Abstract excerpt
The NF-kappaB family of transcription factors is an important component of stress-activated cytoprotective signal transduction pathways. Previous studies demonstrated that some activation mechanisms require phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and degradation of the inhibitor protein, IkappaBalpha. Herein, it is demonstrated that ionizing radiation in the therapeutic dose range stimulates NF-kappaB activity by a...
