USP15 decreases the amount of NFE2L2. 7 / 7
| 7

reach
"USP15 inhibits Nrf2 protein levels and expression of its target genes."

reach
"Taken together these results demonstrate the mechanism by which USP15 leads to decreased Nrf2 protein levels : USP15 is able to stabilize the Cul3-Keap1-E3 ligase complex through deubiquitination of Keap1, resulting in increased E3 ligase activity and ubiquitination of Nrf2, which ultimately leads to degradation of the Nrf2 protein."

reach
"These results indicate that USP15 may inhibit Nrf2 protein expression and thus, its activity, by increasing Nrf2 protein degradation."

reach
"We found that USP15 is unable to inhibit Nrf2 protein levels in the absence of Keap1 (XREF_FIG, lanes 3-4)."

reach
"Further investigation showed that inhibition of USP15 enhanced the activation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and expression of Nrf2 target genes in HG-simulated podocytes."

reach
"In addition, USP15 is unable to inhibit Nrf2 protein levels when the seven lysine residues in the Neh2 domain required for ubiquitination by the Keap1-Cul3-E3 ligase complex are mutated (Nrf2-K7) (XREF_FIG, lanes 3-4), or when the Neh2 domain is deleted (XREF_FIG, lanes 5-6)."

reach
"Conversely, when the Neh6 domain of Nrf2 is deleted, USP15 is still able to inhibit Nrf2 protein expression (XREF_FIG, lanes 7-8)."
