B Kinase Complex

Two cytokine-inducible kinases, IKK
and
IKK
, are components of a 700-kDa kinase complex that specifically
phosphorylates I
B. Phosphorylation of I
B by IKK leads to its
ubiquitination and subsequent degradation, resulting in the nuclear
translocation of NF-
B. The oncogenic protein Tax, encoded by human
T-cell leukemia virus type-1 (HTLV-1), stimulates IKK activity to
result in constitutive nuclear levels of NF-
B. In an attempt to gain
insights into the mechanism by which Tax mediates constitutive
activation of the NF-
B pathway, we analyzed the chromatographic
distribution of IKK proteins using cellular extracts prepared from
three T lymphocytes either lacking or containing Tax. IKK kinase
activity and the distribution of proteins in the IKK complex were
characterized. In extracts prepared from cells containing Tax, the
activity of both IKK
and IKK
present in the 700-kDa IKK complex
were increased. Surprisingly, cell lines expressing Tax also contained
an additional peak of IKK
, but not IKK
activity, that migrated at
300 kDa rather than at 700 kDa. We noted that extracts containing Tax had extremely low levels of I
B
, but not I
B
, and contained predominantly a truncated form of the MAP3K MEKK1. These results suggest that Tax may target several components of the NF-
B pathway leading to constitutive activation of this important regulator of
cellular gene expression.
