Testis-restricted melanoma antigen (MAGE) proteins function as substrate adapters for E3 ubiquitin ligases. Biochemical and structural analyses of MAGE-A11 provide insight into the substrate binding mode of MAGE proteins and enable discovery of potent, cytotoxic inhibitors of MAGE-A11:substrate interaction.
