Integrative analysis suggests cell type-specific decoding of NF-κB dynamics.

ABSTRACT: The complex signaling dynamics of transcription factors can encode both qualitative and quantitative information about the extracellular environment, which increases the information transfer capacity and potentially supports accurate cellular decision-making. An important question is how these signaling dynamics patterns are translated into functionally appropriate gene regulation programs. To address this question for transcription factors of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) family, we profiled the single-cell dynamics of two major NF-κB subunits, RelA and c-Rel, induced by a panel of pathogen-derived stimuli in immune and nonimmune cellular contexts. Diverse NF-κB-activating ligands produced different patterns of RelA and c-Rel signaling dynamic features, such as variations in duration or t
