The Keap1 BTB/POZ Dimerization Function Is Required to Sequester Nrf2 in Cytoplasm
Open accessAbstract
Transactivation of phase II detoxification enzymes and antioxidant proteins is mediated by the Cap'N'Collar transcription factor, Nrf2, which is sequestered in the cytoplasm by the actin-binding protein Keap1. Mutation of a conserved serine (S104A) within the Keap1 BTB/POZ domain disrupts Keap1 dimerization and eliminates the ability of Keap1 to sequester Nrf2 in the cytoplasm and repress Nrf2 transactivation. Disruption of endogenous Keap1 dimerization using BTB/POZ dominant negative proteins also inhibits the ability of Keap1 to retain Nrf2 in the cytoplasm. Exposure to an electrophilic agent that induces Nrf2 release and nuclear translocation disrupts formation of a Keap1 complex in vivo. Collectively, these data support the conclusion that Keap1 dimerization is required for Nrf2 sequestration and transcriptional repression. Furthermore, exposure to inducing agents disrupts the Keap1 dimerization function and results in Nrf2 release.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
