Prostate cancer (PCa) is primarily driven by aberrant Androgen Receptor (AR) signaling. Although there has been substantial advancement in antiandrogen therapies, resistance to these treatments remains a significant obstacle, often marked by continuous or enhanced AR signaling in resistant tumors. While the dysregulation of the ubiquitination-based protein degradation process is instrumental in the accumulation of oncogenic proteins, including AR, the molecular mechanism of ubiquitination-driven AR degradation remains largely undefined. We identified UBE2J1 as the critical E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme responsible for guiding AR ubiquitination and eventual degradation. The absence of UBE2J1, found in 5–15% of PCa patients, results in disrupted AR ubiquitination and degradation. This disruption leads to an accumulation of AR proteins, promoting resistance to antiandrogen treatments. By employing a ubiquitination-based AR degrader to adeptly restore AR ubiquitination, we reestablished AR degradation and inhibited the proliferation of antiandrogen-resistant PCa tumors. These findings underscore the fundamental role of UBE2J1 in AR degradation and illuminate an uncharted mechanism through which PCa maintains heightened AR protein levels, fostering resistance to antiandrogen therapies.

Accutar Biotech Inc., a biotechnology company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) – empowered drug discovery, today announced that Dr. Erika Hamilton, director of breast cancer research at Sarah Cannon Research Institute (SCRI), has joined the Scientific Advisory Board (“SAB”) of the company to advise on clinical trials of the company’s phase 1 breast cancer programs that are orally bioavailable, chimeric degrader molecules designed to target and degrade ERα protein with high potency and selectivity.
Dr. Hamilton is a leader in the field of both breast and gynecologic cancers. She had led numerous clinical trials, ranging from first-in-human phase I developmental trials to Phase III registrational trials. Her expertise led to her appointment as the chairperson of the ASCO Scientific Committee for Metastatic Breast Cancer, which is just one of her many recognitions and accomplishments. “We are honored to have Dr. Hamilton join our SAB at this critical inflection point for our company”, said Jie Fan, PhD, founder and CEO of Accutar. “Her innovative contributions to drug development, focus on advancing new therapies, and compassion for patients makes her the ideal person to help forge the next steps to bring our revolutionary medicine to patients.”

CRANBURY, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Accutar Biotechnology, Inc., a biotechnology company focusing on artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered drug discovery, today announced the dosing of the first patient in a Phase 1 study of AC0676, an orally bioavailable, chimeric degrader molecule designed to target and degrade Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) with high potency, selectivity, and broad mutant coverage.
“The initiation of this study distinguishes Accutar as the first company to successfully bring oral chimeric degraders against three different targets into the clinic,” said Jie Fan, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Accutar Biotechnology, Inc. “Leveraging our protein crystallography and AI-empowered PPI-TAC (Protein-Protein Interaction Targeting Chimera) platforms, AC0676 was designed to potently and selectively degrade both wildtype BTK and BTK mutations that confer drug resistance to both covalent and non-covalent BTK inhibitors, including but not limited to C481S and kinase dead mutations such as L528W. We are excited about the differentiated therapeutic profile of AC0676 and its broad potential to treat patients with B-cell malignancies.”
The purpose of the Phase 1 multi-center, open-label study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of AC0676 treatment in patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies, including Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL), non-GCB Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL), Follicular Lymphoma (FL), , Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL), or Waldenström Macroglobulinemia (WM).
