PALB2/FANCN is mutated in breast and pancreatic cancers and Fanconi anemia (FA). It controls the intranuclear localization, stability, and DNA repair function of BRCA2 and links BRCA1 and BRCA2 in DNA homologous recombination repair and breast cancer suppression. Here, we show that PALB2 directly interacts with KEAP1, an oxidative stress sensor that binds and represses the master antioxidant transcription factor NRF2. PALB2 shares with NRF2 a highly conserved ETGE-type KEAP1 binding motif and can effectively compete with NRF2 for KEAP1 binding. PALB2 promotes NRF2 accumulation and function in the nucleus and lowers the cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level. In addition, PALB2 also regulates the rate of NRF2 export from the nucleus following induction. Our findings identify PALB2 as a regulator of cellular redox homeostasis and provide a new link between oxidative stress and the development of cancer and FA.
PALB2/FANCN 在乳腺癌和胰腺癌以及范可尼贫血(FA)中发生突变。它控制 BRCA2 的核内定位、稳定性和 DNA 修复功能,并将 BRCA1 和 BRCA2 联系起来,参与 DNA 同源重组修复和乳腺癌抑制。在这里,我们表明 PALB2 直接与 KEAP1 相互作用,KEAP1 是一种氧化应激传感器,可结合并抑制主抗氧化转录因子 NRF2。PALB2 与 NRF2 具有高度保守的 ETGE 型 KEAP1 结合基序,并且可以有效地与 NRF2 竞争 KEAP1 结合。PALB2 促进 NRF2 在核内积累和发挥功能,并降低细胞内的活性氧(ROS)水平。此外,PALB2 还调节诱导后 NRF2 从核内的输出速度。我们的发现确定 PALB2 为细胞内氧化还原稳态的调节剂,并提供了氧化应激与癌症和 FA 发展之间的新联系。
