Abstract excerpt
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....
