Abstract

The murine homologue of the human NFE2L1 basic leucine-zipper gene was isolated from an early embryo library. The deduced amino acid sequence shows 97% identity between the two proteins. Significant sequence similarity is also seen with the p45 subunit of NF-E2 and with the Drosophila CNC protein. Murine Nfe2l1 maps to chromosome 11DE with similar sequences at 7D1–7F1 and 2E4–2G.

    2021, Redox Biology
    Citation Excerpt :

    Based on the newest version of Ensembl Genome Browser (http://asia. ensembl.org/index.html), the mouse Nfe2l1 gene maps to the distal end of chromosome 11 [24], spans 12,554 bp DNA, and is divided into 10 exons (Fig. 1) [24]. According to the database, alternative splicing and selective use of translation initiation codons give rise to 12 transcripts (splice variants), resulting in at least two long protein isoforms (L-NFE2L1) containing 741 and 742 amino acids (aa), as well as two short protein isoforms (S-NFE2L1) containing 453 and 583 aa [25,26].

  • Mechanisms controlling the multistage post-translational processing of endogenous Nrf1α/TCF11 proteins to yield distinct isoforms within the coupled positive and negative feedback circuits

    The tricky variations in their abundances could be dependent on different cell types, in which various amounts of Nrf1α and/or TCF11 were differentially expressed and partially processed, leading to distinct profiling of multiple proteaforms, though they had been under similar basal or proteasomal inhibitors-stimulated conditions. Of note, it was found that there exists TCF11 in the normal human and rat, but not mouse, cell lines (Luna et al., 1995; McKie et al., 1995; Novotny et al., 1998; Prieschl et al., 1998), with it being scarcely expressed in cancer cell lines (which was confirmed by sequencing data not shown). In the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells (Fig. S3A), as the doses of MG132, Epox and BTZ increased, abundances of protein-A and/or -C forms of Nrf1 were gradually diminished to their disappearances, then they were replaced by gradually increasing protein-B, along with concomitantly decreasing protein-D isoforms.

  • NRF1 Is an ER Membrane Sensor that Is Central to Cholesterol Homeostasis

    2017, Cell
    Citation Excerpt :

    As cholesterol is fundamental to virtually all aspects of mammalian biology (Tabas, 2002), it is an appealing teleonomic notion that Nrf1 and SREBP2 co-evolved as a yin-yang counterbalance to stabilize ER-resident metabolic activity (Figure 4E); while both are ER membrane spanning proteins, SREBP2 promotes cholesterol production, whereas Nrf1 promotes cholesterol removal. Finally, as full-length murine Nrf1 is a ubiquitously expressed 741 amino acid protein that is 97% identical to the human ortholog (McKie et al., 1995), a corollary of our discovery is that it may have broad physiological and therapeutic implications. Indeed, pharmacological manipulation of Nrf1 might lead to a new, powerful unifying therapeutic avenue for mitigating the toxic effects of excess cholesterol to treat a multitude of human diseases.

    See Fig. 1). The human Nrf1 gene maps to chromosome 17q21.3, whereas the mouse gene is located on the distal end of chromosome 11 (Chan et al., 1995; McKie et al., 1995). Alternative splicing and alternative use of translation initiation codons in the same mRNA molecule produce different sized polypeptides in mouse and human cells.

  • Changing gears in Nrf1 research, from mechanisms of regulation to its role in disease and prevention

    2015, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - Gene Regulatory Mechanisms
    Citation Excerpt :

    Both TCF 11 and Nrf1 p120 transactivate genes to similar extents [52,57]. The mouse full-length p120 that is 741 amino acids long, shares 95% sequence identity with human p120, that is 742 amino acids long [52,58]. Full-length Nrf1 contains all of the common regions found in other CNC proteins (ER binding domain, transactivation domain (TAD) and DNA-binding domain (DBD)).

  • Transcription factor Nrf1 is negatively regulated by its O-GlcNAcylation status

    2015, FEBS Letters
    Citation Excerpt :

    Almost equal amounts of hNrf1 and TCF11 are expressed in normal human cell lines, whereas human cancer cell lines predominantly express hNrf1 rather than TCF11 (data unpublished in our group). However, these two isoforms have similar transactivation activity mediated primarily by AD1 [47], though the TAD region of Nrf1 lacks the Neh4 subdomain that is present in TCF11 (which is absent in the mouse [48,49]). Herein, we investigated whether the abundance of endogenous TCF 11/hNrf1 is influenced by the O-GlcNAc status.
