EC 2.7.11.10 Details
EC number
2.7.11.10
Accepted name
IκB kinase
Reaction
ATP + [IκB protein] = ADP + [IκB phosphoprotein]
Other name(s)
CHUK, IKBKA, IKBKB, IKK, IKK-1, IKK-2, inhibitor of NFκB kinase, inhibitor of NF-κB kinase, STK12, TANK-binding kinase 1, TBK1
Systematic name
ATP:[IκB protein] phosphotransferase
Comment
The enzyme phosphorylates IκB proteins at specific serine residues, which marks them for destruction via the ubiquitination pathway. Subsequent degradation of the IkB complex (IKK) activates NF-κB, a translation factor that plays an important role in inflammation, immunity, cell proliferation and apoptosis. If the serine residues are replaced by threonine residues, the activity of the enzyme is decreased considerably.
History
