KEAP1 retention in phase-separated p62 bodies drives liver damage in autophagy-deficient conditions
2025-02-21
Abstract excerpt
Phase-separated p62 bodies activate NRF2, a key transcription factor for antioxidant response, by sequestering KEAP1, which targets NRF2 for degradation. Although p62 bodies containing KEAP1 are degraded by autophagy, they accumulate in various liver disorders. Their precise disease role remains unclear. We show that excessive KEAP1 retention in p62 bodies and NRF2 activation are major causes of liver damage when...
