UNC1215

UNC1215 is a potent, selective antagonist of L3MBTL3 with cellular activity. Lethal (3) malignant brain tumor-like protein 3 (L3MBTL3) is a putative polycomb group (PcG) protein with gene-repressing activity, a member of the MBT family of methyllysine binders. Methyl-lysine binding proteins are a family of proteins that are important epigenetic regulators that “read” the post-translational methylation state of histone lysine residues and modulate protein-protein interactions that regulate gene expression. UNC1215 has an IC₅₀ of 20 nM and > 100-fold selectivity over 13 HMTs and selected representatives of kinases, ion channels, 7TMs, and other epigenetic proteins. UNC1215 showed a significant decrease in FRAP recovery (Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching) time below 1 microM in cells using GFP-L3MBTL3.
