用语言模型生成可降解Wnt3a蛋白的PROTAC分子,兼顾结构与性能约束。
Language model driven: a PROTAC generation pipeline with dual constraints of structure and property
- 基于Transformer的生成模型,双约束(结构+性质)设计PROTAC分子。
- 针对Wnt3a靶点生成有效分子,体外验证显示其具备降解能力。
- 适合药物研发人员快速生成高潜力PROTAC候选分子。
由于三元复合物建模不完善,计算机辅助药物设计工具在PROTAC研发中的应用受限。本研究提出一种名为LM-PROTAC的AI辅助PROTAC分子设计流程,即基于语言模型驱动的蛋白水解靶向嵌合体。该方法采用分子片段表示,并引入结构与性质双重约束(DCT),通过语言模型筛选高亲和力片段;在生成过程中同时控制结构与理化性质以满足特定场景需求;最后经两轮多维性质预测模型筛选,得到一批可降解疾病相关靶蛋白的PROTAC分子,并在体外实验中验证有效性。以肿瘤关键靶点Wnt3a为例,LM-PROTAC成功生成可抑制Wnt3a的PROTAC分子,结果表明DCT能高效生成靶向并降解Wnt3a的PROTAC。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The imperfect modeling of ternary complexes has limited the application of computer-aided drug discovery tools in PROTAC research and development. In this study, an AI-assisted approach for PROTAC molecule design pipeline named LM-PROTAC was developed, which stands for language model driven Proteolysis Targeting Chimera, by embedding a transformer-based generative model with dual constraints on structure and properties, referred to as the DCT. This study utilized the fragmentation representation of molecules and developed a language model driven pipeline. Firstly, a language model driven affinity model for protein compounds to screen molecular fragments with high affinity for the target protein. Secondly, structural and physicochemical properties of these fragments were constrained during the generation process to meet specific scenario requirements. Finally, a two-round screening of the preliminary generated molecules using a multidimensional property prediction model to generate a batch of PROTAC molecules capable of degrading disease-relevant target proteins for validation in vitro experiments, thus achieving a complete solution for AI-assisted PROTAC drug generation. Taking the tumor key target Wnt3a as an example, the LM-PROTAC pipeline successfully generated PROTAC molecules capable of inhibiting Wnt3a. The results show that DCT can efficiently generate PROTAC that targets and hydrolyses Wnt3a.
