Arrange the following cellular events in the proper order in
which they occur in the activation of NFkB pathway
1= IKK complexes phosphorylate IκB proteins
2= IκB ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation
3= NF-κB complexes translocate into the nucleus
4= NF-κB complexes induce target gene expression

how doe nf-kb induce gene expression
how doe nf-kb induce gene expression
- A small, hydrophobic ligand binds to NF-κB, activating it
- Phosphorylation of the inhibitor Iκ-B dissociates the complex between it and NF-κB, and allows NF-κB to enter the nucleus and stimulate transcription (correct)
- NF-κB is phosphorylated and is then free to enter the nucleus and bind DNA
- NF-κB is a kinase that phosphorylates a transcription factor that binds DNA and promotes protein production
Activation of NFkB pathway results in the transcription of
genes involved in cell survival and inflammation. What
prevents this process from occurring in the absence of
stimuli?
Activation of NFkB pathway results in the transcription of genes involved in cell survival and inflammation. What prevents this process from occurring in the absence of stimuli?
- Binding of IkBa to NFkB dimer (correct)
- . Phosphorylation of RelA
- Lack of transcription of IkBa
- Ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of NFkB dimer
Ubiquitination is a post-translational modification process, that
attaches ubiquitin to a target protein. This process plays an
important role in the activation of NFkB pathway. What is
ubiquitin?
