Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

53BP1 is a DNA damage response protein recruited to sites of double strand breaks through recognition of dimethylated lysine on histone 4 by its tandem Tudor domains. Like 53BP1, BRCA-1 plays a role in the regulation of DNA repair pathways, and BRCA-1 mutations have been strongly linked to breast and ovarian cancer. Interestingly, mice null for 53BP1 and BRCA-1 genes display minimal tumor formation, suggesting that the effects of deleterious BRCA-1 mutations could be prevented with potent 53BP1 small molecule antagonists. Herein, we describe a fragment screen that was used to identify compounds that bind to the 53BP1 Tudor domain and a chemoinformatic workflow to select near-neighbor analogues and establish structure activity relationships for these binders. The marked affinity improvements of the analogues over their parent fragments highlights the developability of these series and the utility of this approach in discovering novel hit compounds for 53BP1 and other methyl-lysine reader proteins.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
