NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

10.3K
The transcription factor NF-κB was discovered in 1986 in the lab of Nobel laureate Professor David Baltimore, for its interaction with the immunoglobulin light chain enhancer in B-cells. After more than three decades of study, it is now evident that NF-κB regulates the expression of over 100 genes. Most of these genes play an essential role in the innate and adaptive immune responses as well as the inflammatory responses of animals.

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

3.5K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Co-activators and Co-repressors02:04

Co-activators and Co-repressors

8.9K
Gene transcription is regulated by the synergistic action of several proteins that form a complex at a gene regulatory site. This is observed in eukaryotes, where the regulation of gene expression is a complex process. Regulatory proteins in eukaryotes can broadly be classified into two types – regulators that bind directly to specific DNA sequences and co-regulators that associate with regulatory proteins but cannot directly bind to the DNA. These co-regulators are further divided into...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

9.9K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Regulation of the Unfolded Protein Response

3.2K
Inositol-requiring kinase one or IRE1 is the most conserved eukaryotic unfolded protein response (UPR) receptor. It is a type I transmembrane protein kinase receptor with a distinctive site-specific RNase activity. As the binding mechanics of the misfolded proteins with the N-terminal domain of IRE-1 are unclear, three binding models — direct, indirect, and allosteric -- are proposed for receptor activation. Nevertheless, it is known that once a misfolded protein associates with IRE1, it...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Signaling

Background:

  • NLRC5 is a key regulator of innate immunity.
  • Its role in inhibiting NF-κB activation is cell-type dependent and controversial.
  • The dynamic modifications of NLRC5 and their impact on NF-κB signaling are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the dynamic modifications of NLRC5.
  • To elucidate how these modifications regulate NF-κB signaling.
  • To explain the cell-type specific inhibitory effects of NLRC5.

Main Methods:

  • Studied ubiquitination of NLRC5 by TRAF2/6 after LPS stimulation.
  • Utilized experimental and mathematical analyses to understand ubiquitination's role in NF-κB activation.
  • Investigated the deubiquitinase USP14's effect on NLRC5 and NF-κB signaling.

Main Results:

  • NLRC5 undergoes ubiquitination by TRAF2/6, leading to dissociation of the NLRC5-IKK complex.
  • K63-linked ubiquitination of NLRC5 at K1178 creates a feedforward loop enhancing NF-κB activation.
  • USP14 deubiquitinates NLRC5, strengthening its NF-κB inhibitory function.
  • Cell-type specific sensitivities to NLRC5 ablation correlate with deubiquitinase and NLRC5 levels, reconciling conflicting findings.

Conclusions:

  • Reversible ubiquitination of NLRC5 is a critical regulatory mechanism.
  • This dynamic modification fine-tunes NF-κB signaling in innate immunity.
  • Understanding these mechanisms clarifies NLRC5's diverse roles and inhibitory efficiencies.
