MLN4924: additional activities beyond neddylation inhibition

MLN4924, a small molecular inhibitor of NEDD8 (neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8) activating enzyme (NAE), blocks cullin neddylation to inactivate cullin-RING ligase. We found that MLN4924 has additional activities: it triggers EGFR dimerization and activation...

Description
Summary:MLN4924, a small molecular inhibitor of NEDD8 (neuronal precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated protein 8) activating enzyme (NAE), blocks cullin neddylation to inactivate cullin-RING ligase. We found that MLN4924 has additional activities: it triggers EGFR dimerization and activation of RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT1 signals to stimulate tumor sphere formation and inhibit ciliogenesis; and it triggers PKM2 tetramerization to promote glycolysis.
