Product Information
Antibodies to phospho-IKKα/ß (Ser176/180) and phospho-p100 (Ser866/870) are produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptides corresponding to amino acids surrounding the indicated residues of human IKKα and NFκB2 p100, respectively. Antibodies to TRAF2, TRAF3, NIK,, RelB, and p100/p52 are produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic peptides corresponding to amino acids at the carboxy terminus of TRAF2, in a central region of TRAF3, adjacent to Gly659 of human NIK, surrounding Ser424 of human RelB, and at the amino terminus of human p100/p52, respectively. Monoclonal antibody to IKKα is produced by immunizing animals with a recombinant protein specific to a fragment of human IKKα protein. Polyclonal antibodies are purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Transcription factors of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB)/Rel family play a pivotal role in inflammatory and immune responses (1,2). There are five family members in mammals: RelA, RelB, c-Rel, NF-κB1 (p105/p50) and NF-κB2 (p100/p52). Both p105 and p100 are proteolytically processed by the proteasome to produce p50 and p52, respectively. The p50 and p52 products form dimeric complexes with Rel proteins. While p50 associates with many of the NF-κB family members, p52 tends to form dimers primarily with RelB. A plethora of stimuli such TNFα and LPS induce the canonical NF-κB pathway, characterized by the activation of the classical IκB Kinase (IKK) complex (containing IKKα, IKKβ, IKKγ, and ELKS), which then phosphorylates inhibitory IκB molecules, targeting them for rapid degradation through a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (3).
The noncanonical pathway, triggered by BAFF, CD40L, and certain other stimuli, is based on the inducible phosphorylation and proteasome-mediated partial degradation of NF-κB2 p100 to p52, a process regulated by the NF-κB Inducing Kinase (NIK) and IKKα, but not IKKβ or IKKγ (4-6). NIK phosphorylates IKKα at Ser176/180 (6) and p100 at Ser866/870, then recruits IKKα to p100 where IKKα phosphorylates additional residues in the N- and C-terminus (8), leading to the ubiquitination and processing of p100 (9). The TNF Receptor Associated Factor molecules TRAF2 and TRAF3 have been shown to be negative regulators of the noncanonical pathway (10, 11), and their differential binding to receptors may also play a role in determining whether transduced signals activate the canonical pathway, noncanonical pathway, or both (12). TRAF3 promotes the rapid turnover of NIK in resting cells, and its activation-induced degradation is a key regulatory point in the pathway (13). This pathway is required for B cell maturation and activation, proper architecture of peripheral lymphoid tissue, and safeguards against autoimmunity (14).
