Transcription Factors

Transcription Factor Drug Discovery

Transcription factors (TFs) regulate gene expression and control a wide range of biological processes. Although they have traditionally been challenging drug targets because many lack well-defined binding pockets, their interactions with DNA and multiprotein complexes have become increasingly accessible through advances in screening technologies and computational modeling.

ICE Bioscience supports challenging and historically undruggable targets with biochemical, biophysical, and cell-based assays for evaluating transcription-factor binding, pathway activity, and compound selectivity.

Platform Capabilities

Integrated assays for challenging transcription factors

01 / SPR

Real-time binding analysis for transcription factors and complexes including STAT proteins and c-Myc.

02 / FP

Fluorescence Polarization assays for ligand-binding analysis, including nuclear receptor targets such as AR.

03 / TR-FRET & ALPHALISA

Proximity-based detection of binding interactions involving STAT proteins, IRF5, and c-Myc/Max/DNA complexes.

04 / CELL-BASED ASSAYS

Reporter-gene assays, phosphorylated STAT measurements, ELISA, and flow cytometry for pathway and cellular activity analysis.

Functional transcription-factor assays

01 / REPORTER GENE ASSAYS

Reporter-gene systems assess transcription-factor activity in living cells by monitoring changes in gene expression.

02 / PHOSPHORYLATED STAT ASSAYS

ELISA, flow cytometry, and related formats quantify phosphorylated STAT proteins as indicators of transcription-factor pathway activation.
