Chapter 9, Problem 15RQ

How does NF-kB induce gene expression?

  1. A small, hydrophobic ligand binds to NF-kB, activating it.
  2. Phosphorylation of the inhibitor Ik-B dissociates the complex between it and NF- kB, and allows NF-kB to enter the nucleus and stimulate transcription.
  3. NF-kB is phosphorylated and is then free to enter the nucleus and bind DNA.
  4. NF-kB is a kinase that phosphorylates a transcription factor that binds DNA and promotes protein production.

Students have asked these similar questions
Cytokine receptors and tyrosine kinase receptors are similar in all of the following ways EXCEPT one. Which one is the exception? O They are both down-regulated by lysosomal degradation They both involve receptor exoplasmic domain dimerization They both result in an effector protein entering the nucleus O They both involve cytosolic domain phosphorylation
What is the purpose of the Map Kinase Cascade?
Compare the three kinases - PKA, PKC, and CaMKinase II in terms of activation. What is the initial signal that activates them, what components are part of the kinase, and how does the structure modify when activated?
