| Abstract |
|---|
The inhibitor of kB kinase (IKK) complex, a critical positive regulator of nuclear factor
B (NF-
B) signaling and immune function, can be activated in vitro by polyubiquitin chains. The modification of signaling intermediates by polyubiquitin and their association with ubiquitin-binding domain-containing proteins within multimolecular signaling complexes therefore represent a potential mechanism for activation of IKK and NF-
B in vivo.
