Abstract

Activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is controlled by sequential phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and degradation of its inhibitory subunit IκB. A large multiprotein complex, the IκB kinase (IKK) signalsome, was purified from HeLa cells and found to contain a cytokine-inducible IκB kinase activity that phosphorylates IκB-α and IκB-β. Two components of the IKK signalsome, IKK-1 and IKK-2, were identified as closely related protein serine kinases containing leucine zipper and helix-loop-helix protein interaction motifs. Mutant versions of IKK-2 had pronounced effects on RelA nuclear translocation and NF-κB–dependent reporter activity, consistent with a critical role for the IKK kinases in the NF-κB signaling pathway.

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.
