The signaling module that specifies nuclear factor-κΒ (NF-κB) activation is a three-component system: NF-κB, inhibitor of NF-κΒ (IκΒ), and IκΒ kinase complex (IKK). IKK receives upstream signals from the surface or inside the cell and converts itself into a catalytically active form, leading to the destruction of IκB in the inhibited IκB:NF-κB complex, leaving active NF-κB free to regulate target genes. Hidden within this simple module are family members that all can undergo various modification ...[more]
