Abstract excerpt
NF-kappaB is a redox-sensitive transcription factor known to be activated by oxidative stress as well as chemical and biological reductants. Its DNA binding activity requires reduced cysteines present in the p65 subunit of the dimer. Thioredoxin (Trx) is an endogenous disulfide oxidoreductase known to modulate several redox-dependent functions in the cell. NF-kappaB was activated by addition of Escherichia coli...
