pubmed:abstractText |
NF-kappa B/rel proteins are present in most cell types. In concert with other transcriptional factors they regulate a variety of genes which contribute to a wide spectrum of physiological activities like inflammation and apoptosis. An excellent example of this combinatorial regulation takes place in the IFN-beta promoter. In this promoter the fundamental regulatory elements are assembled within less than 100 base pairs including a NF-kappa B/rel enhancer and a negative regulatory element, called NRE. NRE is a member of a new class of transcriptional repressor sequences with a silencing capacity targeted to the NF-kappa B/rel enhancer. NRF is a novel transcriptional factor that binds to NRE. NRF belongs to a major class of transcriptional repressors that interact with specific promoter elements and repress transcription by separable repression domains. Such molecules have been termed active repressors, because they act by inhibitory protein-protein interaction and not simply by steric hindrance.
