Chapter 28, Problem 28CQ

(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason behind the mechanism for activating NF-κB that allows rapid changes in gene expression.

Introduction: The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) proteins contribute for many biological processes, such as hematopoiesis, embryogenesis, immune response regulation, and so on. These transcription factors are regulated by inhibitors of NF-κB (IκB). The phosphorylated IκB activates the transcription factor NF-κB.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain: Why the direct activation of NF-κB is not an effective mechanism for altering gene expression.

Introduction: The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) proteins contribute for many biological processes, such as hematopoiesis, embryogenesis, immune response regulation, and so on. These transcription factors are regulated by inhibitors of NF-κB (IκB). The phosphorylated IκB activates the transcription factor NF-κB.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain: How the removal of ubiquitin molecules from IκB by a protein produced by Yersinia pestis would affect the immune response to Yersinia infection.

Introduction: The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) proteins contribute for many biological processes, such as hematopoiesis, embryogenesis, immune response regulation, and so on. These transcription factors are regulated by inhibitors of NF-κB (IκB). The phosphorylated IκB activates the transcription factor NF-κB.
