Dysregulation of DEAD-box proteins is well-established in a variety of diseases, including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, making them attractive therapeutic targets. However, their classification as \"undruggable\" has historically hindered small-molecule-based modulation. In this study, we focus on DDX21, a member of the DEAD-box family involved in ribosome biogenesis and transcription regulation. As a proof of concept for targeting such RNA-binding proteins, we developed a lysate-based small-molecule microarray platform to identify compounds that directly bind DDX21. This screen led to the discovery of KI-DX-014, a small-molecule compound capable of inhibiting the interaction of DDX21 with RNA. KI-DX-014 modulated the RNA-dependent functions of DDX21, including its ATPase activity and biomolecular condensate formation. Furthermore, KI-DX-014 attenuated the DDX21-dependent release of P-TEFb from the 7SK snRNP complex in vitro, suppressed P-TEFb-dependent phosphorylation of the RNA polymerase II CTD, and induced developmental defects in zebrafish embryos. These findings reveal a previously unexploited therapeutic avenue and establish KI-DX-014 as a chemical probe for dissecting the biological functions of DDX21 in both normal physiology and disease states.","PeriodicalId":11,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Biology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144598892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
