“…LTβR stimulation was shown to induce nuclear accumulation of RelB:p52 via the NIK/IKK1 pathway and the phosphorylation and processing of de novo synthesized, rather than preexisting p100 protein (Mordmuller et al, 2003;Senftleben et al, 2001;Xiao et al, 2001). Indeed, a first phase of RelA activity was proposed to induce p100 synthesis to amplify RelB:p52 dimer activation (Dejardin et al, 2002;Muller and Siebenlist, 2003), but recent evidence indicates that RelA-responsive expression of RelB is more important in this regard (Basak et al, 2008). Signaling through multiple other TNF receptor superfamily members, such as BAFFR, CD40R, BCMA, TAC1 or RANK, was also reported to activate the RelB:p52 dimer via the non-canonical pathway.…”
