The two DNA-binding subunits of the transcription factor NF-kappa B, the products of the rel oncogene family and the product of the developmental control gene dorsal of Drosophila are homologous within a 300 amino acid region. This sequence represents a novel DNA-binding and dimerization domain. The access of the NF-kappa B/Rel/dorsal (NRD) transcription factor family to the cell nucleus is regulated. There is now evidence that functionally and structurally related accessory proteins of NF-kappa B, Rel and dorsal control the nuclear entry as well as DNA-binding activity of the transcription factors. This review summarizes current knowledge about the nuclear-uptake regulatory proteins (NURPs) I kappa B-alpha, I kappa B-beta/pp40 and cactus.
转录因子NF-κB的两个DNA结合亚基、rel癌基因家族的产物以及果蝇发育控制基因dorsal的产物在300个氨基酸区域内具有同源性。该序列代表一个新的DNA结合和二聚化结构域。NF-κB/Rel/dorsal(NRD)转录因子家族进入细胞核的过程受到调控。现在有证据表明,与NF-κB、Rel和dorsal在功能和结构上相关的辅助蛋白控制着转录因子的核内进入以及DNA结合活性。本综述总结了目前关于核摄取调节蛋白(NURPs)IκB-α、IκB-β/pp40和cactus的知识。
