Target data

Function

Inhibits the activity of dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes by trapping REL (RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50) dimers in the cytoplasm by masking their nuclear localization signals (PubMed:1493333, PubMed:36651806, PubMed:7479976). On cellular stimulation by immune and pro-inflammatory responses, becomes phosphorylated promoting ubiquitination and degradation, enabling the dimeric RELA to translocate to the nucleus and activate transcription (PubMed:7479976, PubMed:7628694, PubMed:7796813, PubMed:7878466).

General info

Function

Inhibits the activity of dimeric NF-kappa-B/REL complexes by trapping REL (RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50) dimers in the cytoplasm by masking their nuclear localization signals (PubMed:1493333, PubMed:36651806, PubMed:7479976). On cellular stimulation by immune and pro-inflammatory responses, becomes phosphorylated promoting ubiquitination and degradation, enabling the dimeric RELA to translocate to the nucleus and activate transcription (PubMed:7479976, PubMed:7628694, PubMed:7796813, PubMed:7878466).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the NF-kappa-B inhibitor family.

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated at Ser-32 and Ser-36 by IKKA/CHUK and IKKB/IKBKB; disables inhibition of NF-kappa-B DNA-binding activity (PubMed:10329681, PubMed:10882136, PubMed:7628694, PubMed:7796813, PubMed:7878466, PubMed:8631829, PubMed:9701247). Phosphorylation at positions 32 and 36 is prerequisite to recognition by the SCF(FBXW11) and SCF(BTRC) complexes, leading to polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation (PubMed:10329681, PubMed:7628694, PubMed:8631829, PubMed:9701247). Phosphorylated at Ser-32 in response to FK506 treatment: phosphorylation is independent of IKKA/CHUK and IKKB/IKBKB and promotes NFKBIA degradation, followed by NF-kappa-B activation (PubMed:10574930). Phosphorylated at Tyr-42: its effect is however unclear (PubMed:8797825, PubMed:8940099). According to a report, phosphorylation at Tyr-42 activates NF-kappa-B without triggering proteolytic degradation of NFKBIA (PubMed:8797825). According to another publication, phosphorylation at Tyr-42 inhibits NF-kappa-B activity by preventing phosphorylation at Ser-32 and Ser-36 and subsequent ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:8940099).
