Crucial Role of the Amino-Terminal Tyrosine Residue 42 and the Carboxyl-Terminal PEST Domain of IκBα in NF-κB Activation by an Oxidative Stress
Open accessAbstract
Activation of transcription factor NF-κB involves the signal-dependent degradation of basally phosphorylated inhibitors such as IκBα. In response to proinflammatory cytokines or mitogens, the transduction machinery has recently been characterized, but the activation mechanism upon oxidative stress remains unknown. In the present work, we provide several lines of evidence that NF-κB activation in a T lymphocytic cell line (EL4) by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) did not involve phosphorylation of the serine residues 32 and 36 in the amino-terminal part of IκBα. Indeed, mutation of Ser32 and Ser36 blocked IL-1β- or PMA-induced NF-κB activation, but had no effect on its activation by H2O2. Although IκBα was phosphorylated upon exposure to H2O2, tyrosine residue 42 and the C-terminal PEST (proline-glutamic acid-serine-threonine) domain played an important role. Indeed, mutation of tyrosine 42 or serine/threonine residues of the PEST domain abolished NF-κB activation by H2O2, while it had no effect on activation by IL-1β or PMA-ionomycin. This H2O2-inducible phosphorylation was not dependent on IκB kinase activation, but could involve casein kinase II, because an inhibitor of this enzyme (5,6-dichloro-1-β-d-ribofuranosyl-benzimidazole) blocks NF-κB activation. H2O2-induced IκBα phosphorylation was followed by its degradation by calpain proteases or through the proteasome. Taken together, our findings suggest that NF-κB activation by H2O2 involves a new mechanism that is totally distinct from those triggered by proinflammatory cytokines or mitogens.

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.
