breast cancer.

Biological Activity

Cereblon |
Truly-4 (0.5-10 μM; 18 h) induces concentration-dependent degradation of CRBN (via E-ligase-independent ByeTAC mechanism) and Rpn13 (via ubiquitin-dependent PROTAC mechanism) in Ramos B-cell lymphoma cells, with 10 μM treatment reducing CRBN to 48% and Rpn13 to 35% of baseline levels after 18 h[1].
Truly-4 (0.5-10 μM; 18 h) induces concentration-dependent degradation of CRBN and Rpn13 in MDA-MB-468 triple-negative breast cancer cells, with 10 μM treatment reducing CRBN to 56% and Rpn13 to 39% of baseline levels after 18 h[1].
Truly-4 (0.001-100 μM; 48 h) induces selective cytotoxicity in Ramos B-cell lymphoma and MDA-MB-468 triple-negative breast cancer cells after 48 h incubation, with no significant toxicity observed in HEK-293T or MRC-5 nonmalignant cells[1].
Truly-4 (0.5-10 μM; 18 h) induces concentration-dependent degradation of Rpn13 but does not degrade CRBN in HEK-293T nonmalignant cells, with CRBN levels remaining stable or slightly elevated[1].

Fully abrogated degradation of both CRBN and Rpn13 when co-treated with 20 nM proteasome inhibitor MG-132.
Rescued Rpn13 degradation but did not affect CRBN degradation when co-treated with 10 nM ubiquitin-activating enzyme inhibitor TAK-243 or 10 nM NEDD8-activating enzyme inhibitor MLN4924.
Increased ubiquitinated Rpn13 levels by 51% relative to control at 25 μM.
Blocked CRBN degradation but modestly enhanced Rpn13 degradation when pre-treated with 25 μM Rpn2 peptide.
Attenuated degradation of both proteins when pre-treated with 25 μM TCL1 or immunomodulatory imide drug thalidomide.
Induced rapid and sustained degradation of both proteins over 48 h in time-course experiments.
