Oncogene-Stimulated Congestion at the KEAP1 Stress Signaling Hub Allows Bypass of NRF2 and Induction of NRF2-Target Genes that Promote Tumor Survival

In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ge et al. show that overexpression of the oncoprotein iASPP in cancer cells provokes NRF2-mediated induction of cytoprotective genes, because it logjams the ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor function of KEAP1 by virtue of the fact that it possesses a novel DLT-containing KEAP1-interaction motif.
