SGC-UBD253

SGC-UBD253 Chemical probe for the ubiquitin binding domain of HDAC6.

The control may be requested here.

The probe is now available at Millipore-Sigma.

overview

SGC in collaboration with Dr Mark Lautens’ at the University of Toronto’s Department of Chemistry has developed the first chemical probe SGC-UBD253 for the ubiquitin binding domain (UBD) of HDAC6. SGC-UBD253 binds potently to HDAC6 UBD with KD = 84 nM (SPR) and inhibits the HDAC6-ISG15 interaction with EC50 = 1.9 micromolar (nanoBRET). SGC-UBD253N is a closely related negative control with KD = 32 micromolar (SPR).

properties
selectivity profile

Using sequence alignment of Zf-UBD pocket, 10 UBD-containing proteins in addition to HDAC6 were purified and tested for direct binding by SPR.

in vitro potency

Three biophysical methods clearly show SGC-UBD253 potently (≤100 nM) binds HDAC6-UBD.

cell based assay data

Using a nanoBRET assay, the chemical probe SGC-UBD253 considerably decreases the interaction between full-length HDAC6 with ISG15 relative to SGC-UBD253N.
