International audience. Nur77 is a stress sensor in pancreatic β‐cells, which negatively regulates glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion. We recently showed that a lipotoxic shock caused by exposure of β‐cells to the saturated fatty acid palmitate strongly increases Nur77 expression. Here, using dual luciferase reporter assays and Nur77 promoter deletion constructs, we identified a regulatory cassette between −1534 and −1512 bp upstream from the translational start site mediating Nur77 promoter activation in response to palmitate exposure. Chromatin immunoprecipitation, transient transfection and siRNA‐mediated knockdown assays revealed that palmitate induced Nur77 promoter activation involves Sp1 recruitment and ZBP89 release from the gene promoter.
