Mechanisms and functions of Nrf2 signaling in Drosophila [PDF]
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2015 The Nrf2 transcription factor belongs to the Cap'n'collar family, named after the founding member of this group, the product of the Drosophila Cap'n'collar gene. The encoded protein, Cap'n'collar, abbreviated Cnc, offers a convenient and accessible model to study the structure, function, and biology of Nrf2 transcription factors at the organismic ...

Epigenetic regulation of Keap1-Nrf2 signaling [PDF]
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2015 The kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling axis serves as a "master regulator" in response to oxidative/electrophilic stresses and chemical insults through the coordinated induction of a wide array of cytoprotective genes.

Structure of the Keap1:Nrf2 interface provides mechanistic insight into Nrf2 signaling [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2006 Keap1 is a BTB-Kelch substrate adaptor protein that regulates steady-state levels of Nrf2, a bZIP transcription factor, in response to oxidative stress. We have determined the structure of the Kelch domain of Keap1 bound to a 16-mer peptide from Nrf2 containing a highly conserved DxETGE motif.

Grub polypeptide extracts protect against oxidative stress through the NRF2-ARE signaling pathway
Animal Cells and Systems, 2021 Grub polypeptide extracts (GPEs) have antioxidant effects; however, their underlying molecular mechanisms are unknown. This study explored the antioxidant molecular mechanism of GPE via the nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2)-antioxidant ...

Oxidative Stress and Vitiligo: The Nrf2–ARE Signaling Connection [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2014 Hypersensitivity of epidermal melanocytes to oxidative stress is known to contribute to vitiligo pathogenesis. Molecular mechanisms that connect melanocyte redox homeostasis to the complex disease phenotype are not fully understood. Jian et al. show that vitiligo melanocytes have impaired nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-antioxidant ...

Oxidative stress response and Nrf2 signaling in aging [PDF]
Free Radical Biology and Medicine, 2015 Increasing oxidative stress, a major characteristic of aging, has been implicated in a variety of age-related pathologies. In aging, oxidant production from several sources is increased, whereas antioxidant enzymes, the primary lines of defense, are decreased.

Exploring the role of Nrf2 signaling in glioblastoma multiforme
Discover Oncology, 2022 AbstractGlioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive glial cell tumors in adults. Although current treatment options for GBM offer some therapeutic benefit, median survival remains poor and does not generally exceed 14 months. Several genes, such as isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) enzyme and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT ...
