thermal probe

MN551 is a covalent modulator of SOCS2 and CISH, with selectivity for SOCS2 and CISH over SOCS4. MN551 covalently modifies Cys111 in the SH2 domain of SOCS2 and Cys144 in the EF loop of the CISH SH2 domain, while only minimally modifying Cys471 in the BG loop of the SOCS6 SH2 domain. MN551 increases the thermal stability of the recombinant SOCS2-ElonginB-ElonginC complex and competitively blocks the binding of SOCS2 to its substrate; when delivered via the prodrug MN714, it blocks the intracellular recruitment of substrates by SOCS2. MN551 can serve as a chemical probe for investigating the biological functions of SOCS2 and its CRL5 complex, and also act as an E3 ligase-binding module in proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) .

WX-02-23 is a small-molecule probe that stereoselectively and site-specifically binds to C258 of FOXA1 and C1111 of SF3B1. WX-02-23 remodels FOXA1's chromatin binding and pioneer activity in a DNA-dependent manner, disrupts spliceosome assembly, and enhances the thermal stability of SF3B1. WX-02-23 inhibits tumor cell proliferation and induces apoptosis. WX-02-23 can be used for research on cancers such as prostate cancer .
