Interaction Energetics and Druggability of the Protein-Protein Interaction between Kelch-like ECH-Associated Protein 1 (KEAP1) and Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2 Like 2 (Nrf2). [PDF]
Development of small molecule inhibitors of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) is hampered by our poor understanding of the druggability of PPI target sites. Here, we describe the combined application of alanine-scanning mutagenesis, fragment screening, and FTMap computational hot spot mapping to evaluate the energetics and druggability of the highly ...

Marburg Virus VP24 Protein Relieves Suppression of the NF-κB Pathway Through Interaction With Kelch-like ECH-Associated Protein 1. [PDF]
Marburg virus (MARV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen that causes hemorrhagic fever. MARV VP24 (mVP24) protein interacts with the host cell protein Kelch-like-ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1). Keap1 interacts with and promotes the degradation of IκB kinase β (IKKβ), a component of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex that regulates nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB ...

Psoralen and Isopsoralen Activate Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-Related Factor 2 Through Interaction With Kelch-Like ECH-Associated Protein 1. [PDF]
ABSTRACTAs natural furocoumarins, psoralen and its isomer isopsoralen are widely distributed in various fruits including Ficus carica L., vegetables including celery, and medicinal herbs including Psoralea corylifolia L. Although psoralen and isopsoralen have been used as dietary supplements because of their bioactivities such as antibacterial and anti‐

Chronic Activation of Hepatic Nrf2 Has No Major Effect on Fatty Acid and Glucose Metabolism in Adult Mice [PDF]
The transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) induces cytoprotective genes, but has also been linked to the regulation of hepatic energy metabolism. In order to assess the pharmacological potential of hepatic Nrf2 activation in metabolic disease,

In this study, we measured the levels of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1), which has the potential antioxidant capacity, among non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients compared with healthy controls. We also investigated the possible association between KEAP1 levels and the GRACE score, which is a universal risk score ...

Kelch-like ECH-associated Protein 1/Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related Factor 2 Pathway and Its Interplay with Oncogenes in Lung Tumorigenesis. [PDF]
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2), a transcription factor regulating cellular redox homeostasis, exhibits a complex role in cancer biology. Genetic mutations in the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1)/NRF2 system, which lead to NRF2 hyperactivation, are found in 20% to 30% of lung cancer cases.

Structure-Based Identification of Kelch-like ECH-Associated Protein 1 as a Pharmacological Target of Electrophile-Containing Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Inhibitors. [PDF]
Entacapone and nitecapone are electrophile-containing catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors that are used to treat Parkinson's disease in combination with L-DOPA. It is desirable to investigate whether they can covalently bind to cellular protein targets using their reactive electrophilic warheads.
