== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
In nucleic acid-binding proteins, short linear motifs (SLiMs)-an important subclass of intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs)-offer diverse opportunities for therapeutic intervention, yet their structural and functional roles remain largely elusive. Away from the active site of cancer immunotherapy target exonuclease TREX1, a novel modulation site formed by the intrinsically disordered alpha7-alpha8 loop is discovered by X-ray crystallography with newly identified inhibitors. Despite that the structure of alpha7-alpha8 loop upon binding-coupled disordered-to-ordered transition is inhibitor specific, a pattern of multivertex clamping is consistently observed. Mechanistically, the fuzzy TREX1-inhibitor interactions elucidated by structural analysis and molecular dynamics simulations reveal an ensemble of chemical-scale amphiphilic units for inhibitor moieties to anchor to. Functional assays confirm that our newly identified inhibitors disrupt the DNA binding and immunosuppressive activity of TREX1, establishing alpha7-alpha8 loop as a druggable SLiM. This work provides a first collection of atomic details for small-molecule inhibition involving a DNA-binding SLiM, and the mechanistic principles uncovered here may be generalized to targeting IDRs in cancer immunotherapy.
