While CBP/p300 is a well-validated direct interaction partner of NRF2 with prominent functions at enhancers, we report that this interaction is not required for NRF2-dependent NSCLC cell growth, indicating that NRF2 can sustain sufficient transcriptional activity in the absence of CBP/p300 coactivation. Here, NFE2L2 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
