pubmed:abstractText
IKKgamma/NEMO is an essential regulatory component of the IkappaB kinase complex that is required for NF-kappaB activation in response to various stimuli including tumor necrosis factor-alpha and interleukin-1beta. To investigate the mechanism by which IKKgamma/NEMO regulates the IKK complex, we examined the ability of IKKgamma/NEMO to recruit the IkappaB proteins into this complex. IKKgamma/NEMO binding to wild-type, but not to a kinase-deficient IKKbeta protein, facilitated the association of IkappaBalpha and IkappaBbeta with the high molecular weight IKK complex. Following tumor necrosis factor-alpha treatment of HeLa cells, the majority of the phosphorylated form of endogenous IkappaBalpha was associated with the high molecular weight IKK complex in HeLa cells and parental mouse embryo fibroblasts but not in IKKgamma/NEMO-deficient cells. Finally, we demonstrate that IKKgamma/NEMO facilitates the association of the IkappaB proteins and IKKbeta and leads to increases in IKKbeta kinase activity. These results suggest that an important function of IKKgamma/NEMO is to facilitate the association of both IKKbeta and IkappaB in the high molecular weight IKK complex to increase IkappaB phosphorylation.
