Abstract
Pharmacologic inhibition of the protein-protein interaction (PPI) interface of the Keap1:Nrf2 complex, which leads to Nrf2 activation and cytoprotective gene expression, offers a promising strategy for disease prevention and treatment. To facilitate identification and validation of small-molecule Keap1:Nrf2 PPI inhibitors in the cellular environment in a low- and medium-throughput manner, we detail two adapted cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) protocols, Keap1-CETSA, an immunoblotting-based methodology for detecting endogenous Keap1, and Keap1-Glow CETSA, a microtiter plate assay of overexpressed fluorescently-tagged Keap1. For an example of the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Dayalan Naidu et al. (2021).
