NF-κB

求聞百科,共筆求聞
NF-κB作用機制。在此圖中,將以Rel與p50蛋白組成的NF-κB異質二聚體為例。當處於被抑制狀態時,NF-κB位於細胞質中且與抑制蛋白IκBα形成複合體。通過內在膜受體的介導,一些胞外信號物質可激活一種稱為IκB激酶(IKK)的酶。IKK轉而磷酸化IκBα蛋白,這將導致後者的泛素化,使得IκBα從NF-κB上脫離下來,最終IκBα被蛋白酶體所降解。被激活的NF-κB接下來轉移到細胞核內,在這裏會結合到DNA上被稱為反應元件(RE)的特異性序列上。DNA/NF-κB 複合體接下來會招募其它蛋白,如輔激活物RNA聚合酶,這些蛋白將下游的DNA轉錄為mRNA並轉而被翻譯為蛋白質,這些蛋白最終導致細胞功能發生改變[1][2][3]

核因子活化B細胞κ輕鏈增強子(英語:nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells,簡稱為NF-κB)是一種控制DNA轉錄的蛋白複合體。NF-κB幾乎存在於所有類型的動物細胞中並參與細胞對諸多刺激的響應,這些刺激包括應激、細胞因子自由基紫外線照射、氧化LDL及細菌或病毒抗原[1][2][3][4][5]。在針對感染的免疫反應中,NF-κB起到了重要的調節作用(κ輕鏈是免疫球蛋白的重要組成部分)。NF-κB的調控失常與癌症、炎症和自體免疫病感染性休克、病毒感染以及免疫發育異常有關。NF-κB亦與突觸可塑性及記憶過程有着密切關係[6][7][8][9][10]
