BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0015]
  • FIG.1 presents a table and an image of a gel showing that FKBP substrate is ubiquitinated in vitro through sfVHL mediated by dTAGV-1 PROTAC in presence of E1 & E2.
  • FIG.2 presents graphs showing the FKBP-GFP to RFP signal ratio when treated with dTAG-V1 (dose curve) and Bortezomib (1 or 10 ⁇ M).
  • FIG.3 presents microscopy images showing the data plotted in the graphs of FIG.2.
  • the images are of dTAG-V1 treated Sf9 cells expressing FKBP-GFP-P2A-RFP observed in Brightfield, green fluorescent protein and red fluorescent protein excitation wavelengths.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION Compounds, compositions, and methods for inhibiting and modulating protein levels in an insect are provided.
  • the bifunctional compounds are PROTACs, and methods comprise their use in targeting and modulating the levels of proteins of interest (POI) in an insect cell.
  • the PROTAC compositions function to recruit endogenous proteins to an insect ubiquitin ligase enzyme for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation or inhibition.
  • the compounds may be designed to target any protein of interest present in an insect cell.
  • the compounds may be provided in agricultural compositions.
  • heterobifunctional molecules depend on non-UPS pathways to degrade a protein of interest (POI). These classes include autophagy-targeting chimeras (AUTACs), autophagosome-tethering compounds (ATTECs), lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs), molecular glues, and antibody-based PROTACs (AbTACs).
  • AUTACs autophagy-targeting chimeras
  • ATTECs autophagosome-tethering compounds
  • LYTACs lysosome-targeting chimeras
  • AbTACs antibody-based PROTACs
  • AUTACs and ATTECs are also macroautophagy degradation-targeting chimeras (MADTACs).
  • MADTACs macroautophagy degradation-targeting chimeras
  • AUTECs and ATTECs focus on intracellular triggering of targeted protein degradation, while LYTACs and AbTACs trigger intercellular degradation via an extracellular process.
  • AUTACs link a warhead for the POI to a guanine derivative that tags the protein for degradation by the autophagy machinery.
  • ATTECs link a POI warhead to a ligand that binds to the autophagy protein LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 ⁇ ) glue, thereby bypassing the ubiquitin pathways by directly tethering the POI to the autophagosome.
  • LYTACs bind a membrane-bound POI and the extracellular domains of a lysosome-shuttling receptor, which then drags the POI into the lysosome for degradation.
  • AbTACs are bispecific antibodies that recruit membrane bound E3 ligases to a membrane POI for degradation by the lysosome degradation pathway.
  • Molecular glues are small molecules that act as adhesives by making two proteins bind each other. Molecular glues engage the E3 ligase allowing that complex to recruit its target. CHAMPs are bifunctional molecules similar to PROTACs. CHAMPs recruit the POI via a chaperone protein complex, leading to the ubiquitination of the POI and then the degradation of the POI via the proteasome system. Chaperones can interact with a diverse collection of E3 ligases.
  • the key chaperone HSP90 (enabling the use of CHAMPs for human therapeutics) is highly conserved in insects: e.g., 81% (bitscore of 1,131) between humans and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) with 14 out of 15 key amino acid residues perfectly identical in the binding site being used to bind to HSP90.
  • compositions and methods that relate to the surprising and unexpected discovery that levels of target proteins expressed in an insect cell may be controlled with compounds comprising one or more protein targeting moieties (PTM) that each independently bind a target protein, one or more ligase targeting moieties (LTM) that each independently bind a ubiquitin ligase that is functional in an insect cell and a linker covalently bonded to the one or more protein targeting moieties and the one or more ligase targeting moieties.
  • PTM protein targeting moieties
  • LTM ligase targeting moieties
  • An E3 ubiquitin ligase protein (e.g., Von Hippel-Lindau E3 ubiquitin ligase (VHL) or Cereblon (CRBN)) ubiquitinates a target protein once it and the target protein are placed in proximity by a bifunctional or chimeric construct that binds the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein and the target protein. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides such compounds and compositions comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety coupled to a protein target binding moiety, which result in the ubiquitination of a chosen target protein and leads to degradation of the target protein by the proteasome.

Description

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TARGETED INHIBITION AND DEGRADATION OF PROTEINS IN AN INSECT CELL CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No.63/402,687, filed August 31, 2022, and U.S. Provisional Application No.63/530,395, filed August 2, 2023, the full disclosures of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. FIELD [0002] This disclosure describes compositions, compounds, and methods for modulating the levels of target proteins in insects and insect cells. In particular, this disclosure describes compositions comprising one or more protein targeting moieties, one or more ligase targeting moieties, and a linker covalently bonded to the one or more protein targeting moieties and the one or more ligase targeting moieties, as well as methods for the use of such compositions. BACKGROUND [0003] Insect pests continue to be a major cause of crop losses. In the US alone, billions of dollars are lost every year due to infestation by various genera of insects. In addition to losses in field crops, insect pests also cause burdens to vegetable and fruit growers and producers of ornamental flowers, making insects a general nuisance to gardeners and homeowners. Numerous commercially valuable plants, including common agricultural crops, are susceptible to attack by plant pests including insect and nematode pests, causing significant reductions in crop yield and quality. [0004] Compositions for controlling insect infestations in plants have typically been in the form of chemical insecticides. However, there are several disadvantages to using chemical insecticides. For example, chemical insecticides are generally not selective. Additionally, applications of chemical insecticides intended to control insect pests in crop plants can exert their effects on non-target insects (including pollinators) and other invertebrates. Chemical insecticides often persist in the environment and may be slow to degrade, thus potentially accumulating in the food chain. Furthermore, the use of persistent chemical insecticides can result in the development of resistance in the target insect species. [0005] Biological pest control agents, such as Bacillus thuringiensis strains expressing pesticidal polypeptides, have been applied to crop plants with satisfactory results, thus offering an alternative or complement to chemical pesticides. The expression of Cry proteins in transgenic plants has provided efficient protection against certain insect pests, and transgenic plants expressing such proteins have been commercialized, allowing farmers to reduce or eliminate applications of chemical insect control agents. [0006] Although the usage of transgenic plants expressing Cry proteins has been shown to be extremely effective, insect pests have developed resistance against the Cry proteins expressed in certain transgenic plants. Therefore, there remains a need to identify new and effective pest control agents. Particularly, control agents that are targeted to a wider spectrum of economically important insect pests and that have a high specific activity against insect pests that are or could become resistant to existing insect control agents are needed. Thus, there has been a long-felt need for more environmentally friendly methods for controlling or eradicating insect infestation on or in plants, e. g., methods which are environmentally inert, non-persistent, biodegradable, and that fit well into pest resistance management schemes. BRIEF SUMMARY [0007] The terms “invention,” “the invention,” “this invention,” and “the present invention,” as used in this document, are intended to refer broadly to all of the subject matter of this patent application and the claims below. Statements containing these terms should be understood not to limit the subject matter described herein or to limit the meaning or scope of the patent claims below. Covered embodiments of the invention are defined by the claims, not this summary. This summary is a high-level overview of various aspects of the invention and introduces some of the concepts that are described and illustrated in the present document and the accompanying figures. This summary is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used in isolation to determine the scope of the claimed subject matter. The subject matter should be understood by reference to appropriate portions of the entire specification, any or all figures, and each claim. Some of the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are discussed below. [0008] Provided herein are compounds, compositions, and methods for the targeted inhibition and degradation of proteins in insects and insect cells. Compounds include bifunctional compounds that target an insect protein of interest to a cellular pathway. In some instances, the pathway leads to degradation or inhibition of the insect protein. The bifunctional compounds can be selected from proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs), molecular glues, phosphatase recruiting chimeras (PhoRCs), deubiquitinase-targeting chimeras (DUBTAC), ribonuclease targeting chimeras (RIBOTACs), autophagy-targeting chimeras (AUTACs), autophagosome- tethering compounds (ATTECs), lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs), and Chaperone- mediated Protein Degradation/Degrader (CHAMP) molecules. [0009] In some embodiments, the methods utilize Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs) to direct degradation or inhibition of a protein of interest in an insect. PROTACs are a class of bifunctional molecules that utilize the endogenous protein homeostasis machinery to degrade a protein of interest (POI). PROTACs of the invention induce proximity between an insect ligase and a POI by forming a ternary complex that results in the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the POI by the proteasome. Accordingly, the PROTAC bifunctional compounds comprise a binding ligand for a ubiquitin ligase and a second binding ligand for a protein of interest (POI), the target protein, to mediate ubiquitin transfer to, and degradation of, the protein of interest through the proteasome. The first binding ligand is also referred to as a ligase targeting moiety (LTM) while the second binding ligand is referred to as a protein targeting moiety (PTM). It is recognized that when using the term moiety, the moiety itself, a derivative of the moiety, or an analog of the moiety are intended and can be used in the practice of the disclosed methods. Furthermore, the compounds disclosed herein include enantiomers, diastereomers, stereoisomers or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof. [0010] The provided compounds, compositions, and methods are advantageous as smaller amounts of the PROTAC compositions are needed for administration to control insects. In some embodiments, the bifunctional compounds provided herein can include more than one ligase binding moiety, more than one insect protein targeting moiety, and more than one linker. [0011] The bifunctional compounds of the invention can be provided in compositions comprising suitable agricultural carriers for delivery directly to the insect pests, and to the locus of the insect pests, including plants, surfaces, and areas where they are ready for contact by insects. Compositions may further include insects, insect cells, plants, plant cells, plant parts and treated surfaces comprising the bifunctional compounds provided herein. [0012] In one aspect, the disclosure is to a compound or a salt or a solvate thereof. The compound includes one or more protein targeting moieties that each independently bind a protein that is expressed by an insect cell. The compound further includes one or more ligase targeting moieties that each independently bind a ubiquitin ligase that is functional in the insect cell. The compound further includes a linker covalently bonded to the one or more protein targeting moieties and the one or more ligase targeting moieties. [0013] In another aspect, the disclosure is to a composition including a compound as disclosed herein, or a salt or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, the composition further includes an agriculturally acceptable carrier. [0014] In another aspect, the disclosure is to a method of controlling a level of a target protein in an insect cell. The method includes contacting the insect cell with an effective amount of a compound as disclosed herein, or with an effective amount of a composition as disclosed herein. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0015] FIG.1 presents a table and an image of a gel showing that FKBP substrate is ubiquitinated in vitro through sfVHL mediated by dTAGV-1 PROTAC in presence of E1 & E2. Lanes 1-4 and 5-8 are replicates of dose dependent dTAGV-1 dependent ubiquitination of MBP- FKBP-HIbit by sfVHL in vitro. In vitro ubiquitination is sfVHL dependent. No ubiquitination of MBP-FKBP-Hibit is observed in the absence of sfVHL (Lanes 9-16). [0016] FIG.2 presents graphs showing the FKBP-GFP to RFP signal ratio when treated with dTAG-V1 (dose curve) and Bortezomib (1 or 10 µM). [0017] FIG.3 presents microscopy images showing the data plotted in the graphs of FIG.2. The images are of dTAG-V1 treated Sf9 cells expressing FKBP-GFP-P2A-RFP observed in Brightfield, green fluorescent protein and red fluorescent protein excitation wavelengths. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0018] Compounds, compositions, and methods for inhibiting and modulating protein levels in an insect are provided. In some embodiments, the bifunctional compounds are PROTACs, and methods comprise their use in targeting and modulating the levels of proteins of interest (POI) in an insect cell. The PROTAC compositions function to recruit endogenous proteins to an insect ubiquitin ligase enzyme for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation or inhibition. The compounds may be designed to target any protein of interest present in an insect cell. The compounds may be provided in agricultural compositions. [0019] Other classes of heterobifunctional molecules provided herein depend on non-UPS pathways to degrade a protein of interest (POI). These classes include autophagy-targeting chimeras (AUTACs), autophagosome-tethering compounds (ATTECs), lysosome-targeting chimeras (LYTACs), molecular glues, and antibody-based PROTACs (AbTACs). Collectively, AUTACs and ATTECs are also macroautophagy degradation-targeting chimeras (MADTACs). Like PROTACs, AUTECs and ATTECs focus on intracellular triggering of targeted protein degradation, while LYTACs and AbTACs trigger intercellular degradation via an extracellular process. AUTACs link a warhead for the POI to a guanine derivative that tags the protein for degradation by the autophagy machinery. ATTECs link a POI warhead to a ligand that binds to the autophagy protein LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3α) glue, thereby bypassing the ubiquitin pathways by directly tethering the POI to the autophagosome. LYTACs bind a membrane-bound POI and the extracellular domains of a lysosome-shuttling receptor, which then drags the POI into the lysosome for degradation. AbTACs are bispecific antibodies that recruit membrane bound E3 ligases to a membrane POI for degradation by the lysosome degradation pathway. Molecular glues are small molecules that act as adhesives by making two proteins bind each other. Molecular glues engage the E3 ligase allowing that complex to recruit its target. CHAMPs are bifunctional molecules similar to PROTACs. CHAMPs recruit the POI via a chaperone protein complex, leading to the ubiquitination of the POI and then the degradation of the POI via the proteasome system. Chaperones can interact with a diverse collection of E3 ligases. Importantly, the key chaperone HSP90 (enabling the use of CHAMPs for human therapeutics) is highly conserved in insects: e.g., 81% (bitscore of 1,131) between humans and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) with 14 out of 15 key amino acid residues perfectly identical in the binding site being used to bind to HSP90. [0020] Presently described are compositions and methods that relate to the surprising and unexpected discovery that levels of target proteins expressed in an insect cell may be controlled with compounds comprising one or more protein targeting moieties (PTM) that each independently bind a target protein, one or more ligase targeting moieties (LTM) that each independently bind a ubiquitin ligase that is functional in an insect cell and a linker covalently bonded to the one or more protein targeting moieties and the one or more ligase targeting moieties. An E3 ubiquitin ligase protein (e.g., Von Hippel-Lindau E3 ubiquitin ligase (VHL) or Cereblon (CRBN)) ubiquitinates a target protein once it and the target protein are placed in proximity by a bifunctional or chimeric construct that binds the E3 ubiquitin ligase protein and the target protein. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides such compounds and compositions comprising an E3 ubiquitin ligase binding moiety coupled to a protein target binding moiety, which result in the ubiquitination of a chosen target protein and leads to degradation of the target protein by the proteasome. [0021] In certain aspects, the present disclosure provides compounds that comprise a ligand, e.g., a small molecule ligand (i.e., having a molecular weight of below 2,000 Daltons, 1,000 Daltons, 500 Daltons, or 200 Daltons) that is capable of binding to a ubiquitin ligase, such as VHL or CRBN. The compounds also comprise a moiety that is capable of binding to target protein in such a way that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and/or inhibition) of that protein. A. DEFINITIONS [0022] The abbreviations used herein have their conventional meaning within the chemical and biological arts. Description of compounds of the present disclosure are limited by principles of chemical bonding known to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, where a group may be substituted by one or more of a number of substituents, such substitutions are selected so as to comply with principles of chemical bonding and to give compounds which are not inherently unstable and/or would be known to one of ordinary skill in the art as likely to be unstable under ambient conditions, such as aqueous, neutral, or physiological conditions. Where substituent groups are specified by their conventional chemical formulae, written from left to right, they equally encompass the chemically identical substituents that would result from writing the structure from right to left, e.g., -CH2O- is equivalent to -OCH2-.

2. Linkers^ [0078] A linker (L) is generally used to connect the PTM to the compound of Formula I. In some embodiments, L is a bond (i.e., absent). In some embodiments, L is a chemical linker. In some embodiments, the linker is a connector with a linear non-hydrogen atom number in the range of 1 to 20, e.g., in the range of 1 to 12, in the range of 3 to 14, in the range of 5 to 16, in the range of 7 to 18, or in the range of 9 to 20. The connector may contain functional groups including, but not limited to, ethers, amides, alkanes and alkyl groups, alkenes and alkenyl groups, alkynes and alkynyl groups, ketones, hydroxyls, carboxylic acids, thioethers, sulfoxides, and sulfones. The linker may contain aryl groups, heteroaryl groups, cyclic groups (including heterocyclic and carbocyclic monocycles, bicycles, tricycles). Substitution including, but not limited to, one or more of halo, such as Cl, F, Br, I, hydroxy, alkyl, amino, alkylamino, amido, acyl, nitro, cyano, and alkoxy may be included in the linker. Examples of suitable linker moieties include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in WO 2013/106643, WO 2015/160845, WO 2016/149668, WO 2016/197032, WO 2017/011371, WO 2017/011590, WO 2018/144649, and WO 2019/148055, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [0079] Judicious linker design facilitates binding to the target protein and the ubiquitin ligase, influencing degradation efficiency as well as having a significant influence on the overall molecular properties of the PROTAC. The linker structure contributes to achieving appropriate biological function by providing a beneficial combination of cellular uptake, ternary complex geometry, stability, and aqueous solubility. The choice of linker may be informed by, for example, the E3 ligase ligand, the target-binding ligand, and both the identity and attachment positions of the linker. Linkers as disclosed herein may be tested with ligase targeting moieties and protein targeting moieties in various combinations. [0080] In some embodiments, the linker has a structure -L2L3-. The L2 and L3 components of the linker structure may each independently be a bond, a divalent polymer moiety, or C1-30 alkylene, wherein one or more carbon atoms in each C1-30 alkylene is optionally and independently replaced by O, C(O), S, or NR7. One or more groupings of adjacent carbon atoms in each C1-30 alkylene may optionally and independently be replaced by –NR7(CO) or (CO)NR7. One or more groupings of adjacent carbon atoms in each C1-30 alkylene may be optionally and independently replaced by a 4- to 8-membered, divalent carbocycle or a 4- to 8-membered, divalent heterocycle having one to four heteroatoms selected from O, S, and N.

3. Insect proteins of interest and protein targeting moieties (PTMs)^ [0086] Generally, any protein in an insect may be targeted by the compounds, compositions, and methods provided herein. Where the goal is to control insect pests, the target protein is a protein that is essential to the growth, development, reproduction, and/or survival of the target insect pest. Target proteins include proteins required for the insect and/or arachnid to maintain its normal physiological and biochemical functions. Inhibition or degradation of the target protein limits the insect's and/or arachnid’s ability to feed, grow, or survive. Examples of insect and/or arachnid proteins that may targeted by the provided compounds, compositions, and methods include essential proteins, proteins involved in processes such as development, metabolism, or neurotransmission, and proteins that are targets of existing insecticides and/or arachnids.

SYNTHETIC METHODS [0108] Compounds of the present disclosure may be prepared in a variety of ways using commercially available starting materials, compounds known in the literature, or from readily prepared intermediates, by employing standard synthetic methods and procedures either known to those skilled in the art, or which will be apparent to the skilled artisan in light of the teachings herein. Standard synthetic methods and procedures for the preparation of organic molecules and functional group transformations and manipulations may be obtained from the relevant scientific literature or from standard textbooks in the field. Although not limited to any one or several sources, classic texts such as Smith, M. B., March, J., March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, 5.sup.th edition, John Wiley & Sons: New York, 2001; and Greene, T.W., Wuts. P.G.M., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd edition, John Wiley & Sons: New York, 1999, incorporated by reference herein, are useful and recognized reference textbooks of organic synthesis known to those in the art. The following descriptions of synthetic methods are designed to illustrate, but not to limit, general procedures for the preparation of compounds of the present disclosure. The processes generally provide the desired final compound at or near the end of the overall process, although it may be desirable in certain instances to further convert the compound to an agriculturally acceptable salt, ester or prodrug thereof. Suitable synthetic routes are depicted in the schemes herein. [0109] Those skilled in the art will recognize if a stereocenter exists in the compounds disclosed herein. Accordingly, the present disclosure includes both possible stereoisomers (unless specified in the synthesis) and includes not only racemic compounds but the individual enantiomers and/or diastereomers as well. When a compound is desired as a single enantiomer or diastereomer, it may be obtained by stereospecific synthesis or by resolution of the final product or any convenient intermediate. Resolution of the final product, an intermediate, or a starting material may be affected by any suitable method known in the art. See, for example, "Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds" by E. L. Eliel, S. H. Wilen, and L. N. Mander (Wiley- Interscience, 1994). [0110] The compounds of the present disclosure may be prepared in a number of ways well known to those skilled in the art of organic synthesis. By way of example, compounds of the present disclosure may be synthesized using the methods described below, together with synthetic methods known in the art of synthetic organic chemistry, or variations thereon as appreciated by those skilled in the art. Preferred methods include but are not limited to those methods described herein. [0111] Non-limiting examples of protecting groups (e.g., N-terminal protecting groups) which may be employed for synthesis of the compounds provided herein include Fmoc, Boc, allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Z), and photolabile protecting groups. Sidechain protecting groups include, but are not limited to, Fmoc; Boc; cyclohexyloxycarbonyl (Hoc); allyloxycarbonyl (Alloc); mesityl-2-sulfonyl (Mts); 4-(N-methylamino)butanoyl (Nmbu); 2,4- dimethylpent-3-yloxycarbonyl (Doc); 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohex-1-ylidene)-3-ethyl (Dde); 1-(4,4-dimethyl-2,6-dioxocyclohex-1-ylidene)-3-methylbutyl (ivDde); 4-methyltrityl (Mtt). Additional protecting groups and methods for their addition and removal from peptides are described, for example, by Isidro-Llobet et al. Chem. Rev.2009, 19: 2455-2504. [0112] A base may be used to activate or complete the activation of amino acids prior to exposing the amino acids to reaction partners. Any suitable base may be used. In certain embodiments, the base is a Lewis base. In some embodiments, the base is a non-nucleophilic bases, such as triisopropylethylamine, N,N-diisopropylethylamine, certain tertiary amines, or collidine, that are non-reactive to or react slowly with protected peptides to remove protecting groups. In general, the base has a sufficient pKa to allow for deprotonation of the amino acid carboxylic acid. [0113] A coupling agent may be used to form a bond with the carboxylate moiety of an amino acid to facilitate the coupling reaction and the formation of an amide bond. The coupling agent may be used to form activated amino acids before combination with a coupling partner (e.g., an amine) to produce the peptide product. Any suitable coupling agent may be used. In some embodiments, the coupling agent is a carbodiimide, a guanidinium salt, a phosphonium salt, or a uronium salt. Examples of carbodiimides include, but are not limited to, Ν,Ν'- dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC), and the like. Examples of phosphonium salts include, but are not limited to, (benzotriazol-l- yloxy)tripyrrolidino-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP); bromotris(dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BroP); and the like. Examples of guanidinium/uronium salts include, but are not limited to, O-(benzotriazol-l-yl)- Ν,Ν,Ν',Ν'- tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU); 2-(7-aza-lH-benzotriazole-l- yl)-l, l,3,3- tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU); l-[(l-(cyano-2-ethoxy-2- oxoethylideneaminooxy) dimethylaminomorpholino)] uronium hexafluorophosphate (COMU); and the like. Other coupling agents such as propanephosphonic acid anhydride (T3P) may also be used. [0114] While peptide bond formation may be conducted with a carboxylic acid (e.g., RC(O)OH), a base, and a coupling agent as described above, activated acid derivatives (e.g., RC(O)X, wherein X is a leaving group) may also be employed. Activated acid derivatives include, but are not limited to, anhydrides (including symmetric, mixed, or cyclic anhydrides), activated esters (e.g., p-nitrophenyl esters, pentafluorophenyl esters, N-succinimidyl esters, and the like), acylazoles (e.g., acylimidazoles, prepared using carbonyl diimidazole, and the like), acyl azides, and acid halides (e.g., acid chlorides). [0115] In some instances, it may be advantageous to prepare particular products, or peptidic portions of such products, via solid-phase peptide synthesis. Non-limiting examples of support materials for solid-phase peptide synthesis include polystyrene (e.g., microporous polystyrene resin, mesoporous polystyrene resin, macroporous polystyrene resin; including commercially available Wang resins, Rink amide resins, and trityl resins), glass, polysaccharides (e.g., cellulose, agarose), polyacrylamide resins, polyethylene glycol, or copolymer resins (e.g., comprising polyethylene glycol, polystyrene, etc.). The solid support may have any suitable form factor. For example, the solid support may be in the form of beads, particles, fibers, or in any other suitable form factor. D. APPLICATIONS IN INSECTS AND INSECT CELLS [0116] In another aspect, the disclosure provides methods for controlling a level of a target protein that is expressed in an insect cell. The target protein can be, for example, any of the insect proteins of interest described in Section B.3. The methods generally include contacting the insect cell with an effective amount of any of the bifunctional compounds, e.g., PROTAC compound, described herein. For example, the bifunctional compound can have one or more protein targeting moieties covalently bonded via a linker to one or more ligase targeting moieties, where the ligase targeting moieties can have the chemical structure of any of the formulas provided herein. In some embodiments, the ligase targeting moiety has a structure according to any one of the formulas described in Section B.1, the linker is any of those described in Section B.2, and/or the protein targeting moiety is any of those described in Section B.3. In some embodiments, the compound contacted with the insect cell includes one or more compounds having any of the structures set forth in Tables 1-3 of the Examples. [0117] The effective amount of the compound contacted with the insect cell in the provided methods for controlling a target protein level can be a pesticidally effective amount, referred to herein as an effective amount. An “effective amount” is an amount of a compound that causes the death of at least one pest (i.e., insect) or that noticeably reduces pest growth, feeding, or normal physiological development. This amount will vary depending on such factors as, for example, the specific target pests to be controlled, the specific environment, location, plant, crop, or agricultural site to be treated, the environmental conditions, and the method, rate, concentration, stability, and quantity of application of the compound. Decreases in pest numbers, pest growth, pest feeding or pest normal development resulting from contact with an effective amount of a provided compound can include any statistically significant decrease. For example, an effective amount of a provided compound can cause an insect growth, feeding, and/or development decrease of about 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 85%, 90%, 95% or greater. [0118] In general, contacting an insect cell with an effective amount of a provided compound controls a level of a target protein by inducing degradation of the target protein within the insect cell. For example, the amount of the compound contacted with the insect cell may induce degradation of the target protein, where the degradation has an effective degradation efficiency. An effective degradation efficiency may be one having a DC50 and/or Dmax satisfying a particular cutoff. Exemplary values of DC50 and Dmax indicating effective degradation efficiency can be any of those described in Section B of this disclosure.

Methods of rearing insect larvae and performing bioassays are well known to one of ordinary skill in the art. Measurable indicia of pesticidal activity include, but are not limited to, changes in mortality, weight loss, attraction, repellency, and other behavioral and physical changes after feeding and exposure for an appropriate length of time. See, for example US Patent No.7,619,064. E. COMPOSITIONS [0130] The bifunctional compounds disclosed herein may be formulated into compositions for use. Such compositions comprise one or more provided bifunctional compounds, and one or more agriculturally acceptable carriers, surfactants or application-promoting adjuvants customarily employed in the art of formulation. As used herein, the term "agriculturally- acceptable carrier" covers all adjuvants, inert components, dispersants, surfactants, tackifiers, binders, etc. that are ordinarily used in pesticide formulation technology; these are well known to those skilled in pesticide formulation. Suitable carriers and adjuvants may be solid or liquid and correspond to the substances ordinarily employed in formulation technology, e.g., natural or regenerated mineral substances, solvents, dispersants, wetting agents, tackifiers, binders or the like. The compositions may comprise more than one type of bifunctional compound, as well as additional agents, such as insecticides, fertilizers, herbicides, and plant supplements. Likewise, the formulations may be prepared into edible "baits" or fashioned into pest "traps" to permit feeding or ingestion by a target pest of the pesticidal formulation. [0131] The compositions may be applied to the environment of an insect pest by, for example, spraying, atomizing, dusting, scattering, coating or pouring, introducing into or on the soil, introducing into irrigation water, by seed treatment or general application or dusting at the time when the pest has begun to appear or before the appearance of pests as a protective measure. For example, the provided compositions may be mixed with grain to protect the grain during storage. It is generally important to obtain good control of pests in the early stages of plant growth, as this is the time when the plant may be most severely damaged. Provided embodiments include granular forms of the composition comprising an agrochemical such as, for example, an herbicide, an insecticide, a fertilizer, an inert carrier, and the like. [0132] Also provided are methods of applying an active ingredient or a composition where the active ingredient or composition contains at least one of the bifunctional compounds disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the methods include application to the insect pests, application to the plant or plant locus, e.g., leaf application, seed coating and soil application, or application to other surfaces in the environment in which the insect is present. The number of applications and the rate of application depend on the intensity of infestation by the corresponding pest. [0133] In some embodiments, the composition is formulated as a powder, dust, pellet, granule, spray, emulsion, colloid, solution or the like. In some embodiments, the composition is prepared by desiccation, lyophilization, homogenization, extraction, filtration, centrifugation, sedimentation, or concentration. In some embodiments, the bifunctional compounds is present in a concentration of from about 1% to about 99% by weight, e.g., from about 1 wt% to about 60 wt%, from about 10 wt% to about 70 wt%, from about 20 wt% to about 80 wt%, from about 30 wt% to about 90 wt%, or from about 40 wt% to about 100 wt%. [0134] In some embodiments, the composition is applied to any plant species for control of a pest. Plants of interest include grain plants that provide seeds of interest, oil-seed plants, leguminous plants, vegetables, ornamentals, trees, turfgrass, and the like. Seeds of interest include grain seeds, such as corn, wheat, barley, rice, sorghum, rye, millet, etc. Oil-seed plants include cotton, soybean, safflower, sunflower, Brassica, maize, alfalfa, palm, coconut, flax, castor, olive etc. Leguminous plants include beans and peas. Beans include guar, locust bean, fenugreek, soybean, garden beans, cowpea, mungbean, lima bean, fava bean, lentils, chickpea, etc. It is recognized that the provided compositions and compounds may be applied to the surface of the plant. Some of the bifunctional compounds may be taken up by the plant. In any event, the compounds are accessible to insect pest by feeding on the plants. [0135] Examples of plants of interest include, but are not limited to, corn (Zea mays), Brassica sp.

ACTIVITY EXAMPLE I: DTAG-V1 MEDIATED FKBP UBIQUITINATION BY SFVHL [0607] To assess the ability of sfVHL to act as a CUL2 adaptor protein en route to ubiquitination, sfVHL was expressed and purified recombinantly from E.coli as a complex with sfElonginB and C. The complex, sfVHL;sfElonginB/C, was combined with human CUL2/RBX1 (R&D systems E3-420-025, human E1 (UBE1, R&D Systems E-304-050), human E2 (UBcH5a, R&D Systems E2-616-100), ATP, MgCl2, ubiquitin, dTAGV-1 at a range of concentrations, and protein of interest MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6 which was recombinantly purified from E. coli. After incubation at room temperature, Western blot analysis was performed with an anti-His6 antibody (Invitrogen PA1-983B). In the presence of dTAGV-1 a multimeric band pattern above the signal for unmodified MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6 was observed indicating PROTAC mediated mono-and poly-ubiquitination of the protein. The intensity and number of resolved bands observed, each indicating a distinct ubiquitination pattern of MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6, was dependent on the dTAGV-1 concentration in the preparation. No signal for ubiquitinated MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6 was observed in the control experiment lacking dTAGV-1. Further, ubiquitination as indicated by the complex band pattern above the MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6 protein, was only observed when sfVHL:sfElonginB/C + CUL2/RBX1 was present confirming that the observed ubiquitination is PROTAC and sfVHL:sfElonginB/D + CUL2/RBX1 complex dependent. These results suggest that sfVHL successfully acts as an E3 adaptor protein that can be leveraged for PROTAC dependent ubiquitination. [0608] To assess the ability of sfVHL to act as a CUL2 adaptor protein en route to ubiquitination, sfVHL was expressed and purified recombinantly from E.coli as a complex with sfElonginB and C. The complex, sfVHL;sfElonginB/C, was combined with human CUL2/RBX1 (R&D systems E3-420-025, human E1 (UBE1, R&D Systems E-304-050), human E2 (UBcH5a, R&D Systems E2-616-100), ATP, MgCl2, ubiquitin, dTAGV-1 at a range of concentrations, and protein of interest MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6 which was recombinantly purified from E. coli. After incubation at room temperature, Western blot analysis was performed with an anti-His6 antibody (Invitrogen PA1-983B). Ubiquitination of MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6 was observed in the presence of dTAGV-1 in a dose dependent manner (FIG.1, Lanes 1-4 & 5-8), while absent in the control lacking dTAGV-1 (FIG.1, Lanes 9-16). Further, ubiquitination was only observed when sfVHL:sfElonginB/C + CUL2/RBX1 was present confirming that MBP-FKBP-Hibit-His6 ubiquitination is PROTAC and sfVHL:sfElonginB/D + CUL2/RBX1 complex dependent. These results suggest that sfVHL successfully acts as an E3 adaptor protein that can be leveraged for PROTAC dependent ubiquitination. ACTIVITY EXAMPLE II: SFVHL MEDIATED FKBP DEGRADATION WITH DTAG TOOL COMPOUNDS [0609] Sf9 cells were seeded into individual wells of 6-well sterile tissue culture plates (2 x 106 cells per well) with 2 mL fresh Sf900 III serum-free medium prior to the assay. The Sf9 cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing FKBP-GFP-P2A-RFP. Plasmid construct (in TE buffer) was aliquoted into a sterile Eppendorf microcentrifuge tube, with fresh sSf900 III medium added to each Plasmid. Cellfectin II reagent (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) was then added to the transfection mixture, and the tubes were inverted to mix and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. All media was removed from each well just prior to the addition of the transfection mixture. Complete transfection mixtures were added to cells dropwise using a P1000 pipette with sterile filter tips. Cells overlayed with transfection mixtures were incubated at 27 °C for 4 hours. Following 4 hours of incubation time, transfection mixtures were removed and replaced with 2 mL of fresh complete medium per well (Sf900 III). Cells were allowed to incubate at 27 °C for 96 hours to allow expression from the transfected plasmid. After construct expression, cells are harvested for further experiments. Cells were detached using a P1000 pipette with sterile filter tips. Cells were resuspended in fresh Sf900 III medium. Transfected Sf9 cells were seeded into individual wells of 96-well sterile tissue culture plates (1x 106 cells per well) with 0.1 mL fresh Sf900 III serum-free medium. Cells were then supplemented with a 10X stock of the indicated compounds (dTAGV1, dTAG-V1-NEG, Bortezomib). Protein levels were finally analyzed using Carl Zeiss microscopy and FIJI image analysis. [0610] When dTAG-V1 is added to Sf9 cells expressing FKBP-GFP-P2A-RFP, GFP fluorescence significantly decreased after 24 hours of incubation, optimally at ~100 nM concentration, while RFP signal remains unchanged. The addition of bortezomib, a well characterized proteasome inhibitor, prevents the dTAG-V1 dependent reduction of GFP signal. See FIGS.2-3. When negative control (dTAG-V1-NEG) is added, no decrease in green fluorescent protein is observed. See FIGS.2-3. These results indicate the Sf9 VHL is able to bind to dTAG-V1 PROTAC and induced UPS-dependent degradation of FKBP-GFP. ACTIVITY EXAMPLE III: SFVHL MEDIATED WDS AND BRD3 DEGRADATION WITH PROTACS [0611] A number of BRD3 and WDS targeting PROTACs, as described above, were tested for their ability to degrade target proteins in insect cells according to the following general experimental procedure. About 106 Sf9 cells were seeded into individual wells of 96-well sterile deep well plates with 0.45 mL fresh Sf900 III serum-free medium prior to the assay. The medium in each well was supplemented with a 10X stock of the indicated PROTAC compounds to achieve the final desired concentration for that well, and the plates were then incubated for 24 hours. Cells were harvested for protein analysis and lysed. Cell lysates were digested with trypsin/LysC at 37 °C overnight, followed by tryptic peptide extraction using an OASIS MCX plate, and then dried (vacuum) for storage. The extracted lysates were solubilized and injected on a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS) set to monitor fragment ion transitions corresponding to proteotypic peptides for each target protein. The resulting MS/MS spectra from each LC-MS/MS run were analyzed using Skyline data analysis software to investigate PROTAC compound-dependent changes to the target protein. [0612] DMax values indicating degradation efficiencies were determined for each of the tested compounds as summarized in Table 4.
