Keap1 is a highly redox-sensitive member of the BTB-Kelch family that assembles
with the Cul3 protein to form a Cullin-RING E3 ligase complex for the degradation
of Nrf2. Oxidative stress disables Keap1, allowing Nrf2 protein levels to
accumulate for the transactivation of critical stress response genes.
Consequently, the Keap1-Nrf2 system is extensively pursued for the development of
protein-protein interaction inhibitors that will stabilize Nrf2 for therapeutic
effect in conditions of neurodegeneration, inflammation, and cancer. Here we
review current progress toward the structure determination of Keap1 and its
protein complexes with Cul3, Nrf2 substrate, and small-molecule antagonists.
Together the available structures establish a rational three-dimensional model to
explain the two-site binding of Nrf2 as well as its efficient ubiquitination.
