PTPN2 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 2) and PTPN1 are attractive immuno-oncology targets, however, targeting PTPN2/N1 poses significant challenges. Here, the authors report the development of potent PTPN2/N1 heterobifunctional degraders and reveal biochemical and structural insights into the formation of ternary structures with cereblon E3 ligase by X-ray diffraction, cryo-EM and MD simulations.
