X-ray crystal structures of the NF-kappa B.I kappa B alpha complex revealed an extensive and complex protein-protein interface involving independent structural elements present in both I kappa B alpha and NF-kappa B. In this study, we employ a gel electrophoretic mobility shift assay to assess and quantitate the relative contributions of the observed interactions toward overall complex binding affinity. I kappa B alpha preferentially binds to the p50/p65 heterodimer and p65 homodimer, with binding to p50 homodimer being significantly weaker. Our results indicate that the nuclear localization sequence and the region C-terminal to it of the NF-kappa B p65 subunit is a major contributor to NF-kappa B. I kappa B alpha complex formation. Additionally, there are no contacts between the corresponding nuclear localization signal tetrapeptide of p50 and I kappa B alpha. A second set of interactions involving the acidic C-terminal/PEST-like region of I kappa B alpha and the NF-kappa B p65 subunit N-terminal domain also contributes binding energy toward formation of the complex. This interaction is highly dynamic and nonspecific in nature, as shown by oxidative cysteine cross-linking. Phosphorylation of the C-terminal/PEST-like region by casein kinase II further enhances binding. 相似文献

Differential phosphorylation of the signal-responsive domain of I kappa B alpha and I kappa B beta by I kappa B kinases 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
NF-kappa B activity is regulated by its association with the inhibitory I kappa B proteins, among which I kappa B alpha and I kappa B beta are the most abundant. I kappa B proteins are widely expressed in different cells and tissues and bind to similar combinations of NF-kappa B proteins. The degradation of I kappa B proteins allows nuclear translocation of NF-kappa B and hence plays a critical role in NF-kappa B activation. Previous studies have demonstrated that, although both I kappa B proteins are phosphorylated by the same I kappa B kinase (IKK) complex, and their ubiquitination and degradation following phosphorylation are carried out by the same ubiquitination/degradation machinery, their kinetics of degradation are quite different. To better understand the underlying mechanism of the differences in degradation kinetics, we have carried out a systematic, comparative analysis of the ability of the IKK catalytic subunits to phosphorylate I kappa B alpha and I kappa B beta. We found that, whereas IKK alpha is a weak kinase for the N-terminal serines of both I kappa B isoforms, IKK beta is an efficient kinase for those residues in I kappa B alpha. However, IKK beta phosphorylates the N-terminal serines of I kappa B beta far less efficiently, thereby providing an explanation for the slower rate of degradation observed for I kappa B beta. Mutational analysis indicated that the regions around the two N-terminal serines collectively influence the relative phosphorylation efficiency, and no individual residue is critical. These findings provide the first systematic analysis of the ability of I kappa B alpha and I kappa B beta to serve as substrates for IKKs and help provide a possible explanation for the differential degradation kinetics of I kappa B alpha and I kappa B beta. 相似文献

The activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) in intact cells is mechanistically not well understood. Therefore we investigated the modifications imposed on NF-kappa B/I kappa B components following stimulation and show that the final step of NF-kappa B induction in vivo involves phosphorylation of several members of the NF-kappa B/I kappa B protein families. In HeLa cells as well as in B cells, TNF-alpha rapidly induced nuclear translocation primarily of p50-p65, but not of c-rel. Both NF-kappa B precursors and I kappa B alpha became strongly phosphorylated with the same kinetics. In addition to the inducible phosphorylation after stimulation, B lymphocytes containing constitutive nuclear NF-kappa B revealed constitutively phosphorylated p65 and I kappa B alpha. Phosphorylation was accompanied by induced processing of the precursors p100 and p105 and by degradation of I kappa B alpha. As an in vitro model we show that phosphorylation of p105 impedes its ability to interact with NF-kappa B, as has been shown before for I kappa B alpha. Surprisingly, even p65, but not c-rel, was phosphorylated after induction in vivo, suggesting that TNF-alpha selectively activates only specific NF-kappa B heteromers and that modifications regulate not only I kappa B molecules but also NF-kappa B molecules. In fact, cellular NF-kappa B activity was phosphorylation-dependent and the DNA binding activity of p65-containing NF-kappa B was enhanced by phosphorylation in vitro. Furthermore, we found that the induction by hydrogen peroxide of NF-kappa B translocation to the nucleus, which is assumed to be triggered by reactive oxygen intermediates, also coincided with incorporation of phosphate into the same subunits that were modified after stimulation by TNF-alpha. Thus, phosphorylation appears to be a general mechanism for activation of NF-kappa B in vivo. 相似文献

BCL3 is a candidate proto-oncogene involved in the recurring translocation t(14;19) found in some patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. BCL3 protein acts as an I kappa B in that it can specifically inhibit the DNA binding of NF-kappa B factors. Here, we demonstrate that BCL3 is predominantly a nuclear protein and provide evidence that its N terminus is necessary to direct the protein into the nucleus. In contrast to I kappa B alpha (MAD3), BCL3 does not cause NF-kappa B p50 to be retained in the cytoplasm; instead, in cotransfection assays, it alters the subnuclear localization of p50. The two proteins colocalize, suggesting that they interact in vivo. Further immunofluorescence experiments showed that a mutant p50, lacking a nuclear localization signal and restricted to the cytoplasm, is brought into the nucleus in the presence of BCL3. Correspondingly, a wild-type p50 directs into the nucleus a truncated BCL3, which, when transfected alone, is found in the cytoplasm. We tested whether BCL3 could overcome the cytoplasmic retention of p50 by I kappa B alpha. Results from triple cotransfection experiments with BCL3, I kappa B alpha, and p50 implied that BCL3 can successfully compete with I kappa B alpha and bring p50 into the nucleus; thus, localization of NF-kappa B factors may be affected by differential expression of I kappa B proteins. These novel properties of BCL3 protein further establish BCL3 as a distinctive member of the I kappa B family. 相似文献

Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) is a critical regulator of several genes which are involved in immune and inflammation responses. NF-kappa B, consisting of a 50-kDa protein (p50) and a 65-kDa protein (p65), is bound to a cytoplasmic retention protein called I kappa B. Stimulation of cells with a variety of inducers, including cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor and interleukin-1, leads to the activation and the translocation of p50/65 NF-kappa B into the nucleus. However, the in vivo mechanism of the activation process remains unknown. Here, we provide the first evidence that the in vivo mechanism of NF-kappa B activation is through the phosphorylation and subsequent loss of its inhibitor, I kappa B alpha. We also show that both I kappa B alpha loss and NF-kappa B activation are inhibited in the presence of antioxidants, demonstrating that the loss of I kappa B alpha is a prerequisite for NF-kappa B activation. Finally, we demonstrate that I kappa B alpha is rapidly resynthesized after loss, indicating that an autoregulatory mechanism is involved in the regulation of NF-kappa B function. We propose a mechanism for the activation of NF-kappa B through the modification and loss of I kappa B alpha, thereby establishing its role as a mediator of NF-kappa B activation. 相似文献

Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase/Akt signaling activates NF-kappa B through pleiotropic, cell type-specific mechanisms. This study investigated the significance of PI 3-kinase/Akt signaling to tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced NF-kappa B activation in transformed, immortalized, and primary cells. Pharmacological inhibition of PI 3-kinase blocked TNF-induced NF-kappa B DNA binding in the 293 line of embryonic kidney cells, partially affected binding in MCF-7 breast cancer cells, HeLa and ME-180 cervical carcinoma cells, and NIH 3T3 cells but was without significant effect in H1299 and human umbilical vein endothelial cells, cell types in which TNF activated Akt. NF-kappa B is retained in the cytoplasm by inhibitory proteins, I kappa Bs, which are phosphorylated and targeted for degradation by I kappa B kinases (IKK alpha and IKK beta). Expression and the ratios of IKK alpha and IKK beta, which homo- and heterodimerize, varied among cell types. Cells with a high proportion of IKK alpha (the IKK kinase activated by Akt) to IKK beta were most sensitive to PI 3-kinase inhibitors. Consequently, transient expression of IKK beta diminished the capacity of the inhibitors to block NF-kappa B DNA binding in 293 cells. Also, inhibitors of PI 3-kinase blocked NF-kappa B DNA binding in Ikk beta-/- but not Ikk alpha-/- or wild-type cells in which the ratio of IKK alpha to IKK beta is low. Thus, noncoordinate expression of I kappa B kinases plays a role in determining the cell type-specific role of Akt in NF-kappa B activation. 相似文献

2-acetylaminofluorene up-regulates rat mdr1b expression through generating reactive oxygen species that activate NF-kappa B pathway 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Overexpression of multidrug resistance genes and their encoded P-glycoproteins is a major mechanism for the development of multidrug resistance in cancer cells. The hepatocarcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) efficiently activates rat mdr1b expression. However, the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. In this study, we demonstrated that a NF-kappa B site on the mdr1b promoter was required for this induction. Overexpression of antisense p65 and I kappa B alpha partially abolished the induction. We then delineated the pathway through which 2-AAF activates NF-kappa B. 2-AAF treatment led to the increase of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) which causes activation of IKK kinases, degradation of I kappa B beta (but not I kappa B alpha), and increase in NF-kappa B DNA binding activity. Consistent with the idea that ROS may participate in mdr1b regulation, antioxidant N-acetylcysteine inhibited the induction of mdr1b by 2-AAF. Overproduction of a physiological antioxidant glutathione (GSH) blocked the activation of IKK kinase complex and NF-kappa B DNA binding. Based on these results, we conclude that 2-AAF up-regulates mdr1b through the generation of ROS, activation of IKK kinase, degradation of I kappa B beta, and subsequent activation of NF-kappa B. This is the first report that reveals the specific cis-elements and signaling pathway responsible for the induction of mdr1b by the chemical carcinogen 2-AAF. 相似文献
