NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway02:26

NF-κB-dependent Signaling Pathway

10.2K
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 Sorting01:45

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

3.4K
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...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

10.8K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Co-activators and Co-repressors02:04

Co-activators and Co-repressors

8.8K
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...

MAPK Signaling Cascades01:07

MAPK Signaling Cascades

9.0K
Mitogen-activated protein kinase, or MAPK pathway, activates three sequential kinases to regulate cellular responses such as proliferation, differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. The canonical MAPK pathway starts with a mitogen or growth factor binding to an RTK. The activated RTKs stimulate Ras, which recruits Raf or MAP3 Kinase (MAPKKK), the first kinase of the MAPK signaling cascade. Raf further phosphorylates and activates MEK or MAP2 Kinases (MAPKK), which in turn phosphorylates MAP...

Enzyme-linked Receptors01:00

Enzyme-linked Receptors

88.0K
Enzyme-linked receptors are proteins that act as both receptor and enzyme, activating multiple intracellular signals. This is a large group of receptors that include the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. Many growth factors and hormones bind to and activate the RTKs.
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...

Summary

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) regulates the NF-κB pathway by phosphorylating NEMO. This phosphorylation is crucial for ordered signaling, preventing uncontrolled immune responses and potential disease development.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Cell Signaling

Background:

  • The NF-κB pathway is vital for innate immunity and its dysregulation contributes to various diseases.
  • IKKγ/NEMO is essential for NF-κB activation; NEMO dysfunction is linked to progeria syndromes.
  • The role of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) in NF-κB regulation was not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the mechanism by which GSK-3β regulates the NF-κB signaling pathway.
  • To identify and characterize the interaction between GSK-3β and NEMO.

Main Methods:

  • Phosphorylation site mapping of NEMO by GSK-3β.
  • Analysis of GSK-3β-NEMO complex formation using wild-type and mutated NEMO.
  • Assessment of NEMO stability, ubiquitination, and NF-κB activation upon TNFα stimulation.

Main Results:

  • NEMO was identified as a GSK-3β substrate, phosphorylated at specific N-terminal serine residues (8, 17, 31, 43).
  • Mutations at these serine sites disrupted GSK-3β binding and NEMO phosphorylation, leading to NEMO destabilization.
  • Mutated NEMO showed increased K63-linked polyubiquitination and IκBα degradation, but impaired TNFα-stimulated NF-κB activation.

Conclusions:

  • GSK-3β plays a critical role in the ordered activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway.
  • NEMO phosphorylation by GSK-3β is essential for maintaining controlled NF-κB signaling and preventing aberrant immune responses.
