Background: Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1, p62) is a ubiquitin binding protein involved in cell signaling, oxidative stress, and autophagy. It was first identified as a protein that binds to the SH2 domain of p56Lck and independently found to interact with PKCζ . SQSTM1 was subsequently found to interact with ubiquitin, providing a scaffold for several signaling proteins and triggering degradation of proteins through the proteasome or lysosome. Interaction between SQSTM1 and TRAF6 leads to the K63-linked polyubiquitination of TRAF6 and subsequent activation of the NF-κB pathway. Protein aggregates formed by SQSTM1 can be degraded by the autophagosome. SQSTM1 binds autophagosomal membrane protein LC3/Atg8, bringing SQSTM1-containing protein aggregates to the autophagosome. Lysosomal degradation of autophagosomes leads to a decrease in SQSTM1 levels during autophagy; conversely, autophagy inhibitors stabilize SQSTM1 levels. Studies have demonstrated a link between SQSTM1 and oxidative stress. SQSTM1 interacts with KEAP1, which is a cytoplasmic inhibitor of NRF2, a key transcription factor involved in cellular responses to oxidative stress. Thus, accumulation of SQSTM1 can lead to an increase in NRF2 activity.Phosphorylation of SQSTM1 at Ser349 (Ser351 in mouse) during oxidative stress increases its binding to KEAP1, thereby increasing NRF2 activity .

Extra Notes: Western blot analysis of p62 expression in A549 (A), HL60 (B), U2OS (C) whole cell lysates., Immunofluorescent analysis of p62 staining in U87MG cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a hidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green) in PBS at room temperature in the dark.
