ac, Schematic representation of the experimental strategy: a lentiviral GPS library of peptides substrates was generated through microarray oligonucleotide synthesis, wherein the same 540 ORFs exhibiting the greatest degree of stabilization upon MLN4924 treatment were expressed as a series of overlapping 24-mer tiles (a); comparative stability profiling in the presence and absence of MLN4924 then identified GFP–peptide fusions which were targeted by CRLs (b); and for the peptide substrates which exhibited the largest degree of stabilization, saturation mutagenesis was performed to quantify the stability of a panel of mutants in which each residue was mutated to all other possible residues, thereby defining degron motifs at amino acid resolution (c). dg, Example degron motifs targeted by Cullin-RING E3 ligases. Saturation mutagenesis results for substrates derived from the C-terminus of ALKBH7 (d) and internal peptides derived from ESRRA (e), MATN2 (f) and TOR1AIP2 (g) are shown. Source numerical data are available in Supplementary Tables 18 and 19.
