| Abstract | Identification of direct modulators of transcription factor protein–protein interactions is a key challenge for ligand discovery that promises to significantly advance current approaches to cancer therapy. Here, we report an inhibitor of NADH-dependent dimerization of the C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) transcriptional repressor, identified by screening genetically encoded cyclic peptide libraries of up to 64 million members. CtBP dimers form the core of transcription complexes associated with epigenetic regulation of multiple genes that control many characteristics of cancer cells, including proliferation, survival and migration. CtBP monomers also have distinct and critical cellular function, thus current experimental tools that deplete all forms of a targeted protein (e.g. siRNA) do not allow the cellular consequences of this metabolically regulated transcription factor to be deciphered. The most potent inhibitor from our screen (cyclo-SGWTVVRMY) is demonstrated to disrupt CtBP dimerization in vitro and in cells. This compound is used as a chemical tool to establish that the NADH-dependent dimerization of CtBPs regulates the maintenance of mitotic fidelity in cancer cells. Treatment of highly glycolytic breast cancer cell lines with the identified inhibitor significantly reduced their mitotic fidelity, proliferation and colony forming potential, whereas the compound does not affect mitotic fidelity of cells with lower glycolytic flux. This work not only links the altered metabolic state of transformed cells to a key determinant of the tumor cell phenotype, but the uncovered compound also serves as the starting point for the development of potential therapeutic agents that target tumors by disrupting the CtBP chromatin-modifying complex. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
