Abstract:
The Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) is a family of transcription factor recognizing a 9-11 base pair kappaB sites on the promoter/enhancer region of their target genes. The family comprises of five members forming dimers amongst themselves in various combinations. Here we report the backbone resonance assignments of the 24 kDa homodimer of the p50 subunit of NF-kappaB. This is the first step towards understanding the mechanism of dimer formation in solution. The secondary structure derived from the chemical shifts for the dimer is largely consistent with that observed in the available crystal structures of the protein in DNA-bound form.
