In this work, we described a photocatalytic approach, termed ligand-directed photodegradation of interacting proteins (LDPIP), for efficient protein-protein heterodimer degradation. This LDPIP approach utilizes a combination of a photosensitizing protein ligand and appropriate light and molecular oxygen to induce oxidative damage to the ligand-binding protein as well as its interacting protein partner. As a showcase study, a photosensitizing HER2 ligand HER-PS-I was rationally designed based on the FDA-approved HER2 inhibitor lapatinib to efficiently degrade HER2 together with its interacting protein partner HER3, which is thought to induce HER2-targeted therapy resistance and difficult to target by small molecules. HER-PS-I exhibited excellent anticancer activity against drug-resistant MDA-MB-453 cells and its three-dimensional multicellular spheroids. We hope that this LDPIP approach would find more applications in degrading proteins that are thought undruggable or difficult to drug.
