Anirban Maitra: Preclinical studies with a KRASG12V directed PROTAC

Anirban Maitra , Professor of Pathology and Translational Molecular Pathology at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, shared a post on X:

“A second KRASG12V degrader manuscript in ten days.

This one is published in Journal of Clinical Investigation and details preclinical studies with a KRASG12V directed PROTAC, using the dTAG-based pipeline from Behnam Nabet that enables degradation of specific proteins of interest in vivo by generating FKBP12F36V fusion proteins.

The preprint from 10 days prior also generated FKBP12F36V-KRASG12V mice with the dTAG pipeline for targeted protein degradation (TPD) in lung cancer.
Nice to see two independent efforts across the Atlantic come to fruition.”
