| The NF-_B/Rel transcription factors are present in the cytosol in an inactive state complexed with the inhibitory I_B proteins. Activation of I_B_ occurs through both serine and tyrosine phosphorylation events. Activation through phosphorylation at Ser-32 and Ser-36 is followed by proteasome-mediated degradation, resulting in the release and nuclear translocation of active NF-_B. This pathway of I_B_ regulation occurs in response to various NF-_B-activating agents, such as TNF_, interleukins, LPS, and irradiation. An alternative pathway for I_B_ regulation occurs through tyrosine phosphorylation of Tyr-42 and Tyr-305. Tyr-42 is phosphorylated in response to oxidative stress and growth factors. This phosphorylation can lead to degradation of I_B_ and NF-_B-activation. In contrast, Tyr-305 phosphorylation by c-Abl has been implicated in I_B_ nuclear translocation and inhibition of NF-_B-activation. Thus, tyrosine phosphorylation of I_B_ may be an important regulatory mechanism in NF-_B signaling. |
