NF‐κB p52:RelB heterodimer recognizes two classes of κB sites with two distinct modes

Abstract: The X-ray structure of the nuclear factor-jB (NF-jB) p52:RelB:jB DNA complex reveals a new recognition feature not previously seen in other NF-jB:jB DNA complexes. Arg 125 of RelB is in contact with an additional DNA base pair. Surprisingly, the p52:RelB R125A mutant heterodimer shows defects both in DNA binding and in transcriptional activity only to a subclass of jB sites. We found that the Arg 125-sensitive jB sites contain more contiguous and centrally located A:T base pairs than do the insensitive sites. … Show more

“…It suggests that nuclear accumulation of RelA, cRel and p50 in IKK2ca+ B cells can compensate for the loss of RelB:p52 activation in B cells deficient in BAFF-R signaling. Interestingly, analysis of crystal structure of RelB-containing dimers suggested that RelB may recognize a broader range of κB sequences than other dimers [93,94]. In sum, studies performed so far have not been able to reach a definite conclusion if different NFκB dimers activated by the non-canonical pathway have specific or overlapping gene activation functions.…”

“…By induction of both the canonical and noncanonical pathways of NF-B activation, BCL10 and CGN are positioned to influence a wide range of NF-B transcriptional effects. The p52/RelB heterodimer appears to bind to a broader spectrum of B sites than the p50/RelA heterodimer and may even bind to a modified consensus sequence (22)(23)(24). By activation of the noncanonical pathway, CGN and BCL10 may evoke responses similar to those of tumor necrosis factor-␣, as well as those elicited by inflammatory mediators such as dextran sulfate sodium that act through ROS (17).…”

“…RelB also contains a unique segment at its N terminus, which is referred to as the leucine zipper domain. We previously reported that RelB and p100 bind to one another through a complex interface that involves interactions between multiple domains on both subunits (5). We reasoned that a more complicated mode of interaction between RelB and p100 could play a role in regulating the stability and processing of p100.…”

“…RelB confers transcriptional activity by associating primarily with two other NF-kB family members, p50 and p52 (3)(4)(5). RelB also associates with RelA, but the resulting RelA:RelB heterodimer is incapable of binding to DNA (6).…”
