In resting cells,

NF-κB binds directly to an inhibitor called I-κBα

TLS Online TPP Program

#Id: 10030

#XL - T Zoology

A single molecule of I-κBα binds to N-terminal domains of the p50–p65 subunits, masking their NLS.

Within minutes of stimulation of the cell, β subunit of

I-κB kinase becomes activated by phosphorylation

#XL - T Zoology

β subunit of I-κB kinase phosphorylates two N-terminal serine residues on I-κBα

#XL - T Zoology

An E3 ubiquitin ligase binds to Phosphoserines of I-κBα & links poly-K48-linked ubiquitin chains that target the attached I-κBα protein to the proteasomal degradation
