The nuclear factors κB (NF-κB) is a transcription factor involved in immune functions, inflammation, and cancer. Here, the authors show that the NF-κB factor RELA regulates splicing of target genes by recruiting DDX17 on chromatin upon expression of the ...

Interferon-β induction heterogeneity during KSHV infection is correlated to levels and activation of the transcription factors ATF2 and RelA, and not IRF3. [PDF]
Careful regulation of type I interferons (IFN) like IFN-β is vital for balancing tissue damage and protection against infections. Heterogeneity in type I IFN expression among virally infected cells is a common phenomenon that may help limit IFN responses, but the source of this heterogeneity is poorly understood.

Activation of Nuclear Factor-κB-dependent Transcription by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α Is Mediated through Phosphorylation of RelA/p65 on Serine 529 [PDF]
Nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) is an essential transcription factor in the control of expression of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses. In unstimulated cells, NF-κB complexes are sequestered in the cytoplasm through interactions with IκBα and other IκB proteins.

The cellular state determines the effect of melatonin on the survival of mixed cerebellar cell culture. [PDF]
The constitutive activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), a key transcription factor involved in neuroinflammation, is essential for the survival of neurons in situ and of cerebellar granule cells in culture.

RelA Is a Component of the Nutritional Stress Activation Pathway of theBacillus subtilisTranscription Factor σB [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe general stress regulon ofBacillus subtilisis induced by the activation of the σBtranscription factor. Activation of σBoccurs when one of two phosphatases (RsbU and RsbP), each responding to a unique type of stress, actuates a positive regulator of σBby dephosphorylation. Nutritional stress triggers the RsbP phosphatase.

Involvement of RelA-Associated Inhibitor in Regulation of Trophoblast Differentiation via Interaction with Transcriptional Factor Specificity Protein-1 [PDF]
Glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1), one of the key functional indicators of placental differentiation, has an important role in placental glucose transport. We previously showed that the protein levels of GLUT1 and nuclear transcription factor specificity protein-1 (Sp1) in rat choriocarcinoma cells (Rcho-1 cells) decreased during the differentiation of ...
