MYC targeting by OMO-103 in solid tumors: a phase 1 trial
Feb 6, 2024 · OMO-103 is a MYC inhibitor consisting of a 91-amino acid miniprotein. Here we present results from a phase 1 study of OMO-103 in advanced solid tumors, established to …
Omomyc Reveals New Mechanisms To Inhibit the MYC Oncogene
Oct 28, 2019 · Taken together, our data suggest that the mechanism of action of Omomyc is to bind DNA as either a homodimer or a heterodimer with Max that is formed cotranslationally, …
Omomyc Reveals New Mechanisms To Inhibit the MYC Oncogene
Omomyc treatment appears to rebalance the Myc/Max ratio by binding both Myc and Max proteins and preventing their interaction. Omomyc can function like Mad1, where it …
Climbing cancer’s MYC mountain - Nature
Nov 11, 2022 · Omomyc — a cell-penetrating peptide now renamed OMO-103 — appears safe and potentially effective in humans, they reported at the EORTC-NCI-AACR triple meeting in …
Intrinsic cell-penetrating activity propels Omomyc from proof of
Omomyc mini-protein is a dominant-negative form of MYC that is used to inhibit MYC for research purposes but was thought to be too unwieldy for in vivo therapy. However, Beaulieu et al. …
Omomyc is finally in the clinic. What a journey!
Omomyc forms heterodimers with MYC that are not able to bind DNA, but also homodimers and heterodimers with MAX that, instead, occupy DNA as inactive protein complexes, shutting …
OmoMYC blunts promoter invasion by oncogenic MYC to inhibit …
Oct 17, 2016 · OmoMYC attenuates both MYC-dependent activation and repression by competing with MYC/MAX for binding to chromatin, effectively lowering MYC/MAX occupancy at its …
The action mechanism of the Myc inhibitor termed Omomyc may …
Omomyc selectively targets Myc protein interactions: it binds c- and N-Myc, Max and Miz-1, but does not bind Mad or select HLH proteins. Specifically, it prevents Myc binding to promoter E …
Blocking Myc to Treat Cancer: Reflecting on Two Decades of Omomyc
Apr 4, 2020 · The recently described therapeutic effect of purified Omomyc mini-protein-following the surprising discovery of its cell-penetrating capacity-constitutes a paradigm shift. Now, …
