NF-κB in Human Disease: Current Inhibitors and Prospects for De Novo Structure Based Design of Inhibitors

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear-Factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) is an inducible transcription factor of the Rel family, sequestered in the cytoplasm by the IkappaB family of proteins. NF-kappaB exists in several dimeric forms, but the p50/p65 heterodimer is the predominant one. Activation of NF-kappaB by a range of physical, chemical, and biological stimuli leads to phosphorylation and proteasome dependent degradation of IkappaB, leading to...
