Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) plays a central role in regulating inflammation in response to several external signals. The TGFβ-associated kinase 1 (TAK1) is an upstream regulator of NF-κB signaling. In TGFβ-stimulated cells, TAK1 undergoes Lys-63-linked polyubiquitination at Lys-34 by TNF receptor-associated factor 6 and is thereby activated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether...
