This study explores the crucial role of the IKK kinase complex in the phosphorylation and subsequent ubiquitination of IkB, leading to its degradation by the 26S proteasome. The degradation of IkB releases NF-kB dimers, allowing their translocation into the nucleus and promoting gene expression. The interplay between various adaptor proteins and TNFα signaling in the cytoplasm underscores the complexity of this regulatory pathway. Figure 3 visually represents the key steps in NF-kB activation and IkB turnover.
