WD40 repeat (WDR) domain-containing proteins are involved in numerous protein complexes that have been linked to disease. Schapira and colleagues describe recent advances in targeting WDR domains with small molecules to potently inhibit protein–protein interactions, and discuss the potential for the diversity and druggability of WDR domains to open up new pathways for therapeutic intervention.
