Overview

**Ab-PROTAC 3** is a preclinical trastuzumab-based antibody-PROTAC conjugate designed to achieve HER2-dependent degradation of bromodomain-containing protein 4. The conjugate uses trastuzumab to bind HER2-positive cancer cells and deliver an intracellularly activatable BRD4-directed PROTAC. Following HER2-mediated internalization and lysosomal trafficking, hydrolysis of the antibody linker releases an active JQ1-derived, von Hippel-Lindau-recruiting PROTAC that induces ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated BRD4 degradation. In published cell-line studies, Ab-PROTAC 3 selectively degraded BRD4 in HER2-positive breast-cancer cells while sparing HER2-negative cells. It was developed as a proof-of-concept approach for tissue-selective targeted protein degradation.
