Abstract

NF-kappaB is a family of transcription factors important for innate and adaptive immunity. NF-kappaB is restricted to the cytoplasm by inhibitory proteins that are degraded when specifically phosphorylated, permitting NF-kappaB to enter the nucleus and activate target genes. Phosphorylation of the inhibitory proteins is mediated by an IkappaB kinase (IKK) complex, which can be composed of two subunits with enzymatic activity, IKKalpha and IKKbeta. The preferred substrate for IKKbeta is IkappaBalpha, degradation of which liberates p65 (RelA) to enter the nucleus where it induces genes important to innate immunity. IKKalpha activates a non-canonical NF-kappaB pathway in which p100 (NF-kappaB2) is processed to p52. Once produced, p52 can enter the nucleus and induce genes important to adaptive immunity. This study shows that Akt binds to and increases the activity of IKKalpha and thereby increases p52 production in cells. Constitutively active Akt augments non-canonical NF-kappaB activity, whereas kinase dead Akt or inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase have the opposite effect. Basal and ligand-induced p52 production is reduced in mouse embryo fibroblasts deficient in Akt1 and Akt2 compared with parental cells. These observ...Continue Reading
