  • four helix alpha helix domains
  • a NEMO ubiquitin-binding domain (NUB)

    basic FUNCTION
  • required for the activation of NFKB and control in immune, inflammatory and apoptotic pathways
  • activating NFKB after stimulation by EDAR
  • playing an important role in B cell survival (but not in B cell development)and in T-cell development and/or survival
  • ubiquitylated through genotoxic stress-induced SUMO1 modification and ATM activation, permitting NFKB survival pathway
  • its ubiquitination plays an essential role in signaling pathways activating NFK-B through TRAF6
  • playing a critical role in IKK and NFKB activation
  • IKBKG, like VISA, acts as an adaptor protein that allows DDX58 to activate both the NF-kappaB and IRF signaling)pathways
  • regulates TNF alpha signaling by coordinating cell responses mediated by the AP-1 and NF-kappa B pathways
  • regulatory protein essential to the canonical NF-kappaB signaling pathway, notably involved in immune and inflammatory responses, apoptosis, and oncogenesis
  • having ability to specifically recognize poly-ubiquitin chains
  • novel function for IKBKG and NFKB modulating the DNA-damage checkpoint response, allowing the cell to integrate different signalling pathways with the DNA-damage response
  • IKBKB, IKBKG and REL control the levels of Claspin in the cells by an alternative mechanism to cell cycle
  • caused phosphorylation and stabilization of MYC protein in the nucleus through direct interaction
  • involved in stabilization of MYC by direct interaction which stabilization of c-Myc by direct interaction is a unique function of NEMO, which is a new mechanism to regulate MYC activity
  • a IKBKG- and RIPK1-based switch mechanism involving TNF-TNFR1 feedforward signaling that mediates ATM-induced cytokine secretion and caspase activation selectively in the context of severe DNA damage
  • regulates necroptosis independently of NFKB
  • functions as a high affinity receptor for linear ubiquitin chains and a low affinity receptor for long lysine-linked ubiquitin chains
  • essential for IKBKB activation by inflammatory stimuli, and also a specificity factor that directs IKBKB activity toward CHUK
  • role for scaffolds such as IKBKG in determining stimulus-specific signal transduction via the pleiotropic signaling hub IKK
  • scaffolding protein that, together with the catalytic subunits CHUK and IKBKB, plays an essential role in the formation of the IKK complex and in the activation of the canonical NFKB pathway
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    NF-kappa B cascade
    a component
  • complexing with IKBKA and IKBKB, associating preferentially with IKBKB, required for the activation of the complex (noncatalytic regulatory component)
  • IKK complex regulator
  • core domain is a dimer that binds two IKK fragments and identify energetic hot spots that can be exploited to inhibit IKK complex formation with a therapeutic agent
  • IKBKG together with catalytic subunits CHUK and IKBKB, forms the IKB kinase (IKK) complex, a key regulator of NFKB pathway signaling

  • binds to linear di-ubiquitin
  • novel IKBKG-interacting protein, RUSC1, an adapter molecule previously shown to be involved in the NGF-pathway via the NTRK1
  • important interaction between IKBKG and TRAF6 (a new binding site for TRAF6 located at the N-terminus of IKBKG and recognized by the coiled-coil domain of TRAF6)
  • interacting with TRIM23 (both the CC1 and LZ domains of IKBKG are essential for this interaction)
  • interacting with FBXW7 and MYC (interaction caused reduced ubiquitination of MYC by inhibiting ubiquitinating activity of FBXW7 without blocking the interaction between MYC and FBXW7)
  • RPAP3 interacts with IKBKG and inhibits its ubiquitination and RPAP3 enhances cell death through the inhibition of NF-kappaB pathway
  • interacting with ATM (in the context of excessive DNA damage, ATM employs IKBKG and RIPK1 through autocrine TNF signaling to switch on cytokine production and caspase activation)
  • crucial for osteoclastogenesis and interacts with CSK in osteoclast
  • TRAF7 interacting with IKBKG, and RELA (promotes Lys-29-linked polyubiquitination of IKBKG and RELA that results in lysosomal degradation of both proteins and altered activation)
  • ubiquitin chain-dependent, but persistent, interactions between NKX3-2 and IKBKG can give rise to constitutive IKBKB activation in the nucleus
  • binding to polyubiquitin is essential for NFKB activation
  • SENP2 can efficiently associate with IKBKG, deSUMOylate IKBKG, and inhibit NFKB activation induced by DNA damage
  • recruitment of IKBKG to ubiquitinated RIPK1 is a key step in the TNFR1 signaling pathway that determines whether RIPK1 triggers a necrotic death response
  • NSFL1C associates with the IKBKG subunit of the IKB kinase (IKK) complex upon TNF or IL1 stimulation, and inhibits IKK activation
  • by mediating USP10-dependent deubiquitination of IKBKG, ZC3H12A induction serves as a negative feedback mechanism for attenuating genotoxic NFKB activation
