KEAP1 has a sweet spot: A new connection between intracellular glycosylation and redox stress signaling in cancer cells.
Abstract
The KEAP1/NRF2 pathway is a master regulator of the redox stress response and is dysregulated
in numerous human tumors. We discovered that NRF2 signaling is controlled by the site-specific
glycosylation of KEAP1, revealing a potentially broad link among nutrient sensing,
proteostasis and stress resistance in both normal and cancer cells.

We are using functional genomic approaches to investigate the nutrient signaling and
stress adaptations of cancer cells when exposed to various nutrient deprivations and
microenvironmental stress conditions. Recently, we focus on two areas. First, we are
elucidating the genetic determinants and disease relevance of ferroptosis, a newly
recognized form of cell death. Second, we have identified the mammalian stringent
response pathway which is highly similar to bacterial stringent response, but
