“…In addition, IKKe has also been shown to phosphorylate the c-Rel transactivation domain at unknown sites and stimulate its nuclear accumulation (Harris et al, 2006). Mouse c-Rel is phosphorylated in vitro at an ERK kinase consensus site in its transactivation domain (Ser-451) (Fognani et al, 2000) but, although otherwise conserved, this exact site is not present in the human or chimpanzee forms of the protein (Starczynowski et al, 2005). c-Rel, in common with RelA and p105, is also inducibly tyrosine phosphorylated at unknown sites (Neumann et al, 1992;Druker et al, 1994;Liu and Beller, 2002;Kang et al, 2003;Pellegatta et al, 2003).…”
