We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

| + | WRN helicase is an established synthetic lethal target for inhibition in the treatment of microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) and mismatch repair deficient (MMRd) cancers. The identification of helicase inhibitors is challenging as high-throughput biochemical screening campaigns typically return few validated hits that are often inactive in cell-based assays. Herein, we highlight the power of non-covalent fragment-based lead discovery in locating new druggable allosteric sites on WRN, enabling us to bypass the challenging behavior of WRN during high-throughput screening hampering hit identification. During the fragment optimization process, structures of WRN with key prioritized fragments reveal multiple conformations of WRN with significant domain rotations up to 180 degrees , including a WRN conformation not previously described. Rooted in a combination of biochemical, biophysical, and structural approaches, we present the detailed analyses of optimized chemical matter evolved from screening hits and the unique ability of WRN to accommodate diverse conformations as detailed by structural characterization. | ||
