Item Rhodium(II) Proximity-Labeling Identifies a Novel Target Site on STAT3 for Inhibitors with Potent Anti-Leukemia Activity(Wiley, 2015) Minus, Matthew B.; Liu, Wei; Vohidov, Farrukh; Kasembeli, Moses M.; Long, Xin; Krueger, Michael; Stevens, Alexandra; Kolosov, Mikhail I.; Tweardy, David J.; Sison, Edward Allen R.; Redell, Michele S.; Ball, Zachary T.Nearly 40 % of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) suffer relapse arising from chemoresistance, often involving upregulation of the oncoprotein STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3). Herein, rhodium(II)-catalyzed, proximity-driven modification identifies the STAT3 coiled-coil domain (CCD) as a novel ligand-binding site, and we describe a new naphthalene sulfonamide inhibitor that targets the CCD, blocks STAT3 function, and halts its disease-promoting effects in vitro, in tumor growth models, and in a leukemia mouse model, validating this new therapeutic target for resistant AML.
