Abstract:
The prenyl‐protein chaperone PDEδ modulates the localization of lipidated proteins in the cell, but current knowledge about its biological function is limited. Small‐molecule inhibitors that target the PDEδ prenyl‐binding site have proven invaluable in the analysis of biological processes mediated by PDEδ, like KRas cellular trafficking. However, allosteric inhibitor release from PDEδ by the Arl2/3 GTPases limits their application. We describe the development of new proteolysis‐targeting chimeras (PROTACs) that efficiently and selectively reduce PDEδ levels in cells through induced proteasomal degradation. Application of the PDEδ PROTACs increased sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)‐mediated gene expression of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, which was accompanied by elevated levels of cholesterol precursors. This finding for the first time demonstrates that PDEδ function plays a role in the regulation of enzymes of the mevalonate pathway.
