The Waldmann group developed a new proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) which efficiently and selectively reduced PDEδ levels in cells through induced proteasomal degradation. Its application increased sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-mediated gene expression of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, which was accompanied by elevated levels of cholesterol precursors. This shows that PDEd function plays a role in the regulation of enzymes of the mevalonate pathway.
