Nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) essential modulator (NEMO), a regulatory component of the IκB kinase (IKK) complex, controls NF-κB activation through its interaction with ubiquitin chains. We show here that stimulation with interleukin-1 (IL-1) and TNF induces a rapid and transient recruitment of NEMO into punctate structures that are anchored at the cell periphery. These structures are enriched in activated IKK kinases and ubiquitinated NEMO molecules, which suggests that they serve as organizing centers for the activation of NF-κB. These NEMO-containing structures colocalize with activated TNF receptors but not with activated IL-1 receptors. We investigated the involvement of nondegradative ubiquitination in the formation of these structures, using cells deficient in K63 ubiquitin chains or linear ubiquitin chain assembly complex (LUBAC)-mediated linear ubiquitination. Our results indicate that, unlike TNF, IL-1 requires K63-linked and linear ubiquitin chains to recruit NEMO into higher-order complexes. Thus, different mechanisms are involved in the recruitment of NEMO into supramolecular complexes, which appear to be essential for NF-κB activation.

The IκB kinase (IKK) complex is composed of three subunits, IKKα, IKKβ, and IKKγ (NEMO). While IKKα and IKKβ are highly similar catalytic subunits, both capable of IκB phosphorylation in vitro, IKKγ is a regulatory subunit. Previous biochemical and genetic analyses have indicated that despite their similar structures and in vitro kinase activities, IKKα and IKKβ have distinct functions. Surprisingly, disruption of the Ikkα locus did not abolish activation of IKK by proinflammatory stimuli and resulted in only a small decrease in nuclear factor (NF)-κB activation. Now we describe the pathophysiological consequence of disruption of the Ikkβ locus. IKKβ-deficient mice die at mid-gestation from uncontrolled liver apoptosis, a phenotype that is remarkably similar to that of mice deficient in both the RelA (p65) and NF-κB1 (p50/p105) subunits of NF-κB. Accordingly, IKKβ-deficient cells are defective in activation of IKK and NF-κB in response to either tumor necrosis factor α or interleukin 1. Thus IKKβ, but not IKKα, plays the major role in IKK activation and induction of NF-κB activity. In the absence of IKKβ, IKKα is unresponsive to IKK activators.

Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) has a central role in coordinating the expression of a wide variety of genes that control cerebral ischemia. Although there has been intense research on NF-κB, its mechanisms in the ischemic brain have not been clearly elucidated. We investigated the temporal profile of NF-κB-related genes using a complementary DNA array method in wild-type mice and human copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase transgenic (SOD1 Tg) mice that had low-level reactive oxygen species (ROS) by scavenging superoxide. Our DNA array showed that IκB kinase (IKK) complex (IKKα, β, and γ) mRNA in the wild-type mice was decreased as early as 1 h after reperfusion, after 30 mins of transient focal cerebral ischemia (tFCI). In contrast, tFCI in the SOD1 Tg mice caused an increase in the IKK complex. The IKK complex protein levels were also drastically decreased at 1 h in the wild-type mice, but did not change in the SOD1 Tg mice throughout the 7 days. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay revealed activation of NF-κB DNA binding after tFCI in the wild-type mice. Nuclear factor-κB activation occurred at the same time, as did the phosphorylation and degradation of the inhibitory protein κBα. However, SOD1 prevented NF-κB activation, and phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα after tFCI. Superoxide production and ubiquitinated protein in the SOD1 Tg mice were also lower than in the wild-type mice after tFCI. These results suggest that ROS are implicated in transient downregulation of IKKα, β, and γ in cerebral ischemia.

Main Regulator

The nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcription factors exert central hub functions in multiple physiologicalprocesses including immune response, cell survival, proliferation and cytokine production, which hasnaturally become the core of research almost in all aspects of biomedical science over 30 years. Sinceboth the activation and termination of NF-κB pathway are tightly regulated, little alteration can lead toexcessive inflammatory responses and even result in tissue damage and severe diseases. The inhibitor ofnuclear factor kappa-B (IκB) kinase (IKK) complex is the main regulator of the NF-κB signaling pathway,they mediate and deliver signals through phosphorylating certain substrates. In recent years, increasedproteins have been identified to be targeted by IKK members and the particular modification mechanismbecomes clear with the development of detecting techniques and structural biology. In this review, wesummarize the known substrates of IKK family members either relevant or irrelevant to NF-κB signaling,their structures and phosphorylation patterns, and the related physiologic and/or pathologic responses.Understanding the regulation of IKKs on their substrates may be helpful to connect IKKs with specificsignaling pathways or physiological phenomena, and is essential for targeting IKKs in clinical research.

The interleukin-1 (IL-1)-receptor-associated kinase (IRAK-1) is essential for IL-1-stimulated nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activation. To study the role of IRAK-1 in IL-1β signalling, we have generated a set of IRAK-1 variants that express distinct domains of IRAK-1 either alone or in combination and have examined their effects on an NF-κB-responsive reporter in HeLa cells. Unlike full-length IRAK-1, the deletion mutants were unable to activate NF-κB in the absence of cytokine stimulation. However, an IRAK-1 variant lacking only the N-terminal domain retained the ability of the full-length protein to potentiate both IL-1β and tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα)-induced NF-κB activation. In contrast, expression of the N-terminus or the C-terminus of IRAK-1, or a fusion protein incorporating both domains, inhibited both IL-1β- and TNFα-induced effects. Expression of an IRAK-1 variant lacking only the C-terminal domain preferentially inhibited IL-1β versus TNFα-induced NF-κB activation. These data suggest that the C-terminal domain may link IRAK-1 to downstream signalling components common to both the IL-1 and TNF pathways. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that endogenous IRAK-1 becomes phosphorylated upon IL-1β treatment and can be detected along with NF-κB essential modulator (NEMO) and IκB kinase β (IKKβ) in high-molecular-mass complexes of 600–800kDa. Moreover, IRAK-1 could be detected in NEMO immunoprecipitates from IL-1β-stimulated cells. We conclude that IRAK-1 mediates IL-1β signal transduction through a ligand-dependent association of IRAK-1 with the IKK complex.

Induced Apoptosis

c-FLIP proteins (isoforms: c-FLIPL, c-FLIPS, and c-FLIPR) play an essential role in the regulation of death receptor–induced apoptosis. Here, we demonstrate that the cytoplasmic NH2-terminal procaspase-8 cleavage product of c-FLIP (p22-FLIP) found in nonapoptotic malignant cells, primary T and B cells, and mature dendritic cells (DCs) strongly induces nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) activity by interacting with the IκB kinase (IKK) complex via the IKKγ subunit. Thus, in addition to inhibiting apoptosis by binding to the death-inducing signaling complex, our data demonstrate a novel mechanism by which c-FLIP controls NF-κB activation and life/death decisions in lymphocytes and DCs.

Annexin-A1 (ANXA1) has recently been proposed to play a role in microglial activation after brain ischemia, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that ANXA1 is modified by SUMOylation, and SUMOylated ANXA1 could promote the beneficial phenotype polarization of microglia. Mechanistically, SUMOylated ANXA1 suppressed nuclear factor κB activation and the production of proinflammatory mediators. Further study revealed that SUMOylated ANXA1 targeted the IκB kinase (IKK) complex and selectively enhanced IKKα degradation. Simultaneously, we detected that SUMOylated ANXA1 facilitated the interaction between IKKα and NBR1 to promote IKKα degradation through selective autophagy. Further work revealed that the overexpression of SUMOylated ANXA1 in microglia/macrophages resulted in marked improvement in neurological function in a mouse model of cerebral ischemia. Collectively, our study demonstrates a previously unidentified mechanism whereby SUMOylated ANXA1 regulates microglial polarization and strongly indicates that up-regulation of ANXA1 SUMOylation in microglia may provide therapeutic benefits for cerebral ischemia.

Interleukin-1 (IL-1)-receptor-associated kinase (IRAK) is an indispensable signalling molecule for host-defence responses initiated by a variety of ligands that bind to members of the Toll/IL-1 receptor family. Here we report a novel splice variant of mouse IRAK-1, IRAK-1-S, which is generated by utilizing a new splicing acceptor site within exon 12. IRAK-1-S cDNA is shorter than the originally reported IRAK-1 (IRAK-1-W) cDNA by 271 nucleotides, and the subsequent frameshift causes a premature termination of translation after 23 amino acids, which are unique to the IRAK-1-S protein. To elucidate the physiological function of IRAK-1-S, we overexpressed it in 293T cells and studied the effects on the IL-1 signalling cascade. As it lacks the C-terminal region of IRAK-1-W that has been reported to contain the TRAF6 (tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6) binding domain, IRAK-1-S was unable to bind TRAF6 protein, which is a proposed downstream signalling molecule. However, IRAK-1-S overexpressed in 293T cells induced constitutive activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) independent of stimulation by IL-1, as did IRAK-1-W. To clarify the mechanism of NF-κB activation by IRAK-1-S in the absence of binding to TRAF6, we demonstrated that IRAK-1-S binds to IRAK-1-W through its death domain; the findings suggested that overexpressed IRAK-1-S may bind endogenous IRAK-1-W and activate TRAF6 through IRAK-1-W. These results also indicate that this novel variant may play roles in the activation of NF-κB and JNK by IL-1 and other ligands whose signal transduction is dependent on IRAK-1 under physiological conditions.

Abstract One of the major attendant complications of multiple myeloma is renal injury, which contributes significantly to morbidity and mortality in this disease. Monoclonal immunoglobulin free light chains (FLCs) are usually directly involved, and tubulointerstitial renal injury and fibrosis are prominent histologic features observed in myeloma. The present study examined the role of monoclonal FLCs in altering the nuclear factor κ light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) activity of renal epithelial cells. Human proximal tubule epithelial cells exposed to 3 different human monoclonal FLCs demonstrated Src kinase–dependent activation of the NF-κB pathway, which increased production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). Tyrosine phosphorylation of inhibitor of κB kinases (IKKs) IKKα and IKKβ and a concomitant increase in inhibitor of κB (IκB) kinase activity in cell lysates were observed. Time-dependent, Src kinase–dependent increases in serine and tyrosine phosphorylation of IκBα and NF-κB activity were also demonstrated. Proteasome inhibition partially blocked FLC-induced MCP-1 production. These findings fit into a paradigm characterized by FLC-induced redox-signaling events that activated the canonical and atypical (IKK-independent) NF-κB pathways to promote a proinflammatory, profibrotic renal environment.
