Discoveryof High-Affinity Peptide Ligands Targetingthe SPIN1 Tudor 3 Domain Via a Minimalist Pruning Strategy

Abstract Spindlin1 (SPIN1) is an epigenetic reader involved in oncology, whose third Tudor domain remains largely underexplored. Here, we applied a minimalist pruning strategy to the 26-mer peptide DOCpep3 to identify the core pharmacophore for SPIN1 Tudor 3 domain binding. This...
