Cell-based methods for profiling the kinase inhibitor selectivity are badly needed, especially for the irreversible kinase inhibitors. Here we reported a chemoproteomics approach for profiling the target proteins of irreversible kinase inhibitor with label free quantitative proteomics by using iodoacetamide alkyne as a chemical probe. In total 41 proteins were identified in high confidence (fold change 3.5, p value < 0.05) including PRDX4, STAT3, E2 conjugating enzymes UBE2L3, UBE2K, UBE2N, UBE2V1 and UBE2Z as well as E3 ligase TRIM 25. We vali-dated the interaction between pelitinib and PRDX4 with a cell-based assay, and discovered that pelitinib can induce the degradation of PRDX4. The discovery was confirmed by biochemical assay, cellular thermal shift assay and miRNA knockdown experiment. Our data suggested that pelitinib can be a covalent molecular glue inducing the degradation of PRDX4. In addition, our work demonstrated that identification of the interactions between ligand and ubiquitylation associated proteins by chemoproteomics profiling can be used as a new strategy for identifying molecular glue degraders.
