Abstract

Methods and compositions for inhibiting Nrf1 activity are provided for enhancing apoptosis in mammalian cells. Apoptosis is enhanced in mammalian cells by co-inhibiting Nrf1 activity and proteasome activity. Methods for identifying Nrf1 inhibitors are provided using an assay for screening Nrf1 inhibitors that enhance proteasome inhibition by preventing induced proteasome expression.
