Targeted therapies have revolutionized cancer care. Unfortunately, most patients develop refractory, multifocal resistance to these therapies within a matter of months. Here, we demonstrate that the evolution of resistance to EGFR inhibitors in EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer endows cells with hypersensitivity to a PAINS-like small molecule, MCB-613. Systematic proteomic, functional genomic, and biochemical studies revealed that MCB-613 binds KEAP1 in a covalent, cysteine-independent fashion, acting as a divalent molecular bridge that relies upon lysine residues in the KEAP1 dimerization domain to join monomers of KEAP1 together. Oligomerization of KEAP1 by MCB-613 sets into motion a fatal cascade of KEAP1 …
