Function

NF-kappa-B is a pleiotropic transcription factor present in almost all cell types and is the endpoint of a series of signal transduction events that are initiated by a vast array of stimuli related to many biological processes such as inflammation, immunity, differentiation, cell growth, tumorigenesis and apoptosis. NF-kappa-B is a homo- or heterodimeric complex formed by the Rel-like domain-containing proteins RELA/p65, RELB, NFKB1/p105, NFKB1/p50, REL and NFKB2/p52. The heterodimeric RELA-NFKB1 complex appears to be most abundant one. The dimers bind at kappa-B sites in the DNA of their target genes and the individual dimers have distinct preferences for different kappa-B sites that they can bind with distinguishable affinity and specificity. Different dimer combinations act as transcriptional activators or repressors, respectively. The NF-kappa-B heterodimeric RELA-NFKB1 and RELA-REL complexes, for instance, function as transcriptional activators. NF-kappa-B is controlled by various mechanisms of post-translational modification and subcellular compartmentalization as well as by interactions with other cofactors or corepressors. NF-kappa-B complexes are held in the cytoplasm in an inactive state complexed with members of the NF-kappa-B inhibitor (I-kappa-B) family. In a conventional activation pathway, I-kappa-B is phosphorylated by I-kappa-B kinases (IKKs) in response to different activators, subsequently degraded thus liberating the active NF-kappa-B complex which translocates to the nucleus. The inhibitory effect of I-kappa-B on NF-kappa-B through retention in the cytoplasm is exerted primarily through the interaction with RELA. RELA shows a weak DNA-binding site which could contribute directly to DNA binding in the NF-kappa-B complex. Beside its activity as a direct transcriptional activator, it is also able to modulate promoters accessibility to transcription factors and thereby indirectly regulate gene expression. Associates with chromatin at the NF-kappa-B promoter region via association with DDX1. Essential for cytokine gene expression in T-cells (PubMed:15790681). The NF-kappa-B homodimeric RELA-RELA complex appears to be involved in invasin-mediated activation of IL-8 expression. Key transcription factor regulating the IFN response during SARS-CoV-2 infection (PubMed:33440148).

Notes

Abcam's NFkB p65 (pS536) and NFkB p65 (Total) in vitro SimpleStep ELISA™ (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is designed for the semi-quantitative measurement of NFkB p65 (pS536) and Total NFkB p65 protein in Human and mouse cells.

The SimpleStep ELISA™ employs an affinity tag labeled capture antibody and a reporter conjugated detector antibody which immunocapture the sample analyte in solution. This entire complex (capture antibody/analyte/detector antibody) is in turn immobilized via immunoaffinity of an anti-tag antibody coating the well. To perform the assay, samples or standards are added to the wells, followed by the antibody mix. After incubation, the wells are washed to remove unbound material. TMB substrate is added and during incubation is catalyzed by HRP, generating blue coloration. This reaction is then stopped by addition of Stop Solution completing any color change from blue to yellow. Signal is generated proportionally to the amount of bound analyte and the intensity is measured at 450 nm. Optionally, instead of the endpoint reading, development of TMB can be recorded kinetically at 600 nm.

As of October 2019, this kit was reformulated with new antibodies to maintain continued long term supply.

Estimated sensitivity: Phospho-NF-κB p65 (Ser536): 5 μg/mL (tested with HeLa), Total NF-κB p65: 5 μg/mL (tested with HeLa)
Range: Phospho-NF-κB p65 (Ser536): 6-600 μg/mL, Total NF-κB p65: 6-600 μg/mL

Activity summary

NF-kB p65 also known as RelA is a transcription factor with a molecular mass of around 65 kDa. It is a vital component of the NF-kB family typically found in the cytoplasm in its inactive form. Upon activation it translocates to the nucleus where it regulates the expression of target genes. NF-kB p65 is ubiquitously expressed in various cell types including immune cells and epithelial cells.

Biological function summary

NF-kB p65 plays a central role in regulating immune response and inflammation. It forms a complex with proteins such as p50 to bind DNA and modulate gene transcription. This complex is essential for cellular responses to stress and infection influencing processes such as cell proliferation and survival. It also interacts with other transcription factors and cofactors to fine-tune gene regulation.

Pathways

NF-kB p65 is integral to the canonical NF-kB signaling pathway which gets activated by signals like cytokines and bacterial products. The protein family includes several related proteins such as IκB that inhibit NF-kB activity until signal-induced degradation allows NF-kB to enter the nucleus. Another related pathway is the MAPK pathway which can interact with NF-kB signaling to coordinate cellular stress responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

NF-kB p65 is implicated in conditions such as cancer and inflammatory diseases. Its dysregulation can lead to chronic inflammation contributing to tumor progression. Inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis also show abnormal NF-kB activity contributing to disease pathology. Additionally interactions with proteins like IKK contribute significantly to these diseases altering NF-kB signaling and gene expression patterns.
