Chronic Inflammation and Susceptibility to Bacterial Infections in Mice Lacking the Polypeptide (p)105 Precursor (NF-κB1) but Expressing p50
The polypeptide (p)50 molecule, a subunit of nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, is produced after proteolytic processing of the p105 precursor (NF-kappaB1). Although the p105 precursor has been postulated to play a role in the regulation of the Rel/NF-kappaB activity, its physiological relevance remains unclear. To investigate that, we generated mutant mice lacking the COOH terminal half of the p105 p...
متن کاملKPC1-Mediated Ubiquitination and Proteasomal Processing of NF-κB1 p105 to p50 Restricts Tumor Growth
NF-κB is a key transcriptional regulator involved in inflammation and cell proliferation, survival, and transformation. Several key steps in its activation are mediated by the ubiquitin (Ub) system. One uncharacterized step is limited proteasomal processing of the NF-κB1 precursor p105 to the p50 active subunit. Here, we identify KPC1 as the Ub ligase (E3) that binds to the ankyrin repeats doma...
متن کاملLack of NF-κB1 (p105/p50) attenuates unloading-induced downregulation of PPARα and PPARα-regulated gene expression in rodent heart
Objective: Unloading of the rodent heart activates the fetal gene program, decreases peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and PPARα-regulated gene expression (MCAD), and induces cardiomyocyte atrophy. NF-κB regulates the fetal gene program and PPARαregulated gene expression during cardiac hypertrophy and induces atrophy in skeletal muscle. Our objective was to test the hypothesi...
متن کاملHuman Cytomegalovirus Upregulates NF-kB Activity by Transactivating the NF-kB p105/p50 and p65 Promoters
During human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection, a series of regulated events take place following virus binding and entry into the cell, including the upregulation of cellular transcription factors, such as NF-kB, which play an essential role in the viral life cycle. We show here that NF-kB message is induced during HCMV infection and that the induction is biphasic, suggesting an initial inducti...
متن کاملReversible Changes in the Susceptibility of Mice to Bacterial Infections
MICE WERE INJECTED INTRAPERITONEALLY WITH ONE OF THE FOLLOWING BACTERIAL PRODUCTS HAVING ENDOTOXIN ACTIVITY: pertussis vaccine, a suspension of heat-killed cells of Klebsiella pneumoniae (type C), or a purified lipopolysaccharide prepared from cultures of Salmonella typhosa. Following treatment with either one of these materials, the animals were infected intravenously with virulent cultures of...
