Abstract

Nitric oxide (NO) possesses antiinflammatory effects, which may be exerted via its ability to inhibit the transcription factor, NF-κB. A commonly proposed mode of action for inhibition of NF-κBbyNO involves interference with NF-κB binding to DNA. Because activation of inhibitory κB kinase (IKK), the prerequisite enzyme complex necessary to induce NF-κB, is subject to redox regulation, we assessed whether IKK could present a more proximal target for NO to inhibit NF-κB activation. We demonstrate here that S -nitrosothiols (SNO) caused a dose-dependent inhibition of the enzymatic activity of IKK, in lung epithelial cells and in Jurkat T cells, which was associated with S-nitrosylation of the IKK complex. Using biotin derivatization of SNO, we revealed that IKKβ, the catalytic subunit required for NF-κB activation, was a direct target for S-nitrosylation. A mutant version of IKKβ containing a Cys-179-to-Ala mutation was refractory to inhibition by SNO or to increases in S-nitrosylation, in contrast to wild-type IKKβ, demonstrating that Cys-179 is the main target for attack by SNO. Importantly, inhibition of NO synthase activity in Jurkat T cells resulted in activation of IKK, in association with its denitrosylation. Moreover, NO synthase inhibition enhanced the ability of tumor necrosis factor α to activate IKK, illustrating the importance of endogenous NO in regulating the extent of NF-κB activation by cytokines. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that IKKβ is an important target for the redox regulation of NF-κB by endogenous or exogenous NO, providing an additional mechanism for its antiinflammatory properties.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
